This guy frequents my bro's backyard in Anacortes. Just a forkie, but I really dig the bases on him.

If his property was just a little bigger...

I love giant forkies! That thing is a beast.

Thanks for the pic.

Buddy lives in Anacortes...said they are definitely rutting. I'd pop that one for sure. Dig the bases as well. Good looking town deer.

That thing's gnarly, I like the vertical action

Been watching this deer grow over the last few years. I may try to get an antler catcher set up this winter. Would love to see how big those bases are now.

This is what fenced yards, apple trees, closeable gates and a bow are good for....

pretty small back yard with a steep cliff right below it - would need a bowfishing setup with SS cable on the spool to keep him from going where I couldn't get him. Or an old whaling harpoon.

You know I was thinking that! If you can't hunt him there, at least maybe you can find those sheds.

That's hilarious, can you imagine how that would go!

There are some pretty amazing bucks inside of town. I have seen some Masher 4 points in the Skyline area. We usually hear a story about some one trying to go sneaky pete and shoot one with a bow.... Normally just a bad shot with a big deer running around with an arrow hanging out of it.

I took this shot today about 11 am 3 blocks from the Anacortes post office.

He had a doe bedded down not less than five feet from him. Love is in the air.

Get yourself an apple/corn barge Loki and beach it, and they will come.

Some of the biggest blacktail I ever seen were seen in Anacortes ..I may have a few pictures around if I go digging ..

A friend of mine in Anacortes has had a 4-point tearing the bark off his trees and shrubs. The tracks in the beauty bark were hefty, and they sunk in the dirt a good 3-4". I've been trying to figure out how to let the air out of him without waking up the neighbors!
