This old boy has been giving me fits but it's still nice to get him on camera because I know he made it through gun season. He appears to have taken a tine to the eye during a fight. I've got his sheds from last year and I hope I can prevent him from getting the chance to drop these. If I don't get him this year, he should be a porker next fall

Nice looking buck! Does look like he's got a litte eye infection.

Thats a REAL trophy. Make sure you add a picture of him to the 5 point thread. I hope you get him.

Thats what I was going to say. I wouldn't want to see him again next year, this year up close would be fine!

Nice buck B4E!
Would you be able to edit the original post to include a pic of the sheds?
It's always fun to see the progression.

Black Ghost · « **Reply #11 on:** November 29, 2008, 02:03:13 AM »

Have you gotten any glimpse's during the daylight? Or is he straight nocturnal

bow4elk · « **Reply #12 on:** November 29, 2008, 10:52:19 PM »

This dude is nocturnal 100%. I'm not sure how I'll get a crack at him.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #13 on:** November 29, 2008, 10:59:20 PM »

Well you know where he is at night. Now start looking for where he is during the day.

bow4elk · « **Reply #14 on:** November 30, 2008, 03:23:25 PM »

No $hit Sherlock!

Black Ghost · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2008, 06:32:26 PM »

I think we all know where he is during the daylight, unfortunately like most monsters it's do damn thick, he'll see you or smell you before you get a chance to even get in the neighborhood! Good luck!

Either that or he will lay low and let you walk by at ten yards.

You could tell me where he is and I'll chase him to you

bow4elk · « **Reply #19 on:** November 30, 2008, 09:43:48 PM »

Gee, thanks for all the offers to help but no thanks...I like beating my friggin' head like this

Maybe he'll get his other eye poked next fall and I find him bumping into trees.

To add salt to the wounds, another good buck walked past another cam three times on opening day...all during daylight hours. Good thing I was 3/4 mile away passing up forkies that Charlie wouldn't even let walk

Awesome blacktail. I know the frustration of having a big buck like this show up only after dark. Sometimes I think those big bucks just want to turn, smile into the camera, and flip you off. Anyway, keep at it and I hope that big boy makes a mistake for you.

sdwwaverider · « **Reply #22 on:** December 03, 2008, 12:36:10 PM »

Hey Tom break out the salt & apples, watch the wind and sneak up on his right side.

Good Luck, he's going to be worth it when you connect.

You might have to pull the all nighter and sleep next to that camera.

I caved in and took a decently wide and heavy fork horn so I could hunt elk. He'll be there next year and I plan on hunting rifle season with my bow to have more rut influence. With a poked out eye and the rut, maybe - just maybe - I'll get a leg up on him

Titan-1 · « **Reply #29 on:** December 14, 2008, 12:51:58 PM »

Nice buck, I have a nice one I've been after for two years now. I'm new to the site but I'll try to post a pic of him right now. good luck getting yours.

What the %&*$ do you think I've been thinking about 24/7 for the past two weeks

Can't wait to walk some of my spots and see what might be laying around. It's thick as all get out but I know they will be there somewhere.
