Pictures of the biggest buck you've taken
I was just interested to see what kind've deer you guys are taking. It would be nice if you include what the setup was that you used and the scenario in which the deer was taken. Thanks

RE: Pictures of the biggest buck you've taken
I was wearing ASAT insulated bibs and jacket when I was hunting in a white pine using a 01 Hoyt Vortec, set at 68 lbs, ACC's 3-49's with a Rocky Mountain Snyper 100 grain, Bodoodle Pro Lite, 12" Super Stix Stabilizer, Hoyt Micro Elite sight, limb savers....
Second week of Nov 01, rut was on heavy, rutting bucks all over that week, buck came by at 25 yards....he now hangs on my wall, if many of you remember him from that hunt in 01, I know alot of you where here then as was I dispite our 2003 start date...
Took the photo much later in warmer weather when the insulated came off, I'd never hunt with MO as my outside layer.
Note the Cardeer necklace....yup it hangs from my rear view mirror today.
Of course this buck below would have scored better had he not broken his one side, he would have been 130ish with only a 16" spread...he was my 04 bowhunting contest buck.

I've never taken too many pics of any dear. In fact, I can only remember the piebald one I took. I know years ago we took a few pics in our butcher shop, but i have no clue where they would be. Don't worry I know none were that big.

RE: Pictures of the biggest buck you've taken
Took this buck in 1988 with an Oneida bow using Rocky Mtn. 125 grain heads on 2216 Easton shafts. Trebark camo. I knew this buck was around, just could not get him within range of my stands. I took him on December 2nd or 3rd, the day before 2nd firearms season was to begin. I spotted him walking along a fencerow at around 100 yards with nose to the ground. I happened to be walking towards a stand myself so I backed up into brush waiting for him to walk by. I got lucky.
He is 21 1/2" wide inside spread. Gross score was 157 3/8.
W A R N I N G: picture is a very poor example of how to take pictures in the field!!!!
