Big Ones (photos)

[Big Fin]

This one officially grosses well over 400" and nets enough to make the all-time. Congrats to the bull for being such a remarkable specimen. I will never replicate this lucky day.

The story and photo of that hunt are truly fantastic. Happy Holidays!

Biggest mallard

12g 11/87, public marsh in WI during Packer game a few years ago. Always go out when the Pack is playing at noon, marsh to ourselves and the ducks can take as many swings as they need to before dropping in.

Biggest king. Door County WI on a charter. Weapons used: silver flasher/green fly and several Silver Bullets.

Biggest mule deer (I’m ashamed to even post this deer on this site with so many guys shooting big ones!).
Crappy WY weather, snowy/wet and lived out of our packs and tents. My attitude was slipping until this day, I made up my mind I was shooting a deer that day or collapse from exhaustion, whichever came first.

Luckily the deer came first, the exhaustion part followed after packing it solo back to camp a few miles through gumbo. A very fond memory of hanging in there and getting it done. Also was the first deer I broke down solo via the gutless method, I had always had help before. A cool memory for sure.

My son's mtn goat from this year, and his best Montana pronghorn.

from this fall, not my biggest - but the antelope has the longest prongs of any I've taken. Will know on Saturday the official measurement, but I suspect 7". I suspect the elk was the biggest I'd seen in western MT, but not this year - several seasons ago. Not sure he's the same one, but of the 3 of us that saw him in 2015, we all think there's a good chance he's the same elk, just way older and on the decline.

My best and only mule deer so far. October 2011 Unit 22 in Wyoming. Shot it at 180 yards with 180 grain Core Lokt from a .30-06. I was 20 years old. First trip out west from North Carolina.

Utah, 89". Probably the biggest buck I've ever personally seen and will ever have the chance to hunt.

On 11-2-2013 I killed my biggest whitetail by far, in this area he was truly the deer of a lifetime. 176 gross, 161 net. He’s been bumped down a few notches but he is still listed as #10 All-time Archery whitetail in the state of Louisiana.
