Massive buck...

[WNY Bowhunter]

I heard that the local processor had a nice one dropped off this morning. Decided to drive over and check him out. I wasn't disappointed when I pulled into the drive and saw this big dude laying there...

Really white antlers...very little beading on the bases as well. Game farm buck maybe...lol???!!! The guys who dropped it off said that there were 2 or 3 more like this one running around the property too...

As far as I know, the one in my avatar is still out there. Just need some cold weather for him to come out of the anti-hunter neighbor's block of woods and in to the cloverfield where I've been hunting during daylight hours.

150's? It is odd how light colored the antlers are as someone else pointed out and the is so little beading at the bases. Usually such homogenous light colored antlers only come from one place- but I like to give the benefit of the doubt. Heckuva deer too. Heavy, symetrical, character...

I'm certain that is a wild, free-ranging NY deer. The game farm comment that I made earlier was intended to be a joke. I've seen antlers of the color with lack of beading before, just not a set this big.

That is huge, love it! Can't wait to get out again this weekend!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Thats a nice one!

[growalot]

Have they aged him yet...that is a beautiful buck....looks like the heart attack buck ...minus the stickers and he's a tad wider than this one....hoping he's still out there....

[DEADDEER1]

nice deer antlers looked sun bleeched id say low 140's inch range def not in the 150s

definitley a shooter seeing bucks taken like this makes me want to get my gear back out.

I think I would have brought a chair and remained there at the processors until he was caped out and put in nice white packages. I don't think I could take my eyes off him until then! LOL!

[nyantler]

I'm wondering why the buck was at the butchers... you can't eat those horns... so no need to get the deer butchered..

[New York Hillbilly]

nyantler..............you have to get them butchered even if you can't eat the horns.......it's to tough to hang the whole thing on the living room wall and after a while they start to stink.

[the blur]

Ins't it kinda warm out to let them sit there???

[nyantler]

Damn hunters that shoot those big antlered bucks... what a waste of meat... don't they realize that only does and small antlered bucks have meat... that seems to be what we hear from the meat hunters... oh yeah.. great buck by the way!!

[Kevin]

I'd still be in the woods paniced and shocked...

GOD bless thats a great deer. A life time worth hunting.

I think he's every bit of 150...long G1's, 2's, 3's, heavy mass and very symmetrical. Kinda short of his G4's but who cares!!! As is usually the case, a few pics. doesn't do him justice. Actually, just stopped by to throw the tape on him and the head is already as the taxidermist.

[RifleSharpShot]

Thats a nice deer!

Wow. How in the hell did meat hunters get interjected into this conversation? I would venture to guess that most, if not all, meat hunters would be thrilled with this buck. Why the constant jabs on these forums?

[WNY Bowhunter]

nyantler is just being sarcastic...
