Rhino Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) 1st off congratulations fullrut. That's some great bucks! Am I there yet...nope. For the heck of it I checked my numbers & I stand a few inches short at 896 7/8. JMHO but that sort of number reflects how fortunate some hunters are to have great places to hunt where that kind of number can realistically be achieved. Many hunters will hunt their entire lives killing fully mature bucks that can't grow that much bone simply because it's not a possibility for the deer herd where they hunt. For example, a friend of mine killed a 158" buck in the Midwest that was a 3.5 year old buck. Here in MS I don't recall ever seeing a 3.5 year old buck with what I thought had more than 110" of bone on his head. Most 3.5 year old bucks here in MS have less than 100". A well known bow hunter friend of mine once told me...if you want to kill big rack bucks the 1st thing you have to do is hunt where they exist in huntable numbers. He moved from Montana to Iowa back in 2000 simply to increase his odds for encountering big antlered mature bucks. I spent a lot of time over the years bowhunting in the Midwest. The dream buck there is a 200" buck. The dream buck in MS is 150". There's only been 1 buck that made the 150" mark killed on our club in MS in the 24 years since I've hunted there. I killed it bowhunting here & it was a 6.5 year old buck. With all that said...to make the playing field even across everyone's turf here on the forum, how about the age of a hunters top 6 bucks adding up to 30. That's an impressive number to achieve too and more of a realistic possibility for everyone here than total inches of bone. For what it's worth, my top 6 add up to 37 years if you go by the 1/2's in age...34 if you don't add the 1/2's.

dbHunterNY Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Al just said it. I've hunted in areas of NY that were bow only and the bucks get abnormally larger due to simply reaching maturity and i've yet to hear of one that would make B&C. they exist but it's more like shooting a 250+" free range buck in the midwest.

fullrut Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thats a good idea. My ages are 4.5, 4.5, 5.5, 5.5, 6.5, 6.5, so my number is 33. I have killed a buck here in Indiana that was more than 8.5 but he isn't one of the scores that makes up my 900. Theres no doubt you have to hunt them where they are. I am fortunate I live in a good area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 those are still respectable numbers fullrut... most start shooting around 4.5 yr old no matter where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm just happy and blessed to have 6 of them on the wall, not really concerned about any club,... now if I could have the monsters that escaped me...I'd throw those 6 away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullrut Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 How bout this? How many years did it take you to get those number of inches? For me it took 11 years to kill 6 bucks over 150". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 now if I could have the monsters that escaped me...I'd throw those 6 away I hear ya about those that escaped. I'd do the same on at least 4 of the 6...maybe 5! But that's bowhunting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, my top 6 add up to 37 years if you go by the 1/2's in age...34 if you don't add the 1/2's. Fall a little short here Al. Would be nice if we could get a better age class on bucks here, but so long as this state continues on the same liberal management practices it is jut not going to happen on this little place we have. We don't have nearly enough land to make any significant difference with so many properties around us seeing the kind of pressure they do, unrealistic expectations to hold out for a 5.5 or 6.5 year old here. That said the oldest deer I have killed was possibly a 5.5 year old, killed 3 or 4 that we think were probably 4.5 year olds and quite a few 3.5 year olds. All those have come from right here behind the house. I hold out for 3.5 year olds or better, most around here think I am crazy for passing some of the deer I pass, but I really have nothing to prove to anyone else and hunt for my goals and that means I may go a season without killing a buck. Like you say though in order to kill big deer you have to hunt where they are, some of us don't have the options others do. I still think we could have some big deer around here if we had more willing to swallow their pride and not shoot everything they see.

dbHunterNY Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 when i've hunted out of state I've seen 3.5 yr old deer every day and several of them a day at times. back here you'd be lucky to see a 3.5 yr old every other year, let alone have an opportunity. general if the huntin' stinks, it stinks all around. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yep...y'all are right...really no way to even the field for everyone...everwhere across the country. ....most around here think I am crazy for passing some of the deer I pass, but I really have nothing to prove to anyone else and hunt for my goals and that means I may go a season without killing a buck. That's the way I feel too William. You hunt for the better age bucks you have in the deer herd where you're hunting and enjoy the experience no matter how the season shakes out at the end. If you're fortunate to hunt where bucks grow a lot of bone, it's a huge bonus. Ate my 3 Missouri buck tags this year but with the bucks we got on cams, the bucks I saw, the bucks I passed, and my buddy killing his best buck ever, it was a great season in MO. Really looking forward to next year now. BTW...my buddy thought I was crazy for passing a 145 class mature buck we had plenty of pics of in MO too! Wouldn't have passed him in MS but he wasn't even close to the upper end bucks we were getting on cams in MO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Someday I might have to measure a few of my bucks... just can not seem to get into the whole measurement game. Guess if they are pretty enough to shoot then I'm happy. Congrats to all those nice bucks out there. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Without looking at the scores sheets - (3 official & 3 unofficial) B&C net scores would be about... 2006: 149 2007: 162 2008: 130 2009: - 2010: 130 2011: 120 2012: 135 Total: 709 Tell Pat Robertson I just made the 700 club!

hoosierhunter Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 900 Club This is all very relative as others have mentioned. What states did the kills come from, fair chase, weapon used, outfitted hunt, etc. All I can say is if a few folks I know here "took their talents to south beach" instead of their current states those numbers might be scary.
