My 2011 bucket list muley

[mark]

As many people have often mentioned here, the 2011 muley season has been pretty slow, bucks sightings were low for me, big buck sightings almost nil.
I stayed hard at it, burned the boot leather for 2 weeks straight. Time in the woods and patience paid off, when I looked up at a doe on a ridge, another doe, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe, :shock: hello....
I actually put my rifle down, pulled the binos to make sure I wasnt seeing things.... typical mainframe, 5" past the ears on both sides with lots of mass......Hmmmm...


http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/2011_muley_020_Small_.jpg
While I knew before I pulled the trigger that this buck wouldnt score well, a buck over 30" wide has been on my bucket list my whole life!
My eyes have seen thousands of muley bucks, but maybe only a couple truly over 30 wide and they managed to evade me....I figured it was time to tick this off my to-do list.
I had just enough cell service to get a text out to a buddy I knew was a couple hours away, (garmin rhino on, come find me) I boned him out, and buddy showed up just before dark, after a little skiff of snow.
113 lbs of meat and a 17 lb head, it was sure nice to split the load for the long nasty grind down an alder laced ravine, in the dark!
And he took this cool pic too!

[Gilmore]

Nice buck. Lets see its tail.

[GRIZZEZE]

score means absolutely nothing. if the animal is impressive to you, then take him

congrats on a very cool looking buck. The wide ones always look more impressive

[moose2]

Great looking buck Mark he looks really good. Is he going on the wall I couldn't see if he had a cape behind him on the freezer picture. Congratulations on filling your goal of a 30" er.
Mike

[Blainer]

Good looking buck in my books.
You consistantly exhibit the dedication and patience needed to hammer the big bucks,year after year.
my hat's off to you.

[6 K]

Wouldn't score well????

WHO CARES!

I would not have even bothered with the binos, just kill that thing!

Congrats on a dandy

[Gunner]

That's a character buck,who cares what it scores...Congrats! Gunner

[Whonnock Boy]

That there is a great buck for a bucket list. Good on ya! Love the mass. Good things come to those that work for it, and I have no doubts you did.

[fuzzybiscuit]

Very few people deserve a buck of that calibre. Congrats, as you are one of the few. My hat is off to you.

[LeverActionJunkie]

There are a few people on this site who's posts I look forward to all fall and yours is always one of them. Too bad this group always seems to make me wait until the last part of Nov to see some Hogs drop :) Congratulations on a dandy buck once again! You are definitely a dedicated hunter. Thanks for sharing.

[Rattler]

Wow, what an amazing buck Mark! That is a buck of a lifetime in my books.

Congrats, sounds like hard work and determination paid off for you...

[Dirty Steve]

Damn, nice buck ? Looks like hard work and dedication pays off hey?
If only I had patience and a work week that was less than 70 hrs!
Congrats buddy, somethin like that's on my bucket list too.

[BCrams]

Score schmore ... very few will ever shoot a typical buck ~30" wide in their lifetime. As long as one is happy with the decision to shoot!! Congratulations.

[Brambles]

Way to go Mark, I was wondering when this was gonna get posted up. Hell of a buck, reading your last sentence I can't imagine why anyone would post anything negative up, must be some real A-Holes out there I guess. Anywho, I'm green with envy, but glad when someone who puts in the time and effort makes good and gets it done.

Also good to see the ol girl shot straight and got er did. How far was the shot?

[krazy]

Holy $hit ... gorgeous buck Mark!!!Congrats!

"To the very few on here that will have negative sh!t to say or PM me. G.F.Y. Ive heard it all before! :smile: "

... anybody with anything negative to say about this buck's got rocks in their heads!

[Sitkaspruce]

Sweet buck Mark!!!

Congrats on nocking this one off your bucket list!!!

Now what is next on your bucket list?????

Cheers

[~T-BONE~]

She's not as pretty as you remember, as shes been on many, many rough adventures since I adopted her! :twisted:

[Gateholio]

Great buck!

Reading some other threads I thought there weren't any big mule deer in BC! :)

That must have felt good packing him out! :)

[steepNdeep]

Awesome Mark!! If anyone deserves that buck, it's you. Congrats. http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6107/6286521134_4afe2c4700_t.jpghttp://farm7.staticflickr.com/6107/6286521134_4afe2c4700_t.jpghttp://farm7.staticflickr.com/6107/6286521134_4afe2c4700_t.jpg

[uraarchr]

Wow Mark that is a nice deer.It'd be an endless search to find a bucket for that thing.That's huge!

[Buckmeister]

Don't know why anyone would have anything negative to say about that....congrats on scratching off an item on ur bucket list!!! Very nice Buck Mark!

