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

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

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.;)

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]

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.
