As I said you will hear of a lot more 30 inch bucks every year than you can see in a lifetime. Since I started guiding when I was 18 ( 31 years ago ) I bet I have not see over a dozen bucks that were 30 wide anyplace on their rack actually dead in the truck or on the pack horse. I remember almost everyone of them because they are very, very big and very, very rare. I don't have the current Montana record book but as of 1994 9th edition of the montana record book the record was 205 3/8 taken by Vern Delsha in custer county in 1983. I'm sure there have been some bigger ones killed since in montana but 220 might be streching it just a bit as 226 holds the national record. and after 30 years of guiding deer hunters I just try to tell the client if the deer is a shooter or not, like I said before mine get smaller when they hit the ground too. I have a nice nontypical here on the wall from 20 years ago, I'll try to get my wife to take a pic of it with me tonight and let you guy's guess. it will be fun to see everyone's guess. I will tell you that it is very big and not in the record books. keep a eye out for the thread.Bud, As a guide dont you say to a client, that looks like a 24" or 28" buck, without measuring. Of course you do, that is your field judgement, based on what "you" said of harvesting 100+ deer. I AM relatively new too muley hunting , so I WAS ALWAYS HEARING of the 30 " bucks guys where talking about. HOPING to get one, and found most was reference to outside. As a side note, in the last 5-6 yrs. up in NW MT. I see 1-2 a year, local tax. shops 190-200'' deer, personally know 2 BC TYP. & SOME pushing 220 non.
