Seen legit 200" buck?

Alright clearly I'm a bit bored in the off season, my question is how many of you have seen a legit 200" buck. And better yet, have video, photos, or harvest proof. I'd like to see and know if you have. We all here the stories of monsters, lets separate fact from fiction and see them.

YES I've been fortunate enough to see several (not boasting at all), just really been lucky and enjoy trying to find them and get some 'proof'. All in fun.

I'll start...

Does he break the magical 200" mark to you? Yes he was harvested and I have a score.

Any guesses??

What say ye and lets see yours.

Guess i will put my reputation on the line and say that buck will not hit the 200in mark. Close but no cigar.

Does he have an inline on the passenger side that is hidden? If so, that might put him over the top

I'm going to say Yes that he is. He has great forks, front and back. Mass looks good and I'd say he is at least a 180' main frame. I'm thinking 187'. It also looks like he has an 8' inline off of the G-2 and about 4' in kickers on the right. Now add in the nice eye guards at at least another 8' and that puts him over.

Who cares I would put an arrow in that buck Brett. Dang nice buck.

No doubt i would shoot him in a second, but no. I don't think he is 200". Id guess around 195-198. He just doesn't have much of a spread, mass is ok, forks are excellent!! Liking the kickers too!

He's probably close to 200". I can't say I've seen one for sure but a few were close. I know I've seen several over 190.

I can say that I have only seen 3 bucks on the hoof that would go 200. Keep in mind, I only hunt general season and easy to draw units. I was able to get one of them on my wall though. :)

Here's one I know is over 200" I photographed and hunted when I drew my AZ archery Strip tag a few years back:

I am gonna say the one muleymadness posted is not quite 200".

But the one Roy posted is over 200" IMO

I have seen a couple I believe are over 200" and killed a 196" gross non-typical on an ID general unit.

heres a couple that i know went over 200" :thumb 214" on the 22" wide non-typical and 204 on the 32" wide 4x5

with those extras, it might push bretts buck over 200" gross

I think that buck Brett posted falls short by mere inches... I think I have seen one buck that was a 200 " deer but it was in a national park and probably never left! unfortunatly I don't have as much oppertunity to look for them like most of you!
thanks for sharing the pics bohntr and killer! Awesome bucks

I'm sticking to it that he is a little over 200'. The one tine on the G-2 is not as long as I though, but he has some other stuff I didn't see either. :-k

I don't know but he's a great looking trophy. I'd say extremely close if not just over the 200" mark. That's a great picture too from the AZ Strip.

Alright, I'm not the measurer so I can't confirm for sure, but the guys who scored it are pretty good.
His gross score was 204", don't have a net score on him sorry. And he was only 27" wide.

Keep this thread rolling boys, I've got a couple more to share like this but want to see/hear more of your stories. Great bucks so far! 10sign:

Here's another buck nicknamed "centerfold".....a definite 200" gross buck. He was in the same bachelor herd I arrowed my typical out of, along with the first buck I posted in this thread. Kory and Garrett photographed this buck several years on the Strip. At the time of this photo, he was estimated to be 9.5 years old......he showed up one more year after this photo but did not return last year. Probably died of natural causes, as a buck like this would probably have made its rounds if taken. The mass on this buck is simply UNREAL in person.

I've seen 3 for sure. One before the season, a clean 4 point with brows probably 34 to 36 inches wide. Had video of him but that's long gone. A 207 inch non-typical some guys I know shot. A probably 220-240 inch non-typical I blew a shot on 3 years ago during archery season. I started to draw and a chipmunk immediately saw me and sounded off at which point he looked right at me and walked off. All in the Bookcliffs.

I don't have any pictures yet of the 200+ inch guy we have in our area but I know that he is well over 200. Probably close to 220". I have another buck by my whitetail property that should be close this coming year. He went from a small 125" +/- 3 point to close to 170" 4 point with a kicker in one year. Here is a pic of him from last year. I was zoomed in a bit so you can really see him as good as I was hoping.

Any guesses on score would be appreciated. I'm not the greatest at guessig but so far have been fairy clos with the animals I've harvested.

I have some video of a few different bucks easily over the 200" range from the Kaibab in the 90's......also have a 203" buck on the wall from the Kaibab.

As far as legitimate 200" deer I've seen over the years (not photographed)......well I've seen quite a few. Again, I've been fortunate to have bowhunted the Strip, and the Kaibab for years (in the good years) and have seen some absolute GIANTS. Seen two bucks over 200" in Northern NM, one in Southern AZ, and for sure two in CO as well. They are a rare deer that is tough to bowhunt though......out of all the years chasing them, I've only got lucky once with that caliber buck.

Man I don't have a clue on the score, but a good buck for sure. Pretty photo, looks like 1 big extra and a small one maybe to huh?

I believe I've seen ONE buck on the hoof that would push the 200" mark. Unfortunately I saw him for about 10 seconds and that was it. Once he realized he was busted he was gone in a flash.

Great pics of some AWESOME bucks though. This is one cool thread!

Alright lets try another one, I won't ask you to score him but here is another buck I've watched for 2 years that broke the magical 200" mark. I know both photos I have of him are bad, but he was hard to find and photograph. :)

He is a 6x6 and one of the coolest/impressive bucks I've watched.

Again not a very wide buck, but has everything else a guy could ask for IMO.

Here are the harvest pics...

Can't remember the exact score on this guy, but it grossed 209-215" somewhere in there.

My avitar pic is a buck that I use to watch back in the day. Seen him in hard horn also but never seen him again. Don't think he was killed because someone woulda herd about it around here where I'm from. I guessed him a little over 215"
