Best buck you have seen dead, in person

I've seen alot of big deer (over 200") being brought in to los cazadores, but all were pen raised deer that had been released so I don't count those.


Biggest deer that I've seen in person was a mule deer buck that weighed over 300lbs that grossed 211"

I see lots of big ones. Several over 200. But.....My wife works for a Taxidermist and there's a processor across the street.

biggest I've seen were from a put & take place 240-270" range.

mule deer was a 230s gov tag buck that was brought in to DOW.

My budy shot a 193 inch lf west texas mule deer, biggest ive seen.

i saw this buck the day he shot it. it seemed to take up the entire bed of his z71, biggest deer i had ever seen and probably will ever see.

I saw a low 190s Brooks County buck a few years back. Amazing mass. Wish I still had the pic.

WT: I have seen a 174 minutes after it was shot, and a 182 about a day after it was shot. Both great bucks.

I saw both of the gaints killed off of las racis ranch at los cazadores when we hunted the junco 272 n 311" natives. Mine is 199-7/8

Brooks county must hold some big deer.

I know of several 190s that have been shot there

I saw a 380" that didn't survive the dart....

run itself to death?

Somebody floating in a lake over that?

nope... just trying a different anesthesia called BAM, and BAM, the deer died.

Seen some big ones.

Biggest buck I have ever seen alive or dead. It was hit by a truck here in north TX. I got to see it about 1 hour after it was hit and the pics do not do this buck justice! I don't believe that the buck has ever been scored.

This one, just a minute or so after I shot him. $600.00 per gun low fence ranch in Val Verde co.

great deer

Wasn't the biggest rack I ever collected, but I shot a buck sometime back in the 80's (the head is over the fireplace now) that was too big to move. It was over in Louisiana, where I grew up. Probably the biggest and prettiest buck I ever saw. I grabbed him by the antlers to drag him over to the pipeline right of way, and I couldn't move him, not one inch. I went for help. Forget using the ATV. Had to get Dad's truck and a few able bodied helpers.

As a youngster doing the rounds at the Muy Grande and Cola Blanca contests, I saw handfuls of 180+ dead typicals and 200+ dead non-typicals..

Years and years ago, we hunted Mason Co. Around the late 70's/early 80's when you started having to take deer in to a cooler, there were these deer every year, probably 180's or so. Supposedly came from Blue Mountain area, but we hunted close and never saw anything remotely close

About a month ago I saw a low 190 class deer that was taken from low fence. The guy shot it in old Mexico. It was something like a 10k or 15k acre ranch. He told me the official score but I can't remember exactly what it was and I didn't take any pics.

210 4/8".

Yeah I bet you have, lol

Nice buck!

Who had it mounted?

Wish i had a pic of it but the buck that was killed out of falls co. a few years ago that scored just over 200. It was killed right behind my grandparents property... thing was a giant

Saw a pic of that buck. Grayson co right?

Bet TPWD

TPWD had it mounted and it is in their Game Warden Station

Have not ever seen a giant buck dead, biggest probably being mid 130's.

Just this little Ol Iowa buck, scored 280 something.

Interesting. I read the green score on this buck was around 247". Still a monster buck no matter what the score was.

The 247 inch green score was actually a different buck killed here in Iowa. This one was chased thru most of bow season and then he finally got him with a muzzleloader.

Sorta really looks like the same buck to me.

Well i know the guy and it green scored 282, that was 2 days after it was killed. thats the same buck for sure. There was another monster killed in nw Iowa that green scored around 250. This buck was killed in se Iowa

The bad part is that neither one of us killed it!!!! LOL

Then he has to have over a 200" typical frame with 80" of NT to score that. I can't see 80" of NT from those pics. The pics in the other link show the buck much better though.

Great buck!!!
It does look like the same buck as well as the same hunter.
But it could be just a coincidence.

Sorta looks like the same hunter too

we can shut this thread down now.

Amos wins again

dadgum, that thing is incredible....it would probably score 140 as a typical if u turned it upside down!

really?

shhhhhhh... Don't tell anyone but it's the same deer and hunter.

lol, sorry buddy, hard to tell in black and white.

i watched some guys on the TBH a while back claiming that they were looking at pics of two different bucks when i knew for a fact it was the same one (and obvious), in my best friends yard and soon to be on his wall, but you couldnt tell them that.

LOL

Seen several in the 225-250 lb range, but that was when I was in South Dakota. Pretty much every quality buck was expected to go over 200 lb up there. My roommate's girlfriend shot a little 4-point on her first deer hunt, and it went 145 lb. Sad thing is that is still bigger than anything I've shot here in Texas.

And yes, I believe weight is a much better way of determining the "best" buck than antler size.

Back in '83, I believe, a friend and I went to Davy Crockett forest for opening of gun season. Deer were running everywhere at first light, guns were blazing. We saw doe but only one buck. We decided to go into Crockett for lunch and on the side of the road was an old house with a flatbed truck with a GIANT deer head that was killed in the Neches bottoms. 14 point with double drops, massive east Texas mossback. The guy just cut his head off, no shoulder mount. Biggest one I've ever seen dead. Our high fence neighbors have some deer over 350", they are alive though. Hopefully some jump the fence.

382" for a whitetail.

476" for a whitetail. JK 150" sounds more reasonable.
