GOOD JOB NATE CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!1

Jee whiz...he's not THAT great a buck. He was 22 inches inside. Scored a wet 147 net after 2 deduction points. Very typical...but no mass. But big bodied.

It was a Nevada buck. No zones. Sorry guys.

I posted it to lighten up the expectations on the "monster buck' in CA. We call this deer a 'dinky' deer. Never expected the congrats...but thanks nontheless.

And yes...I shot him in the but before I gained my composure and sat down to take a clean shot in the boiler room. I ruined some of the rear quarter but it did not hit bone so I think some is salvagable.

[ImThere]

I just had to bump this to the top, given the legit "monster" over here in this thread...

If we believe the as yet unsubstatiated claims in this here thread, I guess the buck in the other thread would be considered on the small side.

I don't think it's the same deer. Trinity said;

Would you believe 35 1/4"### Well,im here to tell ya its so.Great mass,5 x 5 with 1 1/2" eyeguards.so a true 6 x 6.

Doesn't look like the deer CAMULEYCRAZY posted, but detective works is fun.

Right, for sure.. I for one never did. I was just responding to sharpshooters question and imply. I also find a huge difference between 30", 33", and a 35" and timelines involved..Can you believe I have no subscribe to that great magazine being talked about. Field and stream just doesn't cut it..

 

[deerhuntr44]

Man didn't expect this thread to still be alive still. I have not been around for long time. Anyone seen that deer yet ?

 

[Backcountry]

There's been bigger deer posted here, with pictures, since then, so I don't think so.

Oh well, everyone learned a lesson on that one. Probably should send the whole thread to Snopes.com and have them sort it out.

GREAT PIC TRINITY!!!!!!!! glad i spent an 1 hr looking and reading and totally getting hosed! nice one buddy!

 

[83blazer]

I know shoot me for bringing back the dead. Was their ever a picture posted of this deer. I was bored last night and just wanted to see dead deer.

 

[MtKrego]

This one should go to the "classic threads" forum!

 

[Big 17]

I read the whole damn thing, and got to nothing.

According to my moderator tools, TR hasn't been on the forums since Feb. of last year.

I did a quick look online, and couldn't find anything about a 35 1/4" California Buck taken in 2004. So, no luck there.

Anyone got a picture of this deer?

 

[spectr17]

Tommy sent me this pic.

Feel free to chime in Tommy when you see this. This may be the long lost buck.

Here is the deer i shot in California zone D-6 during the general season in 2004 . The rack is 32-1/4" wide and it is a 6x4 nice and tall and heavy horned I dont know what it scores I have never had it measured .The deer looked kind of funny because its body was so small it weighed only 110 lbs field dressed but had a huge rack for its size .

It was with a group of 3 bucks that were togeather , a smaller buck 22-24" , and one other that i saw after i shot this buck they were in a group single file running up a draw one behind the other , the other big bucks rack was about 6" wider but thinner horned but just as tall and it was a perfect 4x4 , I had 2 tags for the zone but shot my buck twice to make sure it was down , which didnt leave enough time for a shot on the other +34-38" buck so im sure it is still out there , probably much bigger this year .
