2010 Booner

[MattB]

Heres a photo of my 2010 buck. My brother Steve, Dana and myself found this buck Nov. 20th and were able to put him on the ground on the 21st. Having a brother and good hunting partner there to share in the harvest of an awesome typical mule deer was priceless. Definitely beats shooting a big buck 5+ kilometers from your truck and thinking that you cant wait to get back to camp and show them the buck. Having those 2 guys there really made the hunt that much better! As we packed the deer off the hill i had the opportunity to watch that big bull elk Dana has pictures of from new years and i must say that bull is way more impressive in person! He fed less than 100 yards from us right in a wide open cutblock, couldnt believe it!

The buck grosses 195" and nets over 192" right now. Hopefully he nets over 190" after 60 days :wink:.

great looking buck. What region did you get him in ? don't want to know the m.u not looking to still any honey holes.

[MattB]

Region 3 and id guess the buck to be 4.5-5.5. Didnt have a huge body and his teeth were in good shape!

[kennyj]

Awesome buck guys. Love how close together the back tines are. Very tall and even.

[kootenayelkslayer]

You're gonna have to hunt pretty hard next year to top the success that you had this season! Awesome buck again man.

[Orangethunder]

Sweet buck man, nice work catching up to him two days in a row. Pretty cool seeing a big bull at the same time. Sounds like a pretty cool spot with lots of different types of critters.

[spear]

Absolute beauty, love seeing those huge typicals

[frenchbar]

Wicked buck Matt!:cool:

[dana]

Was indeed one amazing day! A day I will never forget. You finally seeing the Big 7 was truly a fitting end to an already awesome day. Was glad I was there to share it with both you and Steve. It seems when you put the 3 of us together, BIG muleys die. :) Congrats once again on a Muley of a Lifetime. Can't wait to get at er again and see what we kill in the 2011 season.

[brno375]

Great buck, well done.

Who says thats the score after it was killed. Maybe its 192" and only 10 days left until it can be oficially scored.

[hunter1947]

I hope that these antlers do make the B&C book it will be close it will be unresting to see after the drying period how much they shrank..

Sheesh!!

I guess you can scratch "Be humble this year" from your new years resolution list.......:mrgreen:

What a buck! should make a great mount. Congrats!

[Islandeer]

You guys Rock!!

Hell of a buck .... glad you killed him! :-D

[GoatGuy]

Didn't think you were ever gonna post that thing.

Heck of a nice deer, congrats.

That was the third or fourth buck seen all season for Dana? :mrgreen::mrgreen:

[hunterlaura]

finally you put pics up Matt!! awesome deer...Steve where are your pics from 2010! ;)

[Rubicon500]

Awesome buck mattchoo!!

[Buck]

Nice Buck congrats.

[dana]

Nope, my Freak buck was the 4th buck I saw all season up till that point. Amazing how a tuff season can turn around in a matter of a few days. I can tell ya that Matt's buck was first true target buck I'd seen since the fall of 2007. That is 3 years of hunting hard and scouting hard with no real gaggers being spotted. I was stoked to finally see a target buck and then Matt had to go kill it the next day.:mrgreen: When we saw that buck the evening before, I knew either Matt or Steve were going to get it on the ground the next day. Sometimes you just have that feeling. Was stoked to be right there when it all went down.

[Gilmore]

Wow, now thats a buck!!! Congrats

One big buck or 300 little ones, what would you rather? :wink:

Its true. Although some of us in camp saw a couple big ones.

2007 - hunt hard in an area that was increasingly getting more big rubs and sign as the week wore on but never saw a big one at all ... the day I left, a few guys from camp went into the bush I was hunting and Dana dropped the eyeguard buck!

Matt and I had our Dads out in 2008 and neither Dad's saw much at all and it wasn't until day 6 or 7 that I finally got onto a cranker after fresh snow and bumped him in his bed amongst blow down and a chase ensued with a few tricks on the bucks part and a few days later Matt had his chance. Driving out we did see a half decent 165-170ish buck.

2009 produced a few distant buck sightings one day but no bonafide crankers .... over did it one day in thigh deep snow on a mountain and strained something that forced me to treestand hunt a couple days .... still saw some bucks and Matt did see a gooder.

2010 Did not go to Clearwater.

Late november racks dont shrink or lose very much at all!

They have been drying since the velvet came off in september!

I didnt notice any loss of measures on my buck, in fact the official scorer came up with a score 1 inch higher than anyone else that had taped it, from the day I killed him!

But Ill cross my fingers for ya anyways! :)

[nano]

Congrats on the great buck guys, Cant Waite to get the official score.

[.308win]

Awesome Buck Matt!! Congrats!!

[cisco]

beautiful - great team work.

[Hunting/addict]

Wow what a great buck...must feel great....congrats.....The feeling of being on such a hunt hasnt left me in 15 years....you will keep reliving it....

[MattB]

Missed the book by 3/8 of an inch! The buck grossed 194 1/8 and net 189 5/8. Oh well, gonna have to try harder next year :-D.

[yama49]

Still impressive as hell, who cares about the book....

[Alpine85]

Thats not really your dream buck anyway right? :razz:

[dana]

Damn that's close! Like I've always said, nets are for fish. Weird how we had the green gross close to an inch and yet we were off on the net. Who was doing the math again? :) Guess 2011 is going to be the year. I think if we have some good growth this summer Booner Jr will make it over that elussive number. ;)

[Jelvis]

Didn't make the minimum but truth is stranger than fiction, so close as close as Dam is to swearing .. close butt no seee garrrrrr next year ...................
A little weak on the spread and tine length failed to earn more points to be a winner and make the Bonez and Crewcutt for typ mules minimum entry score.
It will make the B.C. Book and that is an accomplishment worthy of a Congratulations
Jel ( Just the facts ) Book em Danno .................................................. ...............this season go BOOM!

[Weatherby Fan]

No worries boy's,there's more where that came from,either way that's an awesome deer.Thanks for posting the picture and the score !

[GoatGuy]

You just saved yourself the entry fee which will fill a tank a gas.:wink:

[luckynuts]

Either way you look at it Matt it's a beautiful buck and the best thing is you worked hard for it and with a bunch of your best buds, that right there makes it a trophy in my eyes. Congrats again on a nice Mulie

W.

[pnbrock]

still 29 inches closer than ive gotten,great buck non the less.

[Alpine85]

Matt, is it even worth mounting now though?:mrgreen:

[snareman1234]

Awesome buck man! That thing is certaintly not 3/8 of an inch from being a trophy buck, just from a number in a book.

[dana]

Matt, is it even worth mounting now though?:mrgreen:

Maybe another Euro eh? :twisted::mrgreen::mrgreen:

[mark]

Lets not forget, it was still the biggest typical at lumby!
That shirt you won didnt look like it was gonna fit ya!!!

[porcupine]

Missed the book by 3/8 of an inch! The buck grossed 194 1/8 and net 189 5/8. Oh well, gonna have to try harder next year :-D.

You missed the All time records but the minimum score for their Big Game Awards and accompaning book is 180, and you easily made that.

[BCrams]

Well Bud ... one way to look at it is you're young. Being 3/8ths off is what will fuel the fire in the years to come to take a buck that nets over 190 typical. Irregardless of score, its a fantastic buck and a great hunt to remember and many more to come.

[BiG Boar]

Well enough about this Dink. Just make sure to check the horns before you pull the trigger next year. Stll an ok buck. Jk

[leadpillproductions]

Nice deer congrads .
