Lighten up Francis .... it's just something to kick around for fun .....

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I can't say in inches as the deer up here have more body than mass on their heads. But, to put it simply, if I can get to see the buck my son had missed this year with his first real rifle hunt. The answer will be a surprise to you.:D

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Shed33 or Kshunter have to be considered early favorites, just look at the brutes they have put down over the years. Oh yeah, if I can regain permission to hunt the riverbottom ground that I used to hunt of which a timber company bought a few years ago I might score bigtime.;)

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I voted for myslef because, as preacher mentioned, i got that horseshoe and its not goin anywhere :D

Oh yeah, and the obvious reason....im going to shoot the guy who dropped this: ;)



It scored just over 93" Should be 200+ this year :D

...that is of course assuming his other side isnt a spike [8D]

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

The great thing is it could be any of us!:D

I wouldn't rule out anyone.

Who knows, maybe this will finally be my year? Been a long time coming.

Last Sunday I scouted/turkey hunted a 800 acre spot of river bottom. It is about 1000 yards from the back of my shop:D
Lots of good sign back there.
The strange thing is, it is public hunting but only about 3 people bowhunt it according to the conservation officer I talked to when I was walking out.
He said that when it first was donated and made public about 4 years ago there were a bunch of people hunting it. They shot deer and had to drag them about a mile to the access. Most did not hunt there again.
My plan is to hunt it, shoot a monster, drag it to the river and come get it with my partners canoe.
I can hunt 4 mornings per week, all season long andhunt every Sunday at the farms in NE Iowa I have permission to hunt.
Oct 1st can't get here soon enough for me!

Disclaimer: Those that don't know my humor or have no sense of humor, I believe that Mike scores because he does what it takes to do so .... that being said, the golden shoe is clenched pretty tight into place, I hear [8D]

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Guided or unguided hunts?

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

While Iknow that Kshunter, MichaelHunsucker, WKP / Todd and Stikbow26 have the abilities and the land to make it happen (lay down a 170+ buck). Most times a 170+ buck isn't the first shooteryou run into and with the pressure of getting footage for their videos it will be tuff........ Odd's are much higher of running into a 140-150 class buck first.

The person who will shoot the biggest buck this year will be the guy who's first shot opportunity (or first "connected" opportunity:D) is ata mature buck is the 160-170+ variety.

Not many people wouldn't drop the string on a 140 buck, that's really what makes this question of Germs so hard to call [8D]

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

On a serious note, this is actually a very good answer...

Seem's like the guys that put down a monster most of the time are guys that dont hunt as much, just like my brother this year and his 180" monster that he got. I think he hunted 3 days this year :DLucky little man

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Man there are some people on that list that drop the hammer on some BIG bucks. Too many really to make a clear leader.
No offense meant to Rob, but I there's a better chance of hitting the powerball than a PA buck topping that list.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

As much as I hate to say it, I have to agree.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Nice Stipes reference PT. It's all for fun guys.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Guys you never know, I have a feeling about Rob this year he is due.

If 2006 you would have told me I would shoot a 176'' buck in MI; I would have laughed my arse off!!!

Guys it is just for fun;) I do have as many votes a buckeye;)

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Well, you share the number "5" in common... but 5 votes, and 5 percent are two different things! ;)[8D]

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Why am I not on this list!?



(LOL)

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I may not shoot the biggest out of everyone here, but I WILL shoot the biggest buck on my land ;).

I vote for Greg H.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Someone may seriously want to place a darkhorse bet on Matt... he's coming to Illinois during prime-time, and I just got access to a farm with rubs as big as my arm and I'm putting him in the best spots all week! :)

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I have to vote Kcison with Shed33 a very close second simply b/c he doesn't have the genetics that Kelly's areas have.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I put you on mine. ;)

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I voted for Duke cuz he shot 2 great bucks last fall, but i think i gotta a really good chance at bein higher on this list next year.We've got a monster walkin around.Can't wait til the hunting competition this season!!!

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

ill go with blood bro I think that one is andre right anyway that was a monster he shot last year and i mean a monster hey i have a shot now actually i just got access to 275 acres that havent been hunted in 10 years in the sleeper known as kentucky

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I voted for Bloodbro also.

I don't even know much about him.

I just know he has one heck of a collection of pics of bucks he has taken over the years. Very impressive!

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

He is not Andre. He is however on the same show as him.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I hope all of ya'll get a big one
i might get a doe this year they eat better

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

With the sheds I've found this spring I think I have a chance so I'll take myself. But good luck to you all and may you all get the one your after this season!

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

150 -160 gross is pretty much top of the line here but a 190 gross buck was shot ( rifle )in my area last year. You just never know wherethat next big brute will come from. You two, Rob and some others from Pa are very good hunters...oneof you are going to take a brute next year.

Hopefully Rob gets a shot at that big one he mentioned.

Tim

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

NOW you're talking, NY. I like the way you're thinking. I plan to do the same.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

OH blood bro is jared i bet or dan any of the blood bros will be hard to contend with go to their website ad look at the monster dan killed this year
www.bloodbro.com

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

Motownhonkey is due for a monster this year. Good luck to all!

Respect.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches) in 2007
 

I think if I could pick 10 people, then I might have a 50% chance at saying who will take the biggest buck.:D But it could come from anyone really. Anybody on that list would take a 170 class buck, but a 170 class buck won't win the contest.

But if I had to pick one guy from the list, it'd be Kelly/KY. He's been able to take some brutes in recent years, and seems to be the best choice for taking "Mr Freak Nasty" of '07.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

U already killed the biggest squirrell judging by your avatar!

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

Gotta go with GregH. Only because he's the only one who will be hunting with me this year! ;)

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

Dan sorry I forgot you on the list;)

How is the North country?

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

Hey JOEY... (KS) that huge buck you found the sheds too 2 seasons ago still alive?

If so... you get my vote :D

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

Now don't get me wrong guys, just cause I feel Pa has a slim chance of topping the leaderboard with a slammer buck, doesn't mean that I don't think Rob and the rest of us Pa boys are capable of dropping some big bucks. It's just that Pa big runs on a little different scale from Iowa or Kansas big.

But if by chance Pa did pull it out, man would I have tostart talking some big time smack:D[8D]

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

and rightfully so Rybo.. wouldnt suprise me if you, Fran or Rob..heck any of you guys dust a monster one of these days..bucks are getting some age on them there as its shown from your last couple of years kills! Good luck bud!

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

one more thing.. Buckeye ...he's going to in time..killa MONSTER.. from the bucks he videos and has in his area, I have no doubt its only a matter of time for Scott.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

I'm not sure. He hasn't been harvested, buteither way he is probably past his prime by now though. But he has deffinately passed on some of his genetics.Here are acouple game cam pics from last year of bucks with similar antlers... and i'm pretty sure they're still running around;) They may be the same buck in both pics, but i'm not sure.

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

Yep we are closing in on about a 190 plus, But as stated above I sure do hope he comes by before a 160 or better because I don't think I have that much will power with a cameraman in the tree. As the rule of thumb if it's on camera in focus with arrow drawn dead 160!!! Walt

RE: Who will shoot the biggest Buck(inches)
 

Great looking bucks Joey! I'm looking forward to late June through July to see what everyone is seeing, getting photos of and videoing.
