Giant Sioux Falls Buck is Back and Bigger Than Ever
I’ve made several posts regarding the huge non-typical whitetail living within the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, city limits shown below. Well the buck continues to not only live, but thrive.For an update on how he looks wearing his ’09 antlers, check out this video.
I truly get a kick out of stuff like this. Here is a wild, free-ranging deer that not only has the right stuff to grow huge...he also has the good fortune of living in an area where, for much of the year, he enjoys some protection. And as local officials and state game agency folk have pointed out before, the more coverage this buck gets, the safer he stays. I have no doubt there are poachers or thrill-killers watching this buck; there are also lots and lots of good folk doing the same. And the more good folk, the merrier, in my book.
Obviously I would have zero problem with a hunter taking this buck in a legal situation. But if that doesn’t occur, I will get an even bigger charge out of just watching this old boy grow older.

Very nice deer. From the video it looks to be in a pretty rural area. Maybe it will travel outside of the city limits during the rut and let some lucky hunter have a shot at it.
now the only thing we need him to do is stay away from predation. sioux falls is a great place for a large buck for him to live another place I could see a large deer like him living in south dakota is in the shelter and security of the black hills.
Beautiful animal. I hope he lives long & procreates. If someone takes him, that's fine, but I hope it's not a poacher.
Its not to majestic for me! Dont get me wrong, it is a beautiful animal, but it would be WAY prettier on my wall . 8]
that deer is massive
If a LEGAL and ethical hunter takes him Good! But more likely some punk with cut loose with an AR in the city park and leave him there!
Absolutely beautiful animal! I don't believe that any animal on this planet compares to the Majesty of a large Whitetail buck! I've watched them all of my life and I never see enough.
That deer's rack is bigger than Dolly Parton's!
Do they call it the Dolly buck?
Nice buck!! It would be cool to see something of that size in the wild. I don't mean to shoot it (although that would be nice) but even just being able to catch a glimpse of something that big would be an awesome thing to see.
he would make a nice target for my recurve,but he would be nice to see get old to,he would be to easy to get every body around has set there and watched him .
why aint there a new picture of him on here
The nice thing is he lives in my backyard. I overlook the valley
Looks like a dream of a whitetail. That is what people do not get about hunting... its not all about killing the animal. I would probably get as much joy or even more joy watching this animal than I ever would harvesting it.
