I'm a little tired of these hunting shows that show these guys killing all these monster bucks. I have seen some nice bucks over the years but I have never seen a true booner in the wild. What do you guys see? What size buck would you be excited about ending your season on? For me it's 130+

This is the largest wild deer I've ever seen in NC. That includes riding down the road......or on my hunting grounds. I have 2K trailcam photos of the deer in my area.....and nothing larger than him.

A 100" deer is a good deer where I hunt.

I'm with you!
I'd much rather watch some realistic hunting than thesebait plot, private deer farm stuff. Never really learn anything from them, I hope someone starts making videos for the common man. You know get out there and do things on your own type stuff, where it doesn't cost a fortune to shoot a good buck."or I just might!"

125+ for me. They are there, but there are not too many of them where I hunt. In order to kill big mature deer, you have to hunt where they are. In some parts of WV there are some true monsters roaming. The hills are steep and the hollers are long and you could go days and weeks without even seeing a doe.

I hunt in an area where there are loadsof deer, but a nice buck is usually 90-110 inches @ 3.5 years old.

Pope and Young.

Hard work and peristance.

It's possible, anywhere.

Id say 100" deer is good for my area...thats what I like to shoot for when Im bowhunting

With a gun its a whole different story...but heck this is the bowhunting forum

I seen a huge buck about 80 yrds behind me and id bet he would score around 150, but i only seen him for about 10 seconds and i would have shot him buthe went into a thick ceader patch too quick and i havent seen him since. I had a muzzel loader so i could have made the shot too.[:@]

Nice mount gmmat. That deer looks alive!

Watch Hunsucker's show (Heartland)! He does have access to some pretty good hunting ground, and there are a lot of big bucks they see, but its not like hunting a private ranch or anything like that! They've tried to create the "real" hunting show.

Now Bucks of Tecomate is another story...

We're making one for the common man!!!!!! Check out my website below. We are making a turkey DVD this spring, then a deer hunting one in the fall and winter. No guided hunts, just us going out and hunting with a camera behing us.

Sorry if that was too much off-topic.......................
