Ironically enough the biggest deer I have ever seen was 3 weeks ago on my way to the lease. It was a mule deer on the side of the road near Paducah going toward Matador it was bedded down on freaking highway 70 at 4 in the morning. We whipped it around and there he was he stood up then bent down took a big ol' bite of whatever it was he was eating and then real slowly turned around and walked off into the darkness. He was huge he was every bit of 25-30 inches wide and every bit of the same amount tall, an easy 200 plus muley. I honestly had no idea that deer even got that big in Texas, he would be a stone cold monster in any state across the union.

cool

Let's just say I was the last to see them.

Old school it was a deer that ran across the road on my ranch in 94 and never came back. I found out last year he was killed that year on the neighbors and scored 204.

This one in denton county

Was in Mills County and was a tall huge bodied deer that had main beams with lots of mass but had a badly busted up rack. This old deer was so tall that he could lean is neck and head over the cattle panel feed pen with ease. I would guess his body weight at 250+. The morning I saw him we had a howling wind with very low temps and when that big boy stepped up to the feeder pen I thought I must be in Canada somewhere. I let him walk hoping I would see him the following year with a better rack, but I never did.

3 stick out in my mind.

one was when i was 17 and we were riding around in the jeep at about 10 oclock at night, mid november. we spotlighted two bucks and drove to within about 40 yards of them. one was a really nice 140 class 8 but the other was a 12 point semi-typical that we all assumed would have gone around 175. we never saw that deer again, and to my knowledge none of the hunters got him, although I could be wrong. the other was a really wide 160 class deer that we saw, again riding around in the jeep, last day of the season 2006. stopped right in the road and looked at us for about a minute and a half, deer had to be 24 inches wide, 10 points, but fairly short tines. i would guesstamate him at around 160ish. could have shot him about a dozen times but we decided to let him go as he was only 5 1/2. nobody got that deer either.

last one I shot with a camera, I estimated him at 160. hunter shot him 2nd week of november, scored 166.


i've been fortunate enough to see several 160 class deer, tons of 150 inch and 140 inch bucks. But I can only say with any certainty that I've only seen one 170 plus inch deer while in the field

Big Bend area while driving to a bow hunt, night time of course, side of road, about 20 years ago he was 17 points non-typical we could not believe our eyes he was truely a monster.

The biggest live deer I've ever seen was a monster Mulie that I got one photo of back in the Eighties;this was at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.Huge spread and incredible mass. I think the best part of a lot of these stories is the deer that are seen once and then never again.It just goes to show that one can never know what is going to step out even though all you've seen is does and forkies all season.Just keep hunting longer and harder. And last but not least-be ready. Kix

Mine was this past August, driving along US 20 between Powder River, Wyoming and Natrona, Wyoming. I saw the top 3 or 4 biggest whitetail bucks I have ever seen in my life along the side of the road eating. 3 of the monsters were together and one was a lone ranger. Absolute monster whitetails.

When I was just a youngster, there was a huge 14 pt. that would hang around a little creek that spilled over a road in Lakeway, Tx. Every deer season, he would vanish, that continued up to the time I left home for the Navy. Never heard anything about the deer, don't know if someone finally got lucky or if he passed on from old age. I cant say what he would have scored, but he would have been a trophy to any hunter.

saw a 12-14 point in a canyon here in utah i was on my quad and it stepped on the trail about 20 feet right in front of me looked right at me taunting me. unfortunately it was not hunting season i was just out for a ride with my wife.

when the hunt started i tried for several days to find him with no luck. he has become my nemisis buck hopefully i will get a shot at him someday. i'm sure he is still in that area somewhere

2 huge bucks that crossed 380 between Jacksboro and Runaway Bay leaving the Tom Cherryhomes Ranch back around '01 and a brute near the Erath/Hamilton line off of 281 in '98.

I've seen this mount, he's 4 ft wide.

50 miles north of Gunnison Colorado. November 1985. 10,000'+ elevation. Biggest deer I've ever seen and it was a Whitetail. In my life, I will never see another buck that big and it was back before Colorado combined the Deer and Elk season. Since it was Elk season, all I could do is watch him. He never knew I was there. I told the GW about it one of the dozen or so times I was checked. He said he's seen those old bucks up there and that they spent the whole winter with the Elk. He said they were so old they didn't go into rut anymore and 400 lb deer were common. Don't know about all that but that's what a GW told me.

Where in Mills county? Theres some funny stuff roaming around the Caradan area in Mills county...Ive heard rumor of these canadian deer roaming around....ive seen 2 axis bucks within a mile of my place behind a low fence....and know a lady in the area that used to see red stag.

The largest buck ive ever seen on hoof was just yesterday, but i was cheating. I was hunting a high fenced ranch near Cisco to kill a doe. Friday night I saw an upper 150 class 12 point, Saturday morning saw a 160 class 11 point. This deer had true mule deer split G2's.

Biggest deer in the wild was in Kerr County. Im sure he escaped a high fenced establishment, but he was behind a low fence when I saw him. 20+ inches wide, typical 12 with stickers and kickers everywhere.

180ish WT @ twin buttes in san angelo typical 10 with trash everywhere, 200 plus Mulie in Baily county 2 weeks after season pheasant hunting jumped him up 20 yrd atleast 36' wide and mass to go with it 200 all day long prolly north of that.

I've posted this one before. I took two snap-shots with a small digital camera and he white flagged me to never be seen again!

biggest deer i ever saw was on the hwy that runs along the 6666's and the pitchfork. This deer was easily 300lbs and probably lower 190's. We saw 36 bucks on that hwy that night and 16 of those were over 140 ridiculous!

We call that stretch of the hwy B&C road

Brisco County in the Texas Panhandle. Two big Mule Deer bucks traveling together.

I saw this guy when he was in velvet in a bean field. I found him a few months later while coonhunting. He had been dead a few days and I really couldn’t tell what killed him but it was during muzzleloader season and he was about 200 yards from a highway. The strangest thing was another buck had just destroyed all the tree for a 10 yards circle around this deer.

Nontypical is 240-ish. Typical is 180-ish. Both Grayson County.

I also saw a 180-ish typical in Maverick County a few years ago at 15 yards but I wasn't allowed to shoot.

My youngest son missed this guy two years ago. Got the fever real bad.

Wow, highlonesome1, that is a BIG deer, I'd get the fever, too. Good news is that he looks pretty young and should still be around, bigger and better!

Also, largest deer I have ever seen have been in Dimmitt county. Seen a couple book deer. Also, the flat out BIGGEST deer deer I have seen, as in how large the antlers were, not score, was an 8 pointer in Dimmitt. This guy was GIANT. If I had to guess, he scored in the 160s.
