Have you killed your biggest since?????

[P&YBuck1]

I have Not killed by biggest buck but I would say this
- I am more consistent shooting above average bucks
- I am able to see buck and nice bucks on public land which I dreaded to hunt for lack of sights so this changed drastically
- I am getting closer to big bucks, but just a hair shy of sealing the deal

So, bottom line is since following the Dan, his Beast site and all the members here, I feel and see definite improvement and consistency in my buck sightings and kills.

Thanks to all!

Biggest No. Oldest yes.

I killed the oldest, largest and possibly my highest scoring buck ever this year. Though I had several years of intel on him, I’m completely convinced the tactics I’ve learned here since February are what made it all happen. Without being mobile, reading/understanding the sign, and using milkweed to determine where to setup, it wouldn’t have happened.

I went from hunting 100% private land my whole life to roughly 90%+ public land sits this year. Having 1 missed opportunity, 1 close encounter on the ground and several other big buck sightings on public its easily the best season I’ve ever had. Almost every time out on public has been a scout and hunt scenario and I feel it’s pointed me in the right direction for this coming post season scouting.

Yes, this is my second season since discovering the beast tactics and I got my biggest buck to date this season. I got a late start to last season so I cant really count it as beast hunting because I had very little preseason scouting time. But I did find the spot that produced my buck this year. I cant thank everyone on this site enough. I went from just wanting to see any deer, to knowing I will have as many opportunities at deer I want. As long as I'm willing to put in the work. I have learned more about hunting deer, specifically mature bucks, in the last year and a half than all my previous years combined.

Yes, and almost topped those with a bigger one this year.

Technically yes, but if you saw my kill story you would know it wasnt a very beast style hunt.

However, This year hunting mobile and with beast style tactics I saw more bucks than I ever have in a year, Including a 170 inch or more Giant within 30 yards I never had a shot on. So Id say overall my hunting has improved, and I still have my bow buck tag for late season.

Yep. Top buck, and three of my top five. Before the beast I killed 0.55 bucks/year, since 1.75 bucks/year, all but 1 2.5 and above. Any way you crack it, my success has gone up.

Honestly, the biggest improvement has been capitalizing on opportunities so much better. Even pre-beast, I usually had a chance at a mature buck or two every season but more often than not, something went wrong. The focus on details, and confidence to know every sit is higher odds has really helped me capitalize so much better. I expect to kill every sit now, even if it still only happens a small percentage of the time, and that has been a game changer for making that a reality.

Also, this thread is screaming for buck pictures as the season winds down here gents!


138 gross dressed 206 on a scale


Would have been low 140's if not broken up, dressed 196 on a scale mid-late rut


153 gross with only 2.5 inch brows and dressed 230 on a scale

Just started so had to vote no....even tho I had a chance at a good one this year due to the beast

Yes, body and score. Scouting more than you hunt and being mobile allows you to hunt high percentage spots every time out. If you can manage that, it's a matter of time. 1 for 10 pre beast, 5 for 6 post beast, proof is in the pudding.
