#3 PAUL PRUDLER Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Bucks

#3 PAUL PRUDLER Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Bucks Does this buck actually look real? You dissect this buck, and there's something about that makes it appear almost mystical. When Chad brought this buck in from this hunt, we all just marveled at it's massiveness. Paul's buck has such huge bases and the mass all the way out to the tips is truly phenomenal. This buck doesn't have the huge webbing mass like yesterday's entry, but his thickness all the way out is unheard of. If thi

# 8 MARK BUCHANAN Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks This has got to be one of the most unique bucks I have ever seen. This thing has 4 beams. Are you kidding?!?! This is a buck that might show up in your dreams. A good dream, of course, but can this buck actually exist with these malconformed antlers.Wayne guided on this hunt. As his story goes, he saw this buck the hunt before but the buck got wind of their evil intentions and got away from them before clients Bill o

# 15 BOB WELLINGTON Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks

# 15 BOB WELLINGTON Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks Mr. Wellington came with us five years to Santa Rosa Island. He hunted with us in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, and 2009. This buck he shot in 2003 was his largest. This was also the only year that I guided him. On this year he came with him friend Bumpy Moyer. Bob and Bumpy also shot Roosevelt elk bulls on this hunt. Nothing like being busy to make the days go by fast. On this particular fateful day, we were hiking off

#17 MIKE HATTAWAY Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks

#17 MIKE HATTAWAY Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks This is Mike's 3rd and final entry into SRI's Top 100. "Slippers" was one lucky man. He never got too excited, he never seemed to be in a hurry, he just did things at his speed, and that attitude worked well for him on SRI. It might even be said that he was lucky that this buck was even alive when he arrived on the Island. A month and a half earlier, Jack Elkins totally wiffed on this buck. Jack was a great shot with

# 18 STEVE DANIELS Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks

# 18 STEVE DANIELS Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks Steve came to the Island twice. He came in 2005 with his friend Greg Sutton. While Greg shot a great buck (#83 of Top 100) that year, Steve did not. So for 2010, Steve brought his son Joshua for a father-son mule deer hunt. What a trip they had. Not only did Steve shoot this buck-of-a-lifetime, but his son also shot a 32" 200 inch buck! Now that is incredible. As a guide, Chad did a great job. We always wanted to gu

#21 REN ANDERSON Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks

#21 REN ANDERSON Top 100 Santa Rosa Island Mule Deer Bucks Two bucks from 2001 made the Top 100. This one with Ren and Frank Beltrame. Both were shot on the same hunt in late August. Ren's buck was easily the biggest buck of 2001. Aside from the forked G3 and G4 you could easily imagine this frame as belonging to a monster whitetail. This buck is so heavy and has such a big frame. The rut is a beautiful thing. Looking back at the statistics, the top five bucks of that year we
