Just a Tank
« on: December 01, 2014, 06:55:07 AM »
Out of all the large antlered bucks this year, this guy still ranks in as a favorite.   I got two really special bucks on film this day.  I was hunting country that was special too me.   I saw this guy moving in the thick lodgepole and I made my move to cut him off.  I'll try to get some more pics of him up, but I'll share this one for now.   Fantastic Two point if you ask me.   The other buck is November this year in the calendar.   He was another Tank.

You kind of have to be built like a tank to get through this stuff.  Him on the move.  Me trying to get to where I can get a clear shot of him.

If I'm a buck looking at him.....


I'm having to think reeeeeal hard how bad I really want to wrestle with him......  He looks beefy!

I killed a two point last year in ID that was almost as big just not as old.   How wide was he?  The one I shot was 16".

Awesome pictures. Smart ol buck there hanging out in that lodgepole downfall.
