Mass'N'Trash 2008

[tooley]

Connected on a buck today even Dana will be proud of. Just to tease you guys it has 11 points per side and mass that made me think I was looking at a small bull moose. Story and pics as soon as I get them off of my buddy's camera.

[MIL720]

U Suuuuuuuuuuuck.....you must post pics !!!!

[dana]

Tooley,
Sounds like a Whopper. Congrats to ya! With how tuff the late season conditions are, it's nice to here some are having success.

[BlacktailStalker]

Sounds impressive.
You'll likely be lynched for this.

[Brambles]

can't wait to see some pics of him, congrats.

[Tikka7mm]

Sounds like a cranker....Can hardly wait to see the pics of this bruiser!

[WoodOx]

wow - congrats, cant wait!

[Orangethunder]

Sounds like a good one. I cant wait to see the pics. Seems like despite the warm conditions some folks are having some luck. Some folks not being OT...:-?

[mark]

Huge congrads Tooley!!!! Does he match any sheds youve ever found???
Can ya give us any more details???
Ballpark score???
Im guessing a reg. 3 buck as 8 is closed, that is of course assuming that its a muley?????

[tooley]

Yeah sorry it is a mulie, and it is a region three buck. I was hunting in an area where there are some good deer but I only hunt this area once or twice a year. As for sheds, I wouldn't even know where to start looking for sheds from these deer.

[jml11]

Wow, saw the photo, cool rack. I wonder how the heck you would score that though....

[WoodOx]

wow no kidding - someone with more experience than me would have to say how to score that thing. its literally got moose horns!

[tooley]

Ok guys I've kept you waiting long enough! After a couple of walks in the pouring rain at first light this morning my buddy and I decided to wimp out and road hunt. It's a good thing I read the forum on road hunting because it sure payed-off. First I spotted a doe approx. 100 yrds out in and old cutblock. We bailed out I walked up the road and my buddy down the road hoping to get a better veiw of the doe and hopefully of any other deer. After a few buck grunts she slowly started walking away and up out from another patch of trees he followed in hot pursuit. I only caught a small glimpse of his right side but that was all that I needed to see. Upon approaching the area the deer were standing when I had shot, I found a couple spots of blood but no deer. I slowly tracked them through the old cutblock and within 50 yrds I had caught up. There he was standing at 20yrds with his nose right up the does a..... BANG! Unfortunatly all I had was a neck shot and wrecked the cape. Here is one pic to keep you all interested, I will post the field pics as soon as I have them.

http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/medium/GetAttachment2.jpg (http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/showphoto.php?photo=11376&size=big&cat=500)

[bruin]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! His 3rd circumference is going to be like 35"! How do you think his dad got up high enough to bone a moose? Great buck, once in a thousand lifetimes. Way to go.

[tooley]

If anyone knows how to score this thing let me know.

[Krico]

That is a freak of nature!!! Wow!!!

Wicked buck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[daycort]

That is one great buck. Congrats, can't wait for field pics.

[tinhorse]

Man that is Awesome! you don't see deer like that very often if ever at all. Congratulations.

[jessbennett]

that buck is truly amazing. if that dont have "character" i dunno what will!!!!:-P

congratulations.

[Bighorn hunter]

That thing is a pig. Unfortunately he probably wont score that well becouse of the huge difference in mass from one side to the other. This is the unfairness of the b&c non typ scoring system IMO

[Blktail]

Tooley

To score that sucker, you add his main beams and inside spread and multiply by a kazzilion!

Wow what a buck! Don't worry about the cape. A good taxidermist can fix anything!

[BlacktailStalker]

Wow, nice buck, congrats ! :shock:

[Dirty]

Where is Tinney. That is a new kind of Moose Muley hybrid. Wicked buck, congrats on a trophy of a lifetime.

[tooley]

I agree I always judge a deer by the gross score, nets are for fisherman.

[bruin]

Soooooooo......gonna get him mounted??;-)

[Rattler]

Wow, that is one hell of a buck!! I have never seen a buck with mass like that....

[dana]

WOW! That is some serious palmation. Looks like he's got MassNTrash beat hands down on that one side. The H3 and H4 on that side gotta be in the 9 or 10 range eh? Who cares about tine length. Mass like that has some serious Wall Appeal. Congrats big time!

