Nice bucks indeed. 

Took my boy out to try to fill his doe tag in NW. Stella/504.  Heard one shot at first light.  Deer were not moving at all.  Bumped a bedded buck that ran into his maze of tangles.  Sent the boy in to chase it.  Funny as hell to hear him trying to catch up with that thing in the brush!

Went out from 0530-1100, did not hear a shot fired. I saw no deer or elk today. Had an interesting conversation with a chipmunk. He tried to explain what I was doing wrong, but I could not understand him. I will head back out after the game.

Does it seem that the rut is coming on already? One of the pics he stated the buck was sniffing a doe and another guy said he seen a buck with a few does. That tells me the rut is here or close, what do you guys think?
I nailed this big boddied studd yesterday kreepin on a doe, He is stinky and old. I was only able to spot front bottom teeth that were pretty loose. If anyone has any other suggestions on aging a deer I would like to know.

Nice Buck!  There are some very old bucks in North Bend area that never get bigger than a 2 pt, you can tell that boy is a old mature animal

My daughter got her buck (2 pt) on Sunday and it was very stinky.  I was able to find it in the timber and chest high ferns with my nose.

I agree, I have seen some great big, heavy rack, two points.  They are not "that" common where I hunt, but there are usually a couple hanging around if I really go looking for them.  One year I am going to have one mounted, I think they are great looking especially when they lack brow tines.
