for fellow big buck killers
 
Just curious, but if you added the gross score of your six biggest whitetails, what would it be? I know there's some club or group or something that you would be part of if your six biggest scored 900" or more.(150" average)

I live and hunt in eastern Oklahoma, a place not known at all for really big bucks, so I'm proud of my six biggest.
126"
132"
136"
140"
146"
163"

TOTAL :843" average = 140.5"

Dang captain, those are some nice bucks. Where abouts do you live. I grew up in Bartlesville.

Just south of muskogee. I hunt mostly muskogee and Mcintosh county. I do metal roofs for a living and I sometimes go to Bartlesville to do one. Small world. And by the way, Thanks.

137"
139"
141"
143"
182"

876" = 146" avg. I guess I really never thought of this before.

Yep i only have 5 bucks so far.

What does that mean? You don't think that they're all bow kills or that I never thought of this "900" club?

I've got 6 more bow kills that range from 122" to 133". I don't have any gun kills that score over 115". I usually take does with the gun to help balance the buck/doe ratio and finish off my meat supply. As far as the "900" thing, I've never heard of it before now. Usually I think of the deer I've taken individually, not as some collective number. Regardless of score, if I see a deer that makes me happy, I shoot it, if not I don't. One of my favorite deer doesn't make the record book even though he has 138" of horn on his head. He dressed out at 220# and has a 28" neck just under the jaw. He was the boss buck of the area and a real trophy to me. After 39 seasons of hunting, I've never entered a big buck contest. I've got nothing against them, I just never think about them or go to places where they are offered. I know I would havewon a few of them, but its not important to me. Deer hunting to me is a personal thing, I'm only trying to please myself. I am curious about your jab at me. I don't know you and you don't know me. Besides don't you have something better to post like some fictional thread, " I got #14! - Just kidding" or come visit my web site and see my tremendous buck thing?

Sorry for the misunderstanding then, but you just posted 5 pics of scorablemounts in another thread. I didn't see anything that said they all had to be bow kills. BTW, it's pure caffenated coffee, not Diet Dew.I don't Dew diet, slick.

This is partly my fault. I didn't specify about weapons used. Honestly, My bucks are 2 with bow, 2 with muzzleloader, 2 with rifle. I've killed a lot more with a bow, but my six biggest were combined from different seasons over the years. I live in East Central Oklohoma and I'm 33 yrds old. It would be really hard to have done all that with a bow in my life where I live. I did have a strange twist of fate in '04 though that cost me a buck that my brother got a month later with a rifle. He grossed 153" and still bore the scar from my thunderhead, which would have killed him had it hit one inch lower - I got ripped off!:DThat would have been my third P&Y and would have made my average 145! Oh well , I was sure happy for my brother. We also had two cam pics of that buck. Awesome hunting story that year for us!!

You guys are real gentlemen. It's not your mistakes that determine the kind of man you are , but rather what you do about them. I almost feel a group hug coming... Naahhh!:D

I've got a ton of bowkill bucks, butI'm still fairly early to the holding out for a big one game, so my average isn't very high. I do think this is a rather interesting statistic.

bowtech die hard 01-22-2006 09:10 PM

RE: for fellow big buck killers
 
i've heard of the so called 900 club. I've don't have enough bucks to qualify for the six, but then again i'm only 19, and i'm in college. don't have quite all the time in the world to sit out as much as i'd really like to. My goal is to eventually make it there. I told my dad i'd like to have 15 whitetail entries that qualify for p&y. I think I can do it. (by the time i die) and my life goal is to eventually get the super slam of bowhunting ( i know it sounds corny and there's prolly no way but I can have goals right?) So that's my views. I'm still young it could happen. I'm the kinda guy who sets really big goals for himself though. so.................

Bowtech,

you do realize that slam will probably cost you half million don't you? Bears and sheep will break the bank......

RE: for fellow big buck killers
 
I'm not sure but I think it was Jim Shockey (Tv personality and pro hunter)and a friend who came up with the ideal of a 900 club it's nothing official and was made for fun.When you have to average 150 you see how hard it is to get big trophy bucks.I'm sitting at 130
130
155
and nothing else big enough to mention.

I have a lot of pics, but all are 35 mm . I don't really have a way to get them on the computer. Sure would if I could.

Where are you from Ilovehunting??

I do have one IDEA - I went bowhunting this fall with Grand river outfitters in Northern Missouri and killed a 125" 8 pt with my bow. They have that pic on their website . Try this link www.grandriveroutfitters.com/images/Deer2005/GRO-Deer2005-35a.JPG and see what happens.
This particular deer would have been my 7th on the list.