[Brambles]

HOLY SHIT.

Bullwinkle must have been his dad, that is some serious moose genetics going on right there.

Really curious to see some more pictures of that brute, what a freak.

Nice Job

[tooley]

WOW! That is some serious palmation. Looks like he's got MassNTrash beat hands down on that one side. The H3 and H4 on that side gotta be in the 9 or 10 range eh? Who cares about tine length. Mass like that has some serious Wall Appeal. Congrats big time!

Thanks Dana Sorry to copy your thread name but that's all I could think about when I shot this guy. H3 and H4 is around 11 inches. And yes, he will look good on my wall!

[dana]

11 inches is pretty damn impressive. Not too many bucks out there that can boast of 22 inches of mass with just 2 mass measurements.

[tooley]

Dana, How old of a buck was mass'n'trash. I've shot 2 points with bigger bodies than this guy. His feet and teeth also indicated that he was a young deer.

[Caveman]

What a Wild Rack, congrats on a great, unique buck, Tooley

[gameslayer]

unbelievably awesome Buck Tooley Way to go, You must have S--- your pants :eek: when you walked up on that. you should make some Magazines with that freak of nature hopfully somone off this site will hook you up on how to do it.

[3kills]

that thing is nuts

[Buckmeister]

x2 on the magazine thing. I want to see that buck on some glossy magazine print. Way to go Tooley

[Mr. Dean]

I'd kick that deer to the curb... He's one ugly mother. :razz:


C'grats!

[Shed Hunter]

I new you would post that pic I sent you. NICE BUCK YOU GOT THERE. Now I am of to get his dad.

[.308 NORMA]

Nice buck tooley, I will be looking at it personally

[sawmill]

that is godamn amazing!I`v never seen anything even close to that.I wish I`d been there when you walked up to it.!

[kennyj]

What a bruiser! Looking forward to some more photos.
kenny

[M.Dean]

"The Tooley Buck!" Has a ring to it! Congrats!

[trailhunter]

that palm is bigger than my last moose i shot...........i bet your heart was skipping beats

[mcrae]

That's the coolest looking buck I have seen in a long time!!!

[Bigbuckadams]

One word WOW !!! And congrats, guess that's two words :)

[Bighorn hunter]

I agree I always judge a deer by the gross score, nets are for fisherman.


Ha Ha, I like that , and agree

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Usually bucks like that take one to the antler.

Good work keeping it all together.:cool:

That is a buck of legendary proportions!

Congrats!

Score smore on that one....even gross. Character like that can't be matched!

SSS

[Jetboater]

Freakin awesome buck......

[BiG Boar]

And they shun Road hunting! Its storys like this that keep getting me into my truck each cold and wet morning! Good work. Apparently Road hunting does pay off! What a buck! The "Tooley Road Buck" of 08 has a nice ring to it!

[Elkhound]

what a buck....cant wait for more pics

[WoodOx]

Just a crank!

Id like to say, for the benefit of tooley, dont post anymore pics ( I dont think ) at this time if your seriously contemplating publishing the buck. I might be wrong but I do recall reading that most mags will be less enthused if its already circulated all over email.

Then again - id sur elove to see more pics as would everyone else here!

[open-sights]

Soooooooo......gonna get him mounted??;-)

Holly shit did that make me laugh!!!!
Very nice buck, very very nice! Should be a doorprize for something like that 1

[Kody94]

Unbelievable buck. Congrats!!

4Ster

[308BAR]

Congrats!!! Buck of a lifetime.

[boxhitch]

What a freakin deer. And you figure he's young too ?
Maybe an outcome of the Pine Beetle Lunarscape up westside.
check for blue fungus.

[Gateholio]

Incredible buck, hopefully the palmations will show up in his offspring!:smile:

[Wild one]

I have nothing to say but Wow

[goatdancer]

That's either a doose or a meer.......

[KevinB]

Wowza! I think a new scoring system is in order...like volume in cubic inches or something. The word mass doesn't really describe what that buck has. Congrats!

