Mule Deer Fanatic

This guy is a brother of a friend. He has killed a lot of BIG Mule Deer. I am truly envious.

Does this Mexico buck look like a new World Record?

Jason Gisi’s buck IS the current SCI World’s Record at 221 3/8 for Desert Mule Deer.  I got to hold it in my hands when my Dad officially measured it for SCI.  The pictures don’t do the buck justice – it’s freaky big in person.  Chad Smith of Vaquero Outfitters was his guide.

Here they are:

Kyle Lopez, 14, of Divide, Colorado – killed this buck during the 2007 season:

He tagged a trophy buck that, according to reports, has scored more than 303 inches net Boone and Crockett and will be the largest buck ever taken by a youth as well as the largest mule deer taken in more than 20 years. The buck has 41 points and a 37 2/8 inch outside spread. The main frame alone is more than 207 inches with more than 100 inches of nontypical points.

Hunter bags huge Muley in Atlanta, Georgia. How could this be?

Even girls can kill mule deer. This one almost looks like a whitetail with the short ears and all.

Congratulations Barry Girten on that Big Illinois Mule Deer

These photos were emailed to me. This is reportedly a Wyoming buck. Maybe Idaho.

 Mr. Mike Haviland, “Tater”, of Missouri, got his deer mixed up. Congrats anyway, Mike.

Kit Maxfield, a Hunting Sports Plus Member and his big Kansas Buck for 2006

Here is his story:

I left the HSP office on Thursday night after work in the middle of the big snow storm for the opening weekend of the KS 06′ deer rifle season. After a long white knuckle drive out to North Western Kansas I arrived at my motel which was only about 8 miles from the farm that I had reserved.

Each day I saw a ton of Mulies (30-40), and was trying to locate a trophy buck to put a stalk on. I had seen plenty of bucks each day, almost pulled the trigger on a few. I had held out until the third night of my hunt (had to get back to work), when I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. One after another Mulies were appearing out of what seemed to be nothing. That evening I had been watching an absolute monster for about a half an hour, when two others stepped out. They meandered about in the alfalfa and the second largest of the group broke off from the main herd to tend a small group of does that were headed East of my location. The small group of does walked up and over a hill right in front of me, and the buck followed suit. Once this buck crested the hill it was the first time in the trip that I had a real opportunity to close the distance between myself and a shooter buck.

Do I wait for the biggest buck of the group to come closer when I only had about a half an hour of legal shooting hours, or do I leave all of my gear behind and make it happen with the buck that just went over the hill. In my head these thoughts were racing, then all I could think was “GOGOGOGOGOGO”. I left my gear behind and made a b-line to a point where I thought I could get a shot off. As I approached the apex of the hill I could not see any deer, and then as the buck lifted his head, all I saw was bone. The buck in the picture was the second largest of the three trophy animals that I saw that evening. The largest is still running around, and at least survived the opening weekend of the season.
