Was looking at old pics and came across the 10 point i killed in 2017 Not the biggest deer but man he was pretty. Had 2 wait 5 days after season came in to get a east wind . Killed it 10 minutes after first light . Had close to 200 daylight pics of him and about went crazy having to wait on the wind .

Nice one jbyrd.
To be honest. Any deer i have in my sights before sending an arrow or bullet. I watched 6 deer from my back deck this evening at 70 yards. I'll wait later this month before adding another to the freezer.
Sarge

Jbyrd, he looks like one we’ll be targeting next year if he makes it through the season this year. He’s not real wide but has mass, split brows, and a kicker off his right G2.

I’m in the

My “best” is a toss up. One scored better one was more mature. Both ate well. Not too impressive by the standards of guys across the country but for bow only kills in Jersey and now Md., I’m pretty proud of both.

Not the biggest but most memorable. It was November 10 2003 and I spotted this guy in a ditch in the middle of a field guarding a doe from a couple dinks. At the time I only had one rifle and had loaned it to my brother who was hunting across the woods from this location. I grabbed an Ithaca model 37 pump 12 gauge and went in. Crawled across 2 cow pastures on wet ground and got ate up by an electric fence while going under. Finally got within 70 yards of them and the doe saw me and took off. 4 a hello of 00buck later and I found this guy. My brother heard the shooting and boy was he (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) when he came out lol

I'm still waiting on the next one....

This was is far my biggest. I’ve killed several smaller more unique rack bucks.

Dressed 260 lbs.

Love the black face ! Mine was about the 5th in line scoring wise but just a beautiful animal! If I could have afforded it at the time I would have done a full body mount

Are those brow tines bladed?

.... I’d have full body mounted it prior to the fatal shot uncle J ... truly a gorgeous animal

No....but his left brow is forked...

LOL nice deer. Did you shoot that with your "finger gun" when you were 2 years old?

This is my best buck taken with a muzzleloader.

That’s a dandy airport trapper

Little different breed

... nice buck Matt... try not to be so affectionate in future pics though

Circa 1977

They look good to me when they're cut up and in the freezer.

.

Tremendous

Derek those brows are incredible, great buck , archery gear too!

Killed a few nice ones but have this picture handy , it was last years archery buck.

Killed him Nov 13 chasing a doe. 40 yard shot, watched him pile up about 75 yards from where he stood

I don't know where a single picture of a deer I have killed is. I have several of the boys.

All of them always turn out looking the same. A brown cylinder that stinks .

Really love these sleek early season bucks. Favorite time of the year to hunt whitetails.

Not my biggest, but my favorite. First buck with a flint lock rifle.

Not my biggest but by far my most memorable. Nov 7th 2020 he was locked down with a doe in a creek bottom. He just got done chasing a 6pt off an was rubbing a tree. After 30 minutes of snort wheezing, grunting an thrashing the brush I called him up out of it onto the hillside that I was walking down on my way back to the truck which was an overgrown strip mine field. The golden rod was so tall I didn't see him untill he was at 20 yards an he started to cut downwind so I stood up already at full draw gave him 2 or 3 more steps so he was a little more broadside an sent one through the boiler. He ran 50 yards an piled up. By far my best hunt ever.

20” spread, 195# 8pt. Lewis County NY.

Lots of nice deer pics. I like that muley elkguy. JoMiBro that looks like a wide heavy buck, and a heck of a shot you placed on him. Bowhunting is so much fun.

This is my best buck to date

25" inside with 29" mainbeams

But this one is the prettiest

Beautiful amazing Deer

Congratulations

Melanistic?

