 I agree with all that has been said so far. I hunt a couple of places that are a mix of whaet and CRP, and by far the best bucks we see or get come from brushy draws or the CRP ground. This area holds mulies and WT's, and a few good ones of each. I always see big whitetail bucks out in the stubble when were after coyotes, but this is way after season closes and they are after the does. One thing I have noticed where I hunt is after the first good snowfall, the mulie bucks tend to become pretty scarce. I talked to a biologist about it and he said they head down to the river breaks.Might have to check that out sometime.

Last year during early archery i was chasing a buck that was a clean 4 point only about 24 inches wide but he would've put the 160 class muley on my wall to shame, deeeeep forks, lots of mass, i would say probably at least 170 maybe 175, saw him probably 15 times in september and had a few close calls with him, and i was also chasing 2 lesser bucks in the area that were both pushing 26-28 inches but with weaker forks and less mass probably wouldve scored 150 at best, didnt end up killing any of those 3 and when rifle season rolled around we couldnt find them anywhere. If you ever spook a big mulie in wheat country, look within a mile or less the next day, and every day after that, those 3 bucks were on rotations in the same draws every coupla days.

That toung is sick Jk . Anyways My bro and i sometimes hunt around pomeroy and about 5 years ago we were on our way home (I was tagged out on a smaller 5 point) he was not. and we saw some bedded bucks in a large wheat field. Belive it or not the land was posted feel free to hunt. to make a long story we busted them at the last minute and i watched as 8 bucks filled past my brother at 40 yards with his muzzeloder shaking folowing each one as they passed. none really gave him a clean shot but 45 seconds after the last buck passed Him the biggest mule deer i have ever seen stood up and began to sneak away the other direction I helplessly watched as my brother proceeded to miss him with his smoke pole (buck fever) at 50 yards. he was a no B.S. 190 washington buck. To this day it still haunts me. Anyways the moral of my story is there are a few of them (big bucks that is) but your going to have to be really lucky or really good to hang your tag on a WA wheat field monster they are just to smart ( adapted to us ). :bash:

Yes I agree this is a horible picture. It was an after thaught my wife asked if I got a picture of it yet. I told her no so she took one while I was starting to skin it. I never looked at the pic till I was done and thought I need to make sure I get a decent pic this year!

Most of my first bucks are just pictures in the back yard with a bloody chopped off head. I have gotten a little better over the years.

Is it just me or is tha bucks eye glowing green.

Nice buck by the way.
