I’ve seen a few pictures of a couple monster whitetail and a mule deer taken this year from Facebook but they aren’t my deer or pictures to show. I’m heading out this weekend for 5 days and have my mule buck and whitetail so hopefully I pull something out!

I know of a handful of Booners taken in archery season... One absolute beast of a non-typical which she passed on last season when he was just tipping the 200 mark. She was rewarded for her patience and dedication to her passion.

Trophybook, If people only knew about the pigeon bucks... Years ago I lived at Pigeon and had 40 acres on the lake. Saw some brutes around the lake lots. One day during season a "little" lake lot buck decided my back 40 was edible. I decided he was edible too. I could have shot him from my kitchen table with the door opened but I stepped out to a fence post. Never had him scored and he wasn't even close to 200 but for sure he was 170 or so. And he wasn't one of the bigger bucks I saw while living there. I ended up cutting the antlers up for backgammon pieces.

No problem that you don't want to share pics but I'm just curious, what exactly do you mean here?

Differing ideas of what big is.

I think I have seen pictures of this buck. It is massive, the guy looks like he is standing behind a moose.