[bckev]

Nice one tooley. I was looking at the pics shed hunter sent me. What kind of shape was his liver in. He looks awful scrawny all of his food must have gone to his antlers. I think I will have to hook you in to help guide me next fall, between you your dad and your uncles I am expecting something incredible, no pressure.

[Iron-Head]

I guess a water displacement scoring system would come in handy.. Wicked buck!

[Dannybuoy]

WOW ! I haven't seen anything even close to that buck .... Nice ! ugly but Nice !

[steepNdeep]

WOW!!! That thing doesn't even look real... MULOOOSE ?? MOOLEY?? His poor mama. :eek: ;) Awesome!

The buck in your avatar looks NICE, too. Got any more pics of your bucks. Always nice when a good hunter that has put in the time and miles hammers a great buck instead of some road hunter that just lucks out...

Like Dana or not ;) the GREAT thing about Dana's MassNtrash was his history with the buck... season after season, sheds, shots... it was a SAGA and he definitely earned every inch of that buck... :cool:

[Veener5.0]

That _____ deer is absolutley outstanding - whatever ya wanna call it. Congrats.

[tooley]

I'll take you out anytime Kev. But in my opinion its all about karma. You keep doing the right things and the hunting gods will reward you. Its all about luck, the only skill involved is putting yourself in areas where there are big deer and keeping your eyes open.

Congratulations!

[WoodOx]

Wow - good eye and good point!

You mean there might be some truth to the hybrid theory ? mooslie Muloose :wink:

[humble hunter]

Hands down the best buck of the year so far. Although I am not finished yet! We need more pics!!

[hunter1947]

I have never seen a Palm antler as big as this mule deer ,it will be something to get in a life time ,It looks like he might have been into the water to many times ???.

Very nice animal with antlers from out of this world ,congrats.

[guest]

WoW !!!!

Congrats to you on this once in a life time buck !

Never seen one quite like it, wish it were mine.
thanks for sharing.
C/T

[6616]

Unbelieveable, need mre pics ASAP.

Wouldn't want to have to make some of the scoring decisions.

[dana]

Dana, How old of a buck was mass'n'trash. I've shot 2 points with bigger bodies than this guy. His feet and teeth also indicated that he was a young deer.

I never got MnT aged but I believe I had a good idea of how old he was because I personally watched him grow old. I believe he was 9 when I killed him. He too was small when I killed him. I too have shot 2 points with bigger bodies. But I believe his old age and the fact he was walking wounded for the 3 1/2 previous weeks had a lot to do with his lack of body mass. The video footage I have of him from 2 years previous he was an absolute Tank, easily in that 250+ lbs range. That also was his best antler scoring year. The next year he lost 20 inches of tine length.

[dana]

Just a crank!

Id like to say, for the benefit of tooley, dont post anymore pics ( I dont think ) at this time if your seriously contemplating publishing the buck. I might be wrong but I do recall reading that most mags will be less enthused if its already circulated all over email.

Then again - id sur elove to see more pics as would everyone else here!


Some mags like to be first out of the gate on a monster buck but they aren't going to turn down a story if the buck is big enough. I've had my pics and stories in Muley Crazy for the last 4 years straight and I didn't keep my pics off the internet. What mags are looking for is top quality pics. Pics of bucks with the tongue hanging out in the back of a pickup truck bed with the hunter stradled over the buck as he smokes on a cig ain't the most desirable pics to print in a glossy mag. ;)

[bruin]

A word to the wise, I sent an article around about a sheep hunt and there were few magazines that would take low resolution digital pictures for the stories. It limited who I could get it published by.

[MIL720]

sweet buck...thats awsome...

[ThinAir]

Wow! That is an unbelievable buck! I first thought - photo shop , when I saw the pic!
What a beauty.

[1899]

Do you think he somehow injured that antler when he was in velvet? I mean early in the antler's developement? It is a very impressive looking buck.

[ianwuzhere]

best lookin "mass and trash" out there- just crazy!! thanx for postin pic- we need more pix to drool at ...

[mrdoog]

I'm not a fan of the non-typicals; I appreciate a big natural rack.
Dude yours is the exception! Hats off to ya! That's a super freak.
You really have to lay claim to him though, change the name.