330 he was almost completely white, even his nose and inside his ears were snow white. He had brown patch on his forehead and a small spot on his hip. We had trail cam pics for 4 years but only saw him the one time

So there are some serious buck hunters on here, lol! A lot of awesome looking deer and great pics too!! Yeah you can’t eat antlers, but there’s nothing like watching one grow over the years and finally outsmarting him.
I wanted to comment on so many on here I’d add about 2 more pages, lol.
The one with the 25” spread and 29” main beams is a beast!
The albino had to have been watched for years to grow to that size!
Those early season bow kill bucks have some serious slick coats on them. I notice it especially when one is side by side with a November killed buck on the wall.

I’ll agree that the antlers don’t necessarily mean the most to some as far as rememberable, I have one that’s nothing but a 142” 8pt with a kicker and a 3rd main beam that sticks out just because of how it unfolded. He was seen and followed on camera all year and we guesstimated him in the 120’s. It wasn’t until I saw him in person I realized he was a lot bigger than what we thought. What’s cool is I grunted him to me from 300yds away. The entire time I’m texting my son and telling him about the deer and he’s like he ain’t gonna make 140” and I’m telling him I’m looking at the deer in person!! We went back and forth the entire time this buck is “BullDawg” walking to me. It was a perfect setup, in a climber about 25ft up, the sun at my back, and the deer closing the distance. My last text to my son about what he would score was, “Well, we’re about to see firsthand what he scores because by the time you read this, he’ll be dead!”
I was shaking so bad after the shot I had to wait 10min to climb down. The entire time my son is blowing up my phone asking for pics, lol.
What’s cool is I had pics from velvet to the day I shot him. Even had him on video walking by grunting and all I can call it is growling while on the trail of a doe.

Super Story^^^ Awesome Deer

That's Awesome !!!
Good thing he wasn't True Albino in this goofed up regulation State

That's what you call a wide load. WOW.

I am horrible at taking pictures at deer camp , the few I do take are typically in the dark as an after though.
I live to much in the moment and there is always something to be doing if there is daylight wish I had more pictures

Rob,

Where are the deer's back legs ?

Did you get hungry waiting for him on the stand ? LOL !!

w

Melanistic would be black. Leucistic is the lack of dark pigment without being true albino.

DING DING we have a winner. That is the most unique and prettiest deer I've ever seen....

Not my prettiest but my 2 biggest

From 1993 to 2008 I joined the pope and young Club four times and would now like to know how to join the spoon and crock pot Club. Asking for my grandson.

My favorite one, just done making bologna from it.



The rest are memories.

They are under him in the Spruce bog. He went straight down when I shot him and I had a heck of a time getting him out of there.

I killed this buck last season after chasing him 3 years. He had a 3rd beam in the center of his head that had been broken off, it had its own pedicle as well

that's a super nice deer

This guy is pretty good lookin'. Heck, the buck is not half bad either.




This is not the prettiest, but the biggest at 267# dressed weight after two days of hanging.

That thing is huge MnMan
Jbyrd what did that tall buck score? He's got some long tines

Some truly amazing pics guys! Have not shot anything close in size to those hogs. My largest in rack and body I never got a pic of. It was a deer drive and the group drove it straight to me. Was fun but fast. I let the youngster in the group tag it. I think he was 12. He could not believe I gave it to him. He was on cloud nine for sure! great memory

These are my best bucks. Left is my biggest rifle buck and the right one is my biggest archery buck.

176 5/8. 19 in g-2s
Other one is 191 7/8. 12 pt

Not going to lue i would take the lesser scoring buck if they walked out together. Love the tine length

RM, go back several years. You'll see many pics and scores
I Was waiting for it. BOOM.

Best Bow kill on pedestal

Best rifle on wall

Awesome bucks. Love those double drop tines.

All rifle kills

Dang those are really nice deer !!!!

1lessdog both those deer are great bucks. I have yet to kill one with a drop. Do you see it often in your deer herd? They both ND deer? Thanks for sharing

Got this one on my step daughters 16th birthday.

That’s a awesome buck

The two with drop tines were taken 10 yrs apart and about 30 miles apart. I only know of one other drop tine deer that has been taken in the area, so not very often.