[patdel]

That is one Awesome deer Mark! I haven't seen anything that wide with that much mass around here. And that really is a cool shot of you packing him out. Way ta go, you've done it again! So whats the widest spread on him, looks to be darn close to the width of your freezer?

[Fisher-Dude]

Thanks for showin' those region 4 boys that despite decades of any buck season, there are lots of hawgs available to the guys who hunt 'em! :wink:

Congrats on gettin' 'er done on a great buck! :D

[coach]

Phenomenal buck, Mark! Like so many others here, I've been waiting or this post and have definitely not been disappointed. Can't wait to see what you pull out of region 3. Thanks for inspiring all of us.

[cainer]

Beauty buck mark... You're consistent that's for sure. I always expect to see a monster rack posted up in your threads and you don't disappoint!

[bruin]

Seeing a buck like that standing on a ridge would be enough to make your heart stop. Way to go.

who the heck would say anything negative about that buck..if there is negative comments ,its probably cuz youve said negative comments in the past .that would be the only reasonable theory i can think of

[ianwuzhere]

30"er- Wow-hard to find....
Congrats!
Question is- now wuz on the list??

[grizzlydueck]

Well done brother ! Keep up the hard work ! Sometimes it sure does pay in the end ...and what a feeling !

[ianwuzhere]

like -that was gonna be my 2014 booner? etc, hehe... ;)

[JDR]

I'm impresssed, congratulations on a great looking buck, Mark! I completelely concur about this season being slow, fewer bucks seen compared to prior years and nil for biggies.

[spear]

Lifetime buck for sure, good work. Hope he passed on some genetics.

[Looking_4_Jerky]

This thread is no good without some hacking.

Wow, Mark, you could have given that scrawny doe-buck another year to grow some gear. Oh, and GFY2.

Ps. good work on the truly stomper buck!

[hunter1947]

Wow I missed this thread as for so many more when I was in the wild ,that set of antlers is as good as you can get in your area many hunters never come close to getting one like this in a life time I hope you are getting a head mount on this fantastic buck you got ???? and if you do get a head mount will be nice to see the final results when you get it back from the Taxidermy.

Like you said you put many miles on the hills to find a buck as of this one and it finally all came together for you good on you Mark for sticking with it and getting rewarded for your hard work ,congrats on taking this fantastic MD buck http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon14.png.

[The Dude]

:shock: :shock: :shock: Mark, Dadgummit, ya dun it agin! Awesome buck Dude, really nice. (Looks like you didn't cape it, what gives?)
Man, I hunted my usual area for 3 weeks, and the biggest i saw was a 150-ish.......but I had to leave b4 the rut.
Well next year again........:mrgreen:

[doubled]

Beauty MD Mark. I was wondering when you were going to post some ridiculous hog of a deer. Very consistant year in and year out. You could drive a bus throug that rack.

[pnbrock]

Sweet buck, not going on the wall ? Capes a little short !!

NICE BUCK

[Darksith]

[Walksalot]

[bcbrez]

Good job and great buck.

[ncurrie]

[Hunting/addict]

Great buck...love the mass and character....passed up a few in the low 170s this year but nothing like that....wow!

Cheers

SS

Back when I was 20 I told people I wanted a buck over 30" wide, a boone typical, and a boone non-typ.....people laughed at me....2 out of 3 down! 1 left to go!


so you're purely a trophy hunter, eh?



Where did you get that idea?????


30"er- Wow-hard to find....
Congrats!
Question is- now wuz on the list??

As mentioned above, Boone non-typ.......one day!


Was BSing with Brambles when you sent him the pics, wondered when you would come out of the closet with the story !
Sweet buck, not going on the wall ? Capes a little short !!

NICE BUCK

I was hoping you could stretch it a bit, or maybe do an up to the ears mount......:lol:
Ive got too much fur on the wall already, Ive got a neat idea for a euro style mount Im doing!!!!


That is one nice buck. It might be a good idea to put some flagging tape on the antlers for the pack out.

It was pretty much dark when we got moving, buddy was right behind me whole time.


great buck! what is the total width then, must be like 36"? nice character, mass and symmetry too.

31" wide, 38" mass


You didn't misss this thread. Mark posted this last night. It seems tro be a popular thread...and for good reason!

Congrats Mark!! Must be nice to see a buck like this where you don't need to scrutinize him too closely.

Any sheds off this buck??

SSS

Actually I thought we had his sheds from last year when I pulled the trigger, but it wasnt a match, similar buck though.


Good work ! woulda bin wicked to see that sceen on video!

You got that right, 8 does and this wide racked beast skylined against blue sky on a ridgetop! It looked like a page from a kings calendar, I do wish I had a picture as it was an awesome sight!


