hoosierhunter Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 man dosse I'd guess him to be at least 4.5 in that pic. It's certainly easier though when you just stuck one that big a few weeks prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosse Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yea he was somewhat bristled up in that pic and makes him look older than he really is. In most trail cam pics he looked smaller. He got lucky and I lost sleep over my decision and whether I should have shot him. But I got to see him grow another rack and even though I didn't get him I really enjoyed getting to chase him again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 When it comes to whitetail, the biggest was probably around 130". It was the first day of the season and with bigger deer in the area I was not ready to end my deer hunting for the year. Muledeer, that's another story and I have often thought I missed my chance at a real wall hanger. I was hunting elk when the opportunity for a 15 yard shot at a 190+" brute presented itself. I was not in "deer" hunting mode and as the buck stood broadside I actually had the bow up and was imagining where I would aim, but I was in the middle of an elk hunt and my thoughts were more on a big bull. After about 10 seconds the buck turned and walked off and as I watched him disappear into the brush I realized that I had just let what may be the largest muley I have ever seen on the hoof simply walk away. That was five years ago now and I often wish I had taken the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
