Big Buck Rundown

I thought I would give everyone a quick run down of the best bucks harvested off of our property. Pictured with these racks is our father, Tim, and the best sportsman, outdoorsman and woodsman I know. He is by far the best hunter in our club as he consistently harvests the biggest, most mature deer every year, while hunting considerably less than Damin and I due to his shift-work schedule.

The shed he’s holding in his left hand was a dandy buck, no doubt. The left side of this buck scored 60” alone and the G2 is around 11” while the brow tine measures out at 4 inches. Unfortunately this buck gave everyone the slip the next fall and went unnoticed. Still, I would have KILLED to see what that buck matured into; I would guess that he would score 145” with super long tines.

The shed in dad’s right hand was chewed off by rodents considerably when found, but is an awesome right side of a main frame 10. Too much of the shed had been chewed off for scoring, but it was estimated to score around 55”.

The buck on the red plaque was harvested by our dad in the fall of 2003. The only thing keeping this buck from being super was a good inside spread and good brow tines. This 3.5 year old buck features lengthy main beams and tall tines and scored 97”, an amazing trophy for our property before we began practicing QDM.

The buck on the left plaque was actually harvested by our grandfather and is the biggest buck taken off our property to date. It just misses Boone and Crockett with a score of 139”. Still, this buck is a deer hunter’s dream for any locale. A main frame ten with gnarly bases, massive main beams and an inside spread that will leave you breathless, the buck named “Big Mike” by our club remains the king of our property, for now…