........................and I was waiting with baited breath for a year that Mark finally didn't get himself a cranker.
Damn good job Mark. Maybe next year......... :)

Youve been here a while, remember back to 2008 I didnt cut a muley tag......was the only year of my life that I didnt!
Felt like blue balls, without a remedy......:|

[shed-hunter1]

if he was skylined would of been awsome to see nice buck

[yugo111]

that a sweet buck buddy nice one wow

[sniper ren]

Awsome buck!

[Phil]

Outstanding buck! Congratulations on an achievement of a lifetime. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the mount when it is done.

[thetackdriver]

[troutseeker]

[Gateholio]

[Gilmore]

[Gunner Staal]

Looks just like a buck I could not get close enough during archery last fall.

I was thinkin the same thing Trouty......I think we make have spoken about that fella lol!

[Weatherby Fan]

awesome muley hope to run into one of those next year.

I'm thinking I would like to run into one this year,never mind next year :mrgreen:

[Orangethunder]

Great deer Mark, thanks for sharing. Its amazing how things can turn around so quickly eh? Or in my case just how slowly they seem to turn around!

Cheers

[showtimebc]

wowzers that guy has a huge spread!!! Congrads on beauty buck!

[Caribou_lou]

What a Stud! Congrats

[BigfishCanada]

Mark, every year you amaze me.

Awesome looking deer,

You should negotiate a deal with a taxidermy where you buy say a card for 5 mounts, where you get a discount. Kinda like me buying a "Skate Card" for my kid, you know where you get 10 sharpens for a reduced rate? Every year you get a trophy!!!!

Good work again!

[REMINGTON JIM]

A absolute BEAUTY ! Congrats to you-all your hard hunting paid off ! :mrgreen:

[cariboobill]

Mark:

What a great memory this hunt and giant will have for years. I have to get down to areas where the bucks grow wide. I guess that is why you left here and moved there haha. Again Good on ya Man.

Bill, most of my big bucks all come from 100 mile area, including my biggest by far!

If I still lived there, Id still be shooting them there too.

A guy I know from 100 mile, who has recently signed onto HBC, has 3 bucks over 30" wide.

If you want my opinion, deer hunting is way easier up there, its certainly not easy here!

[Davey Crockett]

Congratulations on a beautiful looking buck. I would be very proud of that one and it sounds like you deserve it by the time you put in.

[ghost]

well done it is a awesome buck.

[trigger]

wow, awesome buck mark. congrats

[Manglinmike]

good job on yet another hog buck man ,it looks like its not getting mounted is that right or is the cape folded up under the head. Either way great buck and breaking 30 in BC is quite impressive indeed.

[Moose Guide]

Nice Buck, what region did he fall in?

[358mag]

Nice Buck, what region did he fall in?
Region 3 thats were all the big mulies hang out

[Junorr500]

See it at Big Buck Contest in Lumby this year?

Anyone Got a date on that Yet?

[deer nut]

That is an awesome buck! Seems like you must have a room full of dream (bucket-list) bucks based on your posts here! Congrats! I'd love to see a comparison photo with some of your past muleys!

[scottwh]

I thought you got that buck in 100 mile Mark??? Where did you get it then! HAHAHAHAHA! Beauty deer! Congrats! Man, a 30 incher? Now thats sweet!

[Husky7mm]

Nice buck man, you work hard. I'd spoon that for sure maby more. LOL 31 inches must of looked nice. Ever seen him before?
G.F.Y to funny!!!!

:roll::roll: lol Good one! Congrats on the beauty.

[LukaTisus]

Nice! I was chasing a big one like that around, this year. Didn't get a bead on him though, but did have a 2pt walk right up beside me, little more than a fir-tree between me and him. The 2pt was trailing the big guy and his does.. but lead me into a freakin' honey-hole and a half! I know where I'm setting up, next year. ;)

Nice buck, man!

[Rubberfist]

Very nice meat buck...should eat well. Maybe next year hold out for something a lil wider!

Haha congrats on a beauty!

[BromBones]

Missed this thread somehow.

Very nice buck, congrats! :)

[rifleman]

Wow . Now thats a fricken dream buck. I think yer bucket is full now. way to go!!!

[Husky7mm]

:roll::roll: lol Good one! Congrats on the beauty.

Beleive it or not he is not joking. And region 5 did have some "easy" big buck hunting for a number of years...

[Dusty Roads]

Awesome Buck! congrats man!!

