My 2012 Whitetail 204" SCI

[SCO]

Thought I would post a pic of my 2012 whitetail. Been after this deer for 3 years. He was definitely a bigger deer last year and had started to decline in antler size. Aged him between 8.5 to 9.5 yrs. Would have been a new world record for SCI last year and possibbly B&C. Widest outside spread is just under 30 inches and the deer weighed close to 400lbs. Shot him on the 13th of november in full rut at 350 yards. We stlked it for 750 yards. First shot was broadside and split the heart in half. All the deer did was turn and start walking. Hit him 3 out of 5 shots before he finally broke down and found the bullet under the skin from the first shot perfectly mushroomed. Was shooting a 300 wsm with some hot 180 grain reloads.

[Zuludog]

Very Nice. I assume a mount is coming? :sHa_shakeshout:

[Rhino81]

[1969 mustang]

Now thats a MONSTER!! Awesome, Congrats

[SCO]

Very Nice. I assume a mount is coming? :sHa_shakeshout:

Yeah, I am doing a pedestal mount with the 191" in my avatar and a 186" 5x6 I harvested a few years ago. The sad thing is this one is so damn wide it makes the other 2 look like 160"-170" class deer. There was a 248" non-typical I seen at a horn scoring event that looked smaller than mine for the simple reason it fit easily inside of my antlers. My deer was over 30 inches deep in a straight line from it's back to it's brisket.

[flyguyd]

Well done

[rasbok]

Wow great buck ! Congrats

[buckbrushoutdoors]

Any other pictures. At first glance I thought it was a mule deer because of the really dark face and lighter nose. Nice buck.

[dfrobert]

Monster!

X2 It seems to have some muley characteristics including how the tips of the main beams don't wrap back much......Wicked buck!! Should look great on the wall! Who you using for the three mounts?

When I first saw the pic I thought that exactly too :)

Great deer, I like the cape on him too.

It is a nice deer and congrats for sure. But I think your world record comment may be a little off. Unless he turned into a 5 by 5 and his brow tines lost 6 inches each and he grew all the abnormal points and his G-4's got week all this year.

Like I said nice deer for sure but World record potential I think not.

[Sledhead71]

Beauty trophy !!! What dreams are made of while in the field, big congrats and thanks for sharing.

Awesome deer congrats....

What I mean by this is that this deer was at his peak last year or the year before and has lost close to 8 inches off of each G2 and close to 4 inches off of each brow tine. The previous 2 years he looked pretty much the same with very little change between them. If you add up the lost inches that would be another 24 inches to add to the score plus if he would have lost any beam length or mass, although that is usually the only thing that they do not loose as much. He may have lost some length on his other tines as well but I have no way to reference that. I know the last 2 years his G2's were 2 inches longer than his G3's and his brows were half the length of his G2's. His G3's are 14 inches this year and his G2's are only 8 inches. I do not have pics of this deer from previous years but have notes that I have taken and have about 5 hours of veiwing this deer through a spotting scope at 800 yards plus or on private land that I could not get permission on until this year. This deer was aged at 8.5 to 9.5 years old.

Like I said nice deer for sure but World record potential I think not.

SCI only takes the gross typical score for typical and the total gross for non-typical unlike B&C which deduct for symetry, difference in tine lengths, diference between sides, differences in inside spread versus beam length or what ever else they deduct. When you look at there scoring methods I am suprised that they do not deduct for eveness of color or smoothness of each side compared to the other and etc. And yes he did grow most of the abnormal stuff this year. He had it last year but most would not have scored other than the 2 kickers off of the right side G2.
The SCI record held by my uncle scores 207 2/8 SCI. My deer scores 191 SCI typical, (204 non typical) if you add the 24 inches of length that the deer lost from last year that I posted above I am pretty confident that it would be a new #1 SCI. As it stands it is in the top 10.

[buckbrushoutdoors]

got any pics of your the deer in your avatar?

[Mutter87]

No need to justify your self, that Deer is smokin'!

You take all these out by Westlock?

With in a 20-30 minute drive of Westlock. I do have a few others in the 160"-174" range all from the same general area's I hunt. I also have hunted every day of November in the last 18 years except when it was closed on sunday's and I had to work 3 days once. I average at least 35-60 days of scouting in as well each year.

[SCO]

Here is another pic. He does have some mule deer looks with his coloration but it is a 100% whitetail. This pic gives a good indicator of the body size. The antlers are 30 inches wide outside spread.

[Hagalaz]

Congrats. :)

[Bound2Fish]

Wow big body on him. Almost makes that rack look smaller than it is. Congrats on a beauty buck.

[buckbrushoutdoors]

Yep thats a pig! In 2006 when I was working up in that country for Akita drilling we used to watch some hogs moving from feeding to bedding areas from the drill floor. picked up some huge sheds too

I was talking more about the possibly B&C comment. Maybe you meant he would net B&C. Anyway he is a pig and a beautiful deer. Congrats again.

[Brock1]

Wow, you are obviously a deer magnet! That is truly awesome.
What did he gross/net B and C?

I have guided since I was 16 y/o and you consistently produce world class deer that outfits with 25 guys per year shoot one or 2 of.

Very impressive. you are obviously a very patient man.

[bosshog]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Always good to see those pics and dream I'll bag a big boy like that. Goes to show that all your hard work pays off.

[huntress13]

Seeing deer like that always give me inspiration to never give up, they are out there. I personally haven't found one yet!!! Conrad's

[ww2269]

Well, i gotta say from the front i woulda said Muledeer with terible back forks and great brows. From the back defiantly a whitetail. Outstanding buck either way

[H380]

I admit I'm more than a little surprised by the number of people that think he resmbles a muley , clearly whitetail in all regards .. He may have been bigger last year , but just think of all the genes he surely spread around by getting a year older . Any final score B&C ? Congrats on a true trophy and great photos

The only thing that to me looks like a Miley is his face....nothing else resembles a mule deer....other than perhaps the large body size.

[elkhunter11]

Great buck, as to people posting that he resembles a mule deer, that is why you can't determine the species by looking at the head or antlers.

[BuckHunterBowen]

His ears are as wide as a mule deers..

[kropsbone]

nice pig

[Moreland]

Wow, nice buck!! Congrats

[elkamaholic]

Gorgeous buck!

[H380]

His ears are as wide as a mule deers..

Yes , and so is his butt ... giant body for sure ..

[buck-8835]

If i saw that thing i could peg it as a mulie!!! great buck though congrats!!

[d6dan]

Super whitetail SCO.. thanks for posting the pic..:)

[browning375]

Awsome buck! Almost looks like a bit of Mulie snuck in somewhere down the line.

[SCO]

Thanks for all the great comments. He is 203 3/8 B&C and 198 B&C net.

[Giles]

Do you have any more pics of that awsome buck !!! That's got to be the biggest typical shot this year ! A 198" 5x5 !

[baptiste_moose]

Unreal deer. Nice work man. Bought and paid for by the sounds of it!

[Kevwood]

Incredible buck and very even, would like to see a side shot if you have one...how long are his main beams?

[OneGirlWolfPack]

Wow that's crazy! Congrats on an awesome buck!

[Sledhead71]

Not to derail... There is a 207" net B&C typical 5 arrowed on film as well, non-typical was 239 net B&C.

[Muy Grande]

Very nice buck! Congrats:) Looks like a high possibility of a "hybrid" with the antler configuration, body size, coloration taken into consideration IMHO...:thinking-006:...again, very nice buck! That Ram is incredible too!!!:)
