I maybe a two point, but I am getting it done.

Now..........he normally isn't what I'd classified as an old buck, but I htink I have photgraphs of this guy last year and he was a 4 point. I need to research. He was blind in one eye, and he had some old attributes. He was a fighter with only two points and bigger bucks running around. his bones had fresh chips of of two of the points. He chased off a couple threes and even a 4.

Whoa Nelly!!!!!!

Great shot!

I'd rather see a big buck with lots of points doing the breeding. Guess the bright side is the doe will be a busy mother next spring.

I think he was a 4 last year. In this pic, you'll note the ear. I swear I photographed a 4 point withthe exact ear within 50 yards of this spot last year. Not saying he is an old recessive buck, thats what I meant in the first comment, just I think he backslid this year. He sure had the attitude. I photogrpahed 3 return bucks in this spot this year and I think all three were smaller than last year.

My two beats your two, GET LOST.

So I was filming this guy and I swear I hear a wheeze (snort wheeze without the snort) down the hill. I was just there and glassed it, but I thought I heard it. I kept taking pics, then I heard it again. OH FINE, so I rapped up and went and did a big circle around and sure enough...found another set of bucks. COOL! Those pics in a bit.

Definatly an ear that you'd remember.

Let us know if you find the old pics

He definately looks like a muture older deer in that last pic. I witnessed the "Ritual" at my uncles place in CleElum. All the deer from the surrounding area would winter up near his 14 acres on top of Hidden Valley Ranch back in the 80's and 90's. It wasn't uncommon to see 100 deer with 25 4-5 point bucks in a small area. I witnessed several breeding bucks and does but this one stood out in my mind.....There was a 2 point , 3 point and a 4 point breeding this one doe, each taking his turn when the other was tired out

Once the 4 pt was "done" the 3 point would hop on, then when he was "done' the 2 point would hop on and so the cycle would continue until all three had bred her 2 or 3 times (talk about a wetspot"

. All the while this was 10 ft in front of my Bronco with the lights on them, they could have cared less if I was there.

Thats interesting gobble. I've never seen multiples with deer but watched it a lot this fall with sheep. All sorts of negative comments came to mind.

I know its just a two point guys, but I liked how this picture turned out.

Gobble · « **Reply #9 on:** November 10, 2009, 09:51:49 AM »

Thats a good looking deer. I can't wait for my late hunt, 6 days of Hunting Bliss

Hey Bone did you notice anything wrong on his shoulder. It looks like he has an injury on his shoulder?

upriver · « **Reply #13 on:** November 10, 2009, 10:24:37 AM »

I noticed a couple monster two points around winthrop this year. They were definitely older deer. That's a whopper- big bodied.

boneaddict · « **Reply #14 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:01:53 AM »

I did Wapiti. I noted several stabs and thumps. He had been in a tussle recently

WAPITIHUNTER · « **Reply #15 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:13:46 AM »

He definatley looks like a mature deer that's for sure. Good looking buck.

huntnphool · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:27:51 AM »

Well I got one of them old two's out of there this year, looks like we have more work to do though.

Hornseeker · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2009, 07:01:40 PM »

I think we should be allowed to shoot bucks in the act of breeding that should not be breeding.

Like dinky forkies. Kinda like shoting crows in the act of depredation. Doing our part to help out the pool.

I think this is an old buck though. Likely has good genes to pass on. Just cause his horns have backed off doesnt mean his stamina has.

I got a forky for you guys that I'd have shot in a heartbeat. He was breeding as well. Lil Bone got to see it twice yesterday.

Time out in the woods...... I want even more but today and sitting here holding my puking little one. Guess that means I'll be puking in about 3 days.

I feel for ya. I stay home most of the time when the kids are sick because I can work from home and the wife is self employed, if she stays home no money comes in.

I need to get a bigger lense on my camera and try to get some great pics like these.

boneaddict · « **Reply #28 on:** November 13, 2009, 08:43:37 PM »

Thanks! Well the puking started early. Precisely when I had a moose at about 40 coming in.

PacificNWhunter · « **Reply #29 on:** November 13, 2009, 09:00:13 PM »

Yeah...he sure looks like and older buck. regressing?

boneaddict · « **Reply #31 on:** November 14, 2009, 07:10:33 AM »

Saw him again yesterday. He certainly is the dominant buck of the area

boneaddict · « **Reply #32 on:** November 14, 2009, 07:15:54 AM »

He looks like a bigger/older buck here...sorry for the grain, it was raining.
