H.L.R. buck Genes!!!

[Lowedog]

Stickslinger, that's a sweet set of sheds!  Is that a desert buck?  The Tripod buck had backs like that but his mass was incredible.  He also had some more extras. 

All my video is 8mm cassette.  I hadn't thought of recording it on DVD.  I'll look into that.

It is a desert buck. I really hope he shows up again and has kept the same charactor as last year, only grown a bit. He was a very young deer. I wanted to see him get some age.

Lowedog as far as converting Analog Video to Digital you have alot of options. Wally World sell a 8mm to DVD burner for $100.00? Plug in the 8mm cassette and it burns it to a DVD (simple). You can purchase a Converter Box(simply converts Analog to Digital)and run it through your computer. You need some type of Capture Program. Also some newer Digital Video Cameras have a built in Converter. If you need info let me know!!! Good Luck

I've always called them turkey forks.  Kinda reminds me of a turkeys foot.

[wastickslinger]

Turkey forks- I like that. So I'll call the buck "triple turkey fork". He will need an official name name this year.

I’d be interested to hear where you guys think these bucks reside the rest of the year?

I was wondering the same thing.  Do those bucks cross 97 at some point?  Or do they spend their summers in the Colockum?  Can anyone remember any desert looking bucks (long, wide, relatively thin) coming from the Blewett area, Alpine Lakes, etc.?  Of course, seems like they get down to their wintering area pretty early, so maybe they stay closer?

The thing about Chelan CO is the winter range is a central gathering point... when the deer leave the winter range, it is a shot gun pattern as to which direction they will head in order to get back to their summer range...  Picture a donut, the center is Chelan CO, and the 'dough' is the mtn's surrounding Chelan CO which consists of their summer range... very hard to pinpoint a bucks summer range from his wintering location... you can make guesses and some will be accurate, but you'll never really know unless you get real lucky!

Well I know of one buck that was killed on a late tag west of 97 that spent his winters in the HLR area. 

Several years ago the DFW did a study and radio collared a bunch of does on Chelan Butte to see where they go during the summer.  They went everywhere.  They found some of them 50 miles away in the Alpine Wilderness and some didn't go anywhere. 

The shotgun pattern is a great way to describe it.

If only I had a tranquilizer gun and a radio collar!

Two years in a row, on the same corner on Blewitt, in the middle of November, I have almost smucked a gigantic buck crossing the road.  So far, about an inch has seperated me from him in two encounters.  Thats 1/2 an inch each time.  Both , lovely bucks.  I'm about to set a treestand or a camera on that corner of the hiway.  There must be one hell of a crossing there.  I hope there is some clause in the ethics that says if the buck does more than 4,000 worth of damage to your vehicle, you get to keep the antlers.

I hope there is some clause in the ethics that says if the buck does more than 4,000 worth of damage to your vehicle, you get to keep the antlers.

Page 25, paragraph 6 of the ethics book states that the ethical/monetary line is $2,500...$4,000 gets you the antlers and backstrap.