I had this Buck less than 100 yds away for over 20 mins the 2nd to last day of season. My son only had a doe tag. It's a 190 class buck. I picked up the sheds about 2 miles from where I seen him. I did kick him up opening weekend of Pheasant season.

Nice typical 12 that I shot in 2011. 9-1/2" brow tine on the left.

We got some serious bone killers on this site!!

Prettiest I’ve been after. Tried during the late winter bow season. I didn’t kill it. Lost it to wolves a month or so after the photo.

Osky

Geez that is a pretty buck with the antlers wet like that!

I think living in those big cedar/tamarack swamps what they rub on does that. The night was wet and enhanced the chocolate antlers, I’d decided when I took him I’d have them sprayed with gloss clear finish to keep that look. I put the cart before the horse on that one.

Osky

That is a beautiful buck picture osky.

Those chocolate antlers are a dream of mine!

Not nearly as big but chocolate antlers.

About the darkest I’ve gotten. And he was starting to whiten up on that left side.

My best....

This is my finished euro mount from the 10 point I killed second day of season. Not a very impressive rack but very dark chocolate antlers!

This is definitely my favorite one I've taken yet in Pa.

That euro really turned out great.
We get a fair amount of chocolates here, maybe my “ what they rub on theory “ is incorrect?
I have a smaller 10 point rack hanging in the place that’s very dark as well. Sorry no pic.

Osky

Every critter in my house gets to help celebrate Christmas
( sorry for the sideways picture, I tried to straighten it out)

Thanks Osky! He was darker than most folks around here have ever seen. Myself included.

Mine gets festive as well!

2019 with my robertson longbow 51lbs@28 175 simmons swampshark.

I was behind you on the road when you ran that thing over with your truck.

.... got this one late season last year coming into a synthetic rub



... ended up doing an Ethiopian mount on him

You…killed…Bambi and Thumper!!

... the rabbit came into a bahia grass food plot... wind was swirling and I sealed the deal just before he caught me

7X7 on left and 6X6 on right. I posted an earlier pic of each of them when I shot them in 1977 and 1981 on page 3 on the bottom.

They had deer back in those days?

[quote=330-Trapper]
Circa

Sure looks like a 22 haha nice shooting!

Trappers are pretty good big buck killers! Except for that jackalope killer Savell....

..just kidding Bobby. I know you've killed a biggun or 2.

My best and most memorable!! 163" 13 point, saw him 1 time before archery season, killed him on state ground in PA. Will never forget that morning!

He killed Bambi and Thumper.

.. that was a mature one... notice the roman nose and big ears.... came into a snort fart call from crosswind

And they say you can't eat the antlers....


Those are probably soft enough to eat...with minimal boiling....

... I know jealous when I see it

Looks like that Rage entered a little far back but did the job...

Is that kill one of those "kill him b4 the other guy does" public land trophies??

..I have the right to remain silent

You do. But I dont think u can...

Proud of you nephew!!!

LOL.

She had brown eyes and was med rare. You talk about good looking.

Killed 2 B&c with my bow. Neither trumps my sons

They never really get any better than the earliest ones.
Proud little feller there ... pop too I bet !
Thanks

I was shaking worse than he was🤣🤣. So proud of him getting his first at 6 years old. He put in the work practicing with his 22 over the summer.
I bought him a ruger American 300blk that mirrors his 22. No lie, he was holding a 4" group at 150 yards the first time he shot it.

... thanks uncle J ... he was just one hop away from hitting my scent ... got lucky for sure

Those hours of teaching you the shrub mode style of killing is finally paying off !!

Just got this guy the other day. Not the biggest I've ever shot, but the biggest I ever shot while hunting. Had to dispatch a monster 12 point in my former life that was struck by a minivan and was suffering.

Very nice old buck there! Congrats!

A lot of good ones. The boys takes the prize.

My son killed his second deer this year at 8 years old while hunting with his grandpa. Very nice buck for a second deer.