[Brian011]

I definitely agree on the region 5 and 100 mile comments, I've always been able to find decent bucks around there, I know of some huge bucks taken from around there the last few years, this year included

[Jelvis]

WOW! mark your a living legend. That is a killer buck. Your a consistent and very knowledgeable hunter.
Jelman .. Mark on the wall for mark ... One of thee Top hunters in BC for sure ..... Congratulations again and again .. Whoa! .. Beauty buck

[mark]

:roll::roll: lol Good one! Congrats on the beauty.

Actually I was quite serious dude!


Beleive it or not he is not joking. And region 5 did have some "easy" big buck hunting for a number of years...

Yup it sure did, I believe it still does!


I definitely agree on the region 5 and 100 mile comments, I've always been able to find decent bucks around there, I know of some huge bucks taken from around there the last few years, this year included

Hey Brian, whats the word around town??? What was the biggest buck from 100 mile this year????

[dana]

Hey Brian, whats the word around town??? What was the biggest buck from 100 mile this year????

I've heard of a couple 190 class typicals and a 220 NT coming out of there this year.

[Seeadler]

Very nice buck.

Well I shot my velvet buck there this year which was my biggest, and my cousin brad, who I think you know, shot the big nt that I posted in the gallery. My dad shot a decent one, not huge but 150ish, and I've heard of a couple others but haven't seen pics yet cause I haven't been back for a while.

[cavebear]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what else can you say?

[mark]

I've heard of a couple 190 class typicals and a 220 NT coming out of there this year.

Well if thats true, it outproduced the okanagan this year.....(from what Ive heard of anyway) :confused:
Ive given the 100 mile area a rest for the past couple years....maybe time to revisit some of my old spots next year!!!!!! :)
BTW thanks for the positive replies HBC'ers.

[Husky7mm]

Yes sir I would positively spoon that buck!:-D

[dana]

Actually Mark I've heard of several bigger ones killed in the OK this year. I guess you just ain't got your ear close enough to the ground. ;)

[M.Dean]

Well, it's Minus 11 here right now, was going to stay home tomorrow, but after seeing Marks Buck, I'll just dress a bit warmer and hope like hell I don't freeze to death! Congrats on a great looking Hog!

[StoneChaser]

Mark, congrats on a great buck!

[Hunter Dog]

I just showed these pictures to my son. I got him to hold out his hands and then I put a tape measure at 31" between his fingers. I had to pick his jaw up off the floor for him...and him mine! Congrats...I don't have words for that beast!

[Ambush]

Not much you can say about a buck like that except congratulations on a beauty and on fullfilling a milestone goal!!!

[GoatGuy]

Well if thats true, it outproduced the okanagan this year.....(from what Ive heard of anyway) :confused:

Know of 3 over 200" in Reg 8, and then the smaller bucks.

The Internet isnt being used as a big buck picture board anymore.

Btw nice deer, know you put the time in and worked for it.

Dino that things a TANK !!

First off, great buck. Second, I really admire you telling the naysayers to get bent right up front. Third, it's too bad said naysayers have led to a dramatic decrease in people willing to post photos to hunting sites like these (myself included)...So thanks for sharing!

Thats a really great mature buck, close to 30" wide with long main beams.
Dark cape, huge thick chest, looks to be in his prime, likely wont ever be any bigger!

I agree, it is getting sad that many dont want to post their success anymore, its the main reason I come here, so I participate regardless.

I like how you post a pic of a heavy mature buck and play it off like its not a shooter.....lol

You would cream in your panties if you ever saw a buck like that in the flesh,then again you probably don't have to worry about that ever happening:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Cool buck Mark....well done.

Didnt you just say you come to this site to to see pics like this then you bash me after I post one? Your thread stated to keep negative comments to yourself yet you cant wait to make them at others. I dont care that you make the comments that you do because I can take it but it sure sounds like you cant when someone takes a crack at you. "Dont make any negative comments" you sound like an effin pu$$Y.

Take a closer look bud, that buck is not as big as you or the self proclaimed hero says he is.At best I put him at 170" And he isnt that much bigger than the buck my bud and I shot a couple of weeks ago.

Guys like you are always taking pokes at me but never seem to post any pics of yourself with bucks of any size. I may shoot smaller 160 sh bucks but I do it every year and I usually take two.
Ya your right I would cream my panties just like you or anyone else would, I will shoot a mature muley that I will hang on my wall one day and be damm proud of it because of all the hard work I put in, guys like you will still be trashing everyone else for shooting low scoreing muleys like the ones I shoot yet guys like Mark and other self proclaimed hero's still shoot and post low scoring muleys every year.
By the way Mark I love the wide bucks more than I do the talls ones. Nice buck.

[shureshot]

Holly crap thats a cranker good job wow.

[Nooker77]

Nice buck Mark!! WTG I wouldn't have thought twice either!!
