What is the Highest Scoring Buck You Have Taken?

[SwampCat]

That bottom buck a 158 4/8 and the one straight above up top a 155. That one just right of the bottom one upper 140’s but has 15 1/2” g2’s. The one just to the right of the beam has a double mainbeam and just scratches 150. Several other nice ones at deer camp. All off our 350 acres

I used to hunt for a specific size and above. But the last 5+ years I shoot what makes me happy. If I have hunted hard and haven’t seen much and a 110 walks by, look out! I try and hold out if I can, but I’m not picky and I like the meat. To each their own, if someone wants to shoot a spike, good for them! If someone wants to hold out for a 160+ that’s awesome! What makes me roll my eyes is when people name the deer.

I think it’s awesome how long so many of you have been hunting. I’m a late comer… Bow hunted for the first time in 2017 and was hooked. Biggest so far was in 2021 scored 154.

Was chasing a big one last year, but wasn’t able to close the deal. He went AWOL from our cams on Nov. 28.

I try to focus on age rather than rack size. Last year, I shot a 5.5yo that only scored 122. But he was a bully, and glad to take him. We send teeth off the Matson Labs for aging.

Let this one pass several times last year. I think he was only a 2yo. Just got my cams out, so looking forward to seeing if he made it.

Let me introduce you to Bob. He has double split ears just like my kid's cat at home named Bob. Bob got the pass twice last year, he won't be as fortunate this year.

We do the same. It’s not easy until you get good at aging in your neighborhood.

I’ve never had one scored.

I’ve never had one scored.

I haven't either. But it's fun to do it at home.

When my big buck was at the taxidermist there were some official scorers coming to his shop to measure a 250 or something stupid big like that. They offered to measure a few of the other big bucks there and he called me to see if I was interested. Was a neat process how meticulous they were.
