mighteywhitehunter Report post Posted February 27 I would concur my buck is definitely not the oldest buck in the desert, not the youngest either. That is always the tough part of hunting, I have eaten tag soup waiting for a giant that I never found but I have also had an itchy trigger finger and killed a smaller deer early in the season that I regretted. Life is about choices and when you make them you have to be able to accept the results of those decisions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markleo21377 Report post Posted Sunday at 02:31 PM Here is one of 6 giants we were on in the desert in January. What do you think he scores? I am pretty confident I know based on time we filmed him and I had him chase doe by me at 55 yards but couldn’t stop him. IMG_0508.mov 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed Report post Posted Sunday at 05:44 PM Big enough to shoot for sure! I’ll put him in the mid-high180s without being able to get a good look at him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Report post Posted Monday at 01:03 AM He'd be pushing 190" if his left fronts matched his right side. Love his backs...Beautiful buck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed Report post Posted Monday at 01:19 AM I found this guy a couple of days before the season opened last year. Never found him again. He’s a similar buck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markleo21377 Report post Posted Monday at 02:29 AM Honestly, I think he goes 190” and I know how much it takes to get there. His beams are so long and mass was like beer cans at bases and carried all the way. He even has 3-4” brows!! Crazy that he is that big on a terrible drought year. Hope he makes it and I can find him in December 🤞 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