[Allen50]

intresting,, hummm very intresting,,, do you have a buckiemoose tag for this one,, now thats a shooter,, and may even be a wall hanger,,,,, "for sure" it is,,,, nice... can't wait to see more pic.

[Timbow]

:shock:...congradulations, that's one unique buck you have. Thanks for sharing.

[Blainer]

I think we found our winner in the big game contest.
WOW!!

[dukester]

Even Garry Donald with BIG BUCK Mag will travel to BC to see that.. WOW.. Thats a hog :shock:

[300H&H]

Congrats.

Looking at your info page as to you location it says..."on a stump waiting for the big one".
Looks like you waited long enough on that stump.
Where is the next stump your going to sit on or will it be a log this time ?

[bckev]

I have been trying to follow in shed hunters foot steps but his feet are so small, that I figure if tooley follows shed hunter, and then is followed by mowitch slayer then the footprints should be about the right size for me to follow.

[whitetailsheds]

Congrats Tooley, that really is a "buck of a lifetime"!

[MattB]

Wicked buck tooley! That is the deer of a lifetime, definetely unique and much like the Dewdney buck!

[Will]

Nice ! Gotta Love the Freakie ones..... !
Helluva Buck ! :cool:

[ElectricDyck]

WTF! OMG! BBQ! Wow!

[tooley]

Hey guys, judging by the 7200 veiws this thread has recieved, I know you are all waiting. My buddy is a buisy guy and he promised he would send the pics out tomorrow. It's driving me crazy too I havn't seen the either.

[bruin]

Yeah but you get to look at the deer in your garage! Looking forward to seeing them

[Steeleco]

Crapolla, that's one freak of a deer. Well done.

[mark]

Truly amazing buck! As I recall there is a palmated buck like that in Rick Bereths Books, "trophy deer of BC" If I remember right it was an Okanagan deer from a long time ago!

[tooley]

Yeah but you get to look at the deer in your garage! Looking forward to seeing them

Yeah I go check on them every couple of hours, for some reason my wife had a problem with them under my pillow last night!

[tooley]

Truly amazing buck! As I recall there is a palmated buck like that in Rick Bereths Books, "trophy deer of BC" If I remember right it was an Okanagan deer from a long time ago!

I'd like to see pics of that one!

[300H&H]

I'd like to see pics of that one!

Look in Trophy Deer Of BC 1991
Page 107
Net score of 230 7/8"

Also look on page 89 for BC's biggest NT mulie taken back in the early 1900's
Score 313 1/8"

[BiG Boar]

Its TOMOROW!!!! I have been up since 5 am waiting.....Come on already!!!! MORE PICTURES NOW!!!!

[mijinkal]

I can claim my name for a couple dozen of the 7200 views. I've been patiently waiting . . . As bigbore14 said "It's TOMORROW!!!!" so where's the pics!!??

[tooley]

I know I know, I check my e-mail every hour. I think he's getting a kick out of torturing us.

[mijinkal]

I think you should change your location on your profile. You found the big one!!
now, where's the damn pics! ? ! ? ! !

[tooley]

I can't believe it. I'm going to give the HBC community my buddy's address and you guys can lynch him up. I've phoned him every day for the past week and he says he will do it but.....still waiting!!!

[tooley]

I just phoned my buddy again. He sent the photos yesterday like he promised but it obviously didn't work. He is bringing his camera to my house tonite. Cross your fingers!

[bruin]

They're waiting!

[bckev]

I have seen a bunch of the pics pretty impressive. Really begs the question about the quality of meat when you get a muley crossing with a moose like this one obviously is. :-)

[BCrams]

Just waiting for PGKris to acknowledge the existence of muley / moose hybrids. Kind of like the fields of whitetail / muley hybrids :-)

Couldn't resist!!

Awsome buck!

[rockdog]

Hearty congrats, that is a an outstanding muley with all the character you could hope for!

[tooley]

Ok guys they are finally here, I am going to start a new thread. At the time I thought Mass'n'Trash was a catagory not a name so we will call him the Tooley buck.

[BiG Boar]

I vote the "Tooley Road buck" just to rub it into all the walkers out there.
