What size muledeer buck would you shoot in October?

[Brambles]

It would have to be a big bugger for me to shoot it in October or something with a bunch of character.

[pnbrock]

gonna have to be big 4 pointer ,dont give me no greaf deer taste like crap.

[BIGHUNTERFISH]

I like to shoot a nice 2 pointer in October for meat and save a tag for a bigger November buck.

[Brian011]

it would have to be a nice one for sure, i'll probably hold out till november when the rut starts

[hillclimber]

First thing with horns will hit the dirt... besides horns don't taste very good:-?

[mcrae]

If its got balls it falls I will leave the big ones for my buddies LOL...

Of course thats if I am allowed to carry my ammo...

[OutWest]

Gotta be huge.

[bigshooter]

On the island balls falls. (First with bow i hope)
Off island 4 point or better

[mark]

You need one more category....none of the above! :-D

[dana]

I don't plan on killing a deer in Oct. But I do hope my daughter shoots one. And any buck will do. If she does, I guess I won't be shooting one in Nov. either. :)

[nano]

Any bucks a good buck for me because I am still looking to bag my first deer!

[Rattler]

Needs to be a monster or a buck with lots of character...

[peashooter]

First buck gets it. Gotta save gas this year. No not road hunting but driving to my spots.

[killman]

I picked first legal buck, only if I am packing the bow.

[Steeleco]

Normally it's the first legal buck I get a chance at. But as the kids both got one already, I'd like a larger boy. If it's not to be, then I'll take 2 bears and be happy till next spring!!

[Barracuda]

what if you have a have a doe tag :mrgreen:

[Brambles]

Here's hoping your daughter kills a spiker:mrgreen:

[Van-Isle]

Im in university so 4 days off including driving and ferry's is all I get. So come the last day or 2, which means after the first day... big or small its all meat in the freezer.

[GoatGuy]

Thought this was a hunting forum.

Nets are for fish.

This is your year, nano! http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

I'm looking for a MD buck big enough to do 20 lb batches each of pepperoni, smokies, fryers, and garlic coils. Or, I'll shoot a smaller one and supplement it with a WT doe. :mrgreen:

The cut 'n' wrap cow elk already in the freezer will make holding off for a fat deer a bit easier. :wink: October MD are very good eating, IMO.

[Yak]

Gotta shoot the first one I see, then pass on a bunch and shoot another little one in a panic at the end of the year!

[Ltbullken]

Big fat blocky bucks with large dark antlers simply taste better than little runty wannabe maters that barely have any balls! The dominant buck is as my rancher friend said 'on the mend' meaning it is healthy and ready to eat. The young ones aren't ripe yet, literally. After following said rancher's advice, I'll easily pass up on spikers and forkhorns. Good field and caracss care and expert cutting make a huge difference too.

But I'll make an exception for my daughter's first deer!

[Caveman]

I've said it before, "If the freezer is full, my buck will have to be wall worthy". I've put a bull elk in the freezer already so you already know the rest.

[Ride]

Its gotta have character or be a great buck to hit the ground in October. Can't affect my annual november deer hunt to the Kootenays.

[3kills]

i said first legal buck but thats all dependent on where i m. if i m huntin region 8 ya first buck gets it. i like to hold the region 3 tag for a big one lookin for something bigger then 165. unless its gettin close to the end of the season then i will take any legal 4 point. my freezer is gettin low and with not gettin any draws this year i need to fill it with something

[M.Dean]

About 6 inches bigger than the big one I have, but if you punch your tag in October, you have nothing to do in the cold Month of November!

[Paulyman]

You're right! antlers are much tastier :)
First thing with horns will hit the dirt... besides horns don't taste very good:-?

[Wild Images]

Bigger than this :-Dhttp://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/68483.jpg

[rred]

Can't afford to be picky when the freezers as empty as it is.

[dabat]

Empty freezer = first set of antlers go down

[nano]

Thanks FD, from all the scouting I have done I really think this is the year.8 days from now and I'll be in Vernon.

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Pretty sure I won't be shooting any muley buck in October this year.....unless I luck out with a major power failure .....again:neutral:. I wonder what the odds of that are?:rolleyes:

[DEXTER]

Since this will be my first big game animal; the first legal one I see goes down.

[Downwind]

Well I'm not getting much time to get out this year, other than my moose trip and seeing as there is any buck season while I'll be there if it has bone up top he's gonna drop! Second week is 4pt or better so I'll have to hold out for something better then if I don't get anything the first week. I'm really just looking for a filled freezer.

[springpin]

4 point or bigger.

[slicky72]

I got a week straight to snoop around, if you say the antlers don't count at all your lying. I'll be looking for a nice one, but I ain't coming home skunked either . There gots to be meat in thew freezer!

[elkdom]

I will shoot the STINKIEST' mule deer Buck in the immediate area,,,,,,,,,,,:shock:

that way way I'm well assured he is over 180 B&C :wink:

[wolverine]

I said "any 2 pt. or better" but that's because there are so many spikes running around that I think I could always put meat in the freezer. If I had nothing and my hunting time was running out.... anything legal gets dumped.

[steelheadSABO]

When i see a deer with sticks in it's head I just open up like rambo on it

[#1fishslayer]

I hope to hold out for a larger rack.

Shoot a bear if all you're going to do is turn it into sausage.

Definitely heading into your 'secret region 3' wt spot to pound does.

Anytail and I pounded that all day yesterday - didn't even see a MD doe over there. Did let a shooter b'ar walk though. And let a "definite shooter" b'ar walk later in the day closer to home. Maybe next time. :wink:

I headed over to Reg 3 friday eve on the TW. Saw squat and never even heard a gunshot. Thought there would be more action for first day of any muley buck season:?.

Got bored and got one bull to talk to me....but didn't see him.

[BIGHUNTERFISH]

I am just wondering if any guys have shot the bucks they were looking for.I have had a few chances for some meat bucks but havent pulled the trigger yet, maybe tommorow in region 8.:-D

[kishman]

'Bout this size......:mrgreen:
