Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Serious Deer Talk Forum Crazy Buck Encounter (Huntsville)

We found where all those bucks big as those in Kentucky are, they're in Southeast Huntsville living amongst the beautiful people.

Monte Sano doesn't have any huge bucks that would make you say "DAYUM " wish I could hunt here.

I've seen a few places I wouldn't mind having a stand on the River Course, for sure.

Was that the infamous PW that fired that shot?

February 1 about 8 years ago I had a nice buck walk off Bell Mtn, across Hobbs Road and into the little scope of woods at the south end of WalMart. This happened about 3:30 pm in full view of South Parkway and oncoming traffic on Hobbs stopped to let him cross. Damnedest thing I ever saw in Huntsville.

My daughter hit a spike last Sunday night on North parkway. 7500.00 in damages according to insurance. Ugh...

Yall sound like yall must be drivin through the little fence inside the big fence! ha

I used to see Studs all the time over at the driving range right before the Wall Triana exit.

Still see does sometimes out on the driving range by Wall Trianna. Once saw.2 turkeys walking down the shoulder

All I've ever seen at the driving range was does, but none this year. Plenty of times in years past they'd be out there mid day even.

Saw a turkey multiple times last year on the shoulder near gate #9.

We found this funky buck's skull while spraying a powerline at the rock quarry (beside the driving range) a few years ago:

I've worked a lot in Huntsville the last 10 years, even had a guy i worked with that had permission to hunt McMullen Cove. Some of the deer he got on his camera were absolute studs. I went scouting with him one day and found a cedar tree as big around as my thigh that was destroyed. If I hadn't seen the pictures to prove what was walking around out there I would have thought it was man made.

Saw a doe get hit by a truck tonite on sutton rd.

Couple of summers ago the jogging route I had was through McMullen Cove on the little path past the pool and pasture to the next neighborhood. If you're on that street it goes up to the city greenway path that goes to Sublett Point.

One day after seeing some turkeys, I asked the guy in one of the houses there if he ever saw deer. He said he watched a 14-point for a year (autumn-winter-spring) � counted them with binoculars � and saw everything from 8s to 12s and the big one. Also a lot of turkeys.

I used to work for Two Men and a Truck, and did several moves in McMullen Cove when it was new. Every customer, without fail, complained about the hordes of deer that would tear up their flowerbeds.

And yet I'll bet most of them, if bowhunting was suggested as a possible remedy, would not want to allow that.

I was at a house in McMullen Cove for a youth group event and as we were in the backyard grilling a 12 point came trotting through the backyard right past us, mid day. My jaw just dropped. Only racked buck I have ever seen in person lol.

biggest deer ive seen in person was at mastin lake and 53. it was an 8 with maybe a 23" spread.

Scrape you're right about that. I live off of 53 in Harvest and the biggest deer I have ever seen in my life have came off Capshaw Mountain.

All the land around heres old Kelly land and I used to talk to them when I'd see them around. Used to tell me that he had trail cams on different small tracts that were in the area around the big neighborhood and high school and those bucks ran all over.

Sure enough last night I was driving through the neighborhood and came to where I faced a service road up the mountain and turned right. When my headlights hit the woods I could see eyes so I whipped around and got out my flashlight; staring back at was three sets of eyes, two does running in the woods and then a REAL big 8 in the middle of someones backyard that backed up to the mountain. He just stood there staring down the does while I had my flashlight on him about 30 yards away. Definitely didn't give a damn that i was sitting there with a big light in his face.

Two seasons ago I was on the way to hunt one morning and I had a monster level with the truck trying to run a doe across the street Had to have been an 150" deer. IF my truck hadn't been there to come between them, that buck would have ran that doe on to the Sparkman football field.

Don't even get me started on those deer on 53 before it becomes Jordan Lane.

the biggest whitetail ive ever seen was right past donegal drive, in the neighborhood below cecil ashburn. One night leaving a friends house and he came off the mountainside and ran right in front of my jeep, stopped and looked at me. another friend i went to high school with hit a huge non typical on donegal drive as well. i will post a pic when i get it. i think it was 165+. there are some real bruisers running around up there.
