A Buck History (Groucho) legacy continues...

Hope you get some good pic's of him!
Such a cool deer and glad he has got to spread his genes over many years and has lots of offspring running around.

[elkrack]

Got him today!   No 2020, figured he was dead

He must have been self quarantined lol

[boneaddict]

He was in quarantine  today too. That  SOB

[abhold87]

Does he have the same characteristics just regressed more?

[boneaddict]

His eye guards have the gnarl, but not as pronounced from front, and he has more mass with less spread.   

[boneaddict]

I don’t recall anything extra coming off his mains this time like in 16 and 18

[boneaddict]

I went after him yesterday and it was a bust.  In fact the whole day was a bust.   I got schooled by a big buck.   I was not happy with myself.   There was a smaller one with him, and  I thought there was a possibility it was Groucho, but when I looked at the one pic I got in the floating second I had him in my viewfinder, it wasn’t him. 

[LDennis24]

Are you saying Groucho was the smaller one or am I misunderstanding your post Bone?

[boneaddict]

Yeah, it wasn’t Groucho, but the buck I screwed up on was huge.   I’m not sure if you’ve ever hunted in Russian olives, but they are a real biotch.    I always preach patience to the newbs, well I lost my patience and was rewarded

Russian olives are a bitch. I've hunted pheasant in them around Potholes a bit.

[Birdguy]

I sure hope you find him again Doug! This was such a cool thread a few years back finding him after 2 years of nothing is outstanding! Good luck!!

[LDennis24]

I have Russian olives a hundred yds from my door. They are being spread by the birds. It's just wonderful. Lol The thorns can get hellacious in a good thicket of them! I hope you get some pics of this guy and Groucho too! Good luck!

[boneaddict]

The holes they crawl into would fit a pheasant.    There’s.a reason they can outlive poachers, hunters, tribal harvest, four legged predators, bumpers etc.   The Mrs says be home tonight, so I’ll probably pull out of the north country and get after him again Monday. Fewer duck hunters.
