what a find
Saturday my buddies were doing some pushes for another buddy that was hunting with his flintlock. i was guiding him and sitting with him because i knew where to sit.
this is what one of the drivers carried out...   6" around just about the burr brow tine was 10.5 i believe G2 was 11.5 i believe G3 was atleast 8..i cant remember what it measured... main beam was only a mere 27"...:eek: mice or squirrels took a toll on it quick...it was pretty fresh, still had hair on the bases. buddy that found it was following his own tracks through the snow from the day before and found it..snow was melting quick the day he found it. dont know if it was THAT fresh or if he just didnt see it the previous day... i couldnt believe it...all on land i can bowhunt..was found on someones woodlot we have permission to hunt, right outside a county park your only allowed to bowhunt. dont know if i will persue it...TONS of deer in the area..litterally..but the buck numbers are pretty bad...alot of guys say the bowhunters take the bucks out..and we been in the park just walking around before and its littered with treestands. dont know if im smart enough to outsmart a buck that is that old and as smart as he is... any guess on what the buck would score?? the mass is pretty unbelieveable...i happened to notice my buddy left it in my truck and took those quick measurements before i returned it to him..what about age?? i said atleast 3.5 or 4.5...just curious... that got us all pretty pumped, but we only hunt the area in flintlock season...rifle season the farms get hammered and the deer seek refuge in the park...i might look into bowhunting it...i dont know...its big and big hardwood trees dominate the park...the deer are in and out of the park regularly to eat corn on the farms..but i might beable to outsmart the other hunters..most of their stands are right behind their houses or close to the roads or up against the cornfields etc...we will see... |

RE: what a find
Man if it's this year's it had to have an army of squirrels on it. I'd be carefull hunting there, I hear those those will kill for a good nut.

RE: what a find
nice
|
RE: what a find
main beam was only a mere 27"...:eek: Great find, regardless! |
RE: what a find
A mere 27"....wow, what a monster, and I'm with GMMAT, perhaps the pics don't do it justice...or you have hands like andre the giant.

RE: what a find
almost posative thats what it measured Jeff...i about pooped when i taped it...it honestly doesnt look THAT big in person...but it kinda has a wierd curve to it..heres 2 more pics that may help...keep in mind the tine legnth and i just measured the top of that aquarium its sitting atop of in the one pic..thats 17" across...
  maybe those pics will help...heck, look at my hand in comparision...4 fingers how they are in that pic is 4"...just measured that as well lol...i know you arent doubting me...just trying to help you see the size of it...that isnt something easy to get a good comparison pic of... being that there is no hunting except bowhunting in the park, and nothing but mature oak trees, the squirrel population is probably nasty thick..no doubt its from this year...it had its color and hairs on the bases still... |
RE: what a find
nice find
|
RE: what a find
That's really neat, Mauser. Congrats! Now find the rest of him!
|
RE: what a find
wow, that could be a massive 8 (but I bet the other side had more points with that space on the main beam).
|
RE: what a find
Nice find, hope you find HIM next fall, if you choose to chase him.

RE: what a find
Has to be from last year's shed....
|
RE: what a find
couple of good knife handles there
|
RE: what a find
Dang buddy, that is a nice shed, and if his other side matches and he has a decent spread, that is gonna be a absolute brute. If my calculations are correct, that shed should be around a 70"-72" shed. Match that up with another side and your looking at 140"-144", add a 18" inside spread and your talking about a 160" buck! Great find!!

RE: what a find
buck, i did the same math and got the same numbers and about pooped myself...thats a hawg 8pt...
if you go by the measurements and comparisions i gave, you can get a good feel of how big it is..ie...G3 is 8 or so inches...so theres about 10" from the G3 to the end of the main beam... the angle was a little awkward so i couldnt even guesstimate the spread of him...but hes a hawg... theres not much doubt in my mind that its from this year...hair simply isnt going to stick on an antler thats been in the weather for a full year...and the color would most likely be gone...just took a chewin from the local rodents quick.. |
RE: what a find
that thing is torn up
