The first and only time I ever saw him. And yes, that's a Washington buck.

Wow. Hope you see him again someday

Beautiful buck. He does look young so hopefully he's got a few years of good growth and some time for you to catch up to him. If you need any help just let me know.

What kind of minerals are in the the ground? There must be more bucks around like that one?

I'm also wondering huh?? Can you explain because I can't read between those lines??

257 Wby Mag · « **Reply #15 on:** December 28, 2014, 08:36:45 PM »

Sorry bout those lines,it was meant to say " Adler"... didn't know they had Adler in whitetail country....

Jonathan_S · « **Reply #16 on:** December 28, 2014, 08:55:21 PM »

Plenty of Alder in some whitetail country.

As for Adler, I believe that was the name of a villainous femme fatale from "Sherlock Holmes"

Please state where you've seen Adler that big in whitetail country.... I've hunted all over the western states and Canada ,I've never seen Adler that big other than coastal wa and ore.....

huntnnw · « **Reply #18 on:** December 28, 2014, 09:21:06 PM »

looks like the pics were taken in person?

I dont think that buck is that young and to hard to tell without a side view

TommyH · « **Reply #19 on:** December 29, 2014, 08:28:57 AM »

Looks young??

johnnyaustin44 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 29, 2014, 10:54:38 AM »

Looks similar to me.......

boneaddict · « **Reply #21 on:** December 29, 2014, 11:32:54 AM »

Fantastic photos of a more fantastic deer!

Wow, that would get the blood flowing

C-Money · « **Reply #22 on:** December 29, 2014, 01:40:14 PM »

Wow, what a great animal!

Firedogg · « **Reply #23 on:** December 29, 2014, 03:20:29 PM »

Without getting too specific it was in the draw of a creek that eventually feeds into the Kettle river.

i have pics of another in the area after the velvet shed before rifle season that at first I thought was the same buck, but looking at it there was no way it matched up with this guy. I'll post him up when I get back on the computer at home. I have yet to see any of these big guys when I am over there with a tag I can put on them.

Hornseeker · « **Reply #24 on:** December 29, 2014, 03:34:20 PM »

Way different Johnny...

Would sure be fun to see him hard horned! Or find the sheds!!!

bearpaw · « **Reply #25 on:** December 29, 2014, 03:36:26 PM »

that buck has some serious "wow" factor

hunting4sanity · « **Reply #26 on:** December 29, 2014, 04:29:19 PM »

That certainly is a wow of a deer! Great photos, how close were you & what kind of camera if you don't mind saying?

Firedogg · « **Reply #27 on:** December 29, 2014, 06:13:48 PM »

About 45 feet when he came over the log, closer on the head shot and the camera spooked him instantly with the one shot.

I have to guess it was the Canon 1D I had back then with the 70-200 2.8 IS lens, most likely shot wide open at f2.8m. Could have been compression from the focal length along with the OOF area that makes that "adler" in the background look huge. I have to dig through the files on CD where the original is to read the exif info for the exact set up. Where I have this stored online it stripped that info.

257 Wby Mag · « **Reply #28 on:** December 29, 2014, 06:26:28 PM »

Got the camera info, now I know where to start hunting for that buck!! Grin

Great pics post some more!

Firedogg · « **Reply #29 on:** December 29, 2014, 06:32:20 PM »

lol No GPS info on any of my cameras besides my Iphone, but I'm usually using that to play Angry Birds while waiting for critters to walk by.
