BIG-Necked Bucks
 

Anybody have some pictures of BIG-NECKED rutting bucks? The biggest I've seen here in Kansas is a 27" neck, unfortunetaly I don't have a picture of him. Here are a couple pictures of some rutting bucks.

I hit this one with my truck, unfortunately I didn't get to measure the neck though, but I'm guessing about 23-24"



And here is my girlfriends buck from this past season with a 24 1/2" neck.

Not sure how big a neck was on this guy but it was a good size.

Here is a 2001 buck w/ a half decent neck.

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

This guy had a decent neck for not being really big in body (215# dressed)



This pumped up rut buck had a huge neck as well as a "thick" body, he dressed 260#



Here's my biggest, rut swollen buck to date, he dressed 265# and had the largest neck I've ever seen on a whitetail!

Alberta buck had a 29 in neck at the top and at the base it was 34 in.

This deer I just measured and at the smallest part of the neck it is 28in and at the base 35 in ... came from Pike Co Illinois.

Fat necks rule

One more of the Alberta buck ..you might can see the neck better

This is a buck my brother-in-law killed this past season in the mountains of Maryland. Not nearly as big as the other bucks on this site, but it's very nice for the area we hunt. You can see that his neck was about as swelled as it could get.

Congrats to all of ya.... some fine trophies displayed, that's for sure! Here's another buck I shot many years ago with the 12 gauge. I "aged" the photo so as not to display the blood around the mouth. He dressed 254# and had a huge neck that everyone was commenting about at the time.

Here's my buck from this year (first bow buck!). Weighed 270 lbs live weight, 25 or 26 behind the ears and I think it measured 35 at the base. (First pic is from the next day and he was field dressed so he looks a little thin)

Here's a little better view.

Our deer up here all have big necks. My 2003 deers neck was 31 inches

nice deer,hugh, wish our all deer were that big down south,we have a few

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

that happened to my buck too when I got my mount back:( he acually had a 16in neck but now the mount has a 14in neck.

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

I have a friend that's a taxidermist and he said that the mounts are usually a little smaller because of a bit of shrinkage during the tanning process....usually about 1" around the neck I think. I'll just have to be sure to shoot one with a hulking neck next time that there won't be any mount shrinkage! LOL

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

Great lookin bucks there fellas!

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

Awesome deer.. my dad had a mount of on that is about 22" now but looked much bigger when in rut and was shot!!

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

Both of my bow killed bucks this year had huge necks. Sorry I did'nt measure them but I have pics :D

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

My BIG necked Alberta deer

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks
 

Awesome pics, very nice deer!! I think thats the difference between a good taxidermist. The good ones take mesurements.

RE: BIG-Necked Bucks

This one was 28"
