I know of a 180" killed off Yanahli.
Not "advertised".
Wow, Id heard of some bruisers being taken but never thought of 180.
BTW, how many years ago was that RKenney?

bowriter,
The two big ones "off by themselves". What does that mean, as far
as the rut goes? I guess neighbor hood bucks have different
patterns than wild/hunted bucks. I know these deer are "wild",
but does it make a difference when they are not hunted.
I assume they are not hunted by humans. I guess in the instictive
mind of a deer, they know they are "hunted" to some extent.
Our rut peaked several weeks ago. That doesn't mean there won't be some unbred does come ino heat again. I doubt all the does have been bred. But deer who live in backyards are not the same deer as the ones who live in big woods.
I have only seen one of these bucks in daylight. But just because they are bucks-big bucks, does not mean they can't associate. The only time there is a problem is when they encounter a hot doe at the same time. Surely there has been a study done on this, somewhere. Maybe Auburn? I have been aware of it for years, just never gave it much thought.
When I put the backyard buck seminar together, I never even consider this aspect. To me, it was just natural. One of the aspects of the seminat was just how many big bucks lived right in people's backyards and they never saw them. No scrapes, no rubs, no doe chasing.
Oh, btw-these deer are hunted, just not in the backyards. They cross the road, they go into enemy territory.

Winchester- you'd be amazed at the bucks killed that exceed 160 that you never hear about...and I'm talking here in TN. I made the statement on a post a few days ago, that if killed a World Record, noone would ever know about it.
I meant it. I no longer need the money and I sure as he11 don't need the headaches.
