Non-Typicals!

HOW ABOUT THIS GUY.......THIS WAS A SHOT ON THE ARIZONA AND CALORADO BORDER......THIS BEAST SCORED AT 240" B&C

[popeshawnpaul]

Yeah, I almost ended up representing Bankwalker's friend who was charged with Manslaughter 1st degree on the shooting death of his friend.  It's a really sad case and I hope the best of luck to him.  In the end, I'm a private lawyer and I can do no true service to a guy without resources to adaquetely represent him.

I did get a degree in wildlife management.  I was doing photography at the time through college and started working fort he USFS.  I remember being out in the woods by myself measuring trees and evaluating habitat.  It didn't take me long to realize that I needed to take a different route if I was to truly have an impact on wildlife management.  The plan was to try law school one year and then decide what I wanted to do with my life.  I ended up getting really good grades so I couldn't stop going to law school.  I think the plan was to work for Weyerhauser or the army core of engineers or something.  While I may do that in the future, I think I've found a niche where I'm at and enjoy the hours and flexible time off.  So no, I don't use my degree really at this point Jay.  Maybe in the future.

Oh, I'll try and post a few more non-typicals when I get home later.

Sounds like you went to school for the long-haul.  I'm a graduate student studying wildlife ecology here at WSU.  That's why I was curious which direction you ended up going.  I really like it, fun jobs, pay isn't all that great but at least i'll enjoy it.  I'll stick it out for awhile and see how it turns out.

[popeshawnpaul]

There is also the great hunting around WSU, which is reason enough to stick around.  When I was at WSU/UI, I decided to live in Moscow and then I bought the lifetime hunting license.  Now it costs me nothing to apply for moose/sheep/goat/deer/elk every year as I get a free license in the mail every year.

Oh, we called this buck piggy.  Not quite sure why.  8 points on his right side and 7 on his left.  I think he has an 8th on his left side but I'm not quite sure it's 1"...close.  He was really beat up from the rut.  Lost part of his right ear and looks like he took some body pounding.  I got a rear picture of this buck somewhere on here. 

Oh Bone, I think you are right.  I think it's Buckrun.  We helped with some stuff out there.  Big bucks sitting in corn fields...  More pheasants than you would believe...  I think I slept in the guys garage?

[Cougeyes]

Wow, you have some impressive photos, I wish I knew of some honey holes where bucks like that hung out, either in state or out of state.  Nice work

[Shannon]

I think this would qualify.

[Shannon]

Or these.

[Shannon]

In case there was any doubt, no they are not from Washington

Those wall mounts look like wood carvings unless you have a reliable source for them I would question it.

I was gonna ask if they were actual or repro's.  No offense intended.

Pope- it is likely Area 209 Buckrun. The guys last name is Hanson that owns all of it. They have some oinkers out there.

ive seen 2 non-typical blacktails. one i was so suprised and a forgot to shoot it.

the other was actually a skull and horns. it was a 2x5 with 2 drop tines on the 5 side. and my uncle wouldnt let me take the smelly thing in his truck. NOT EVEN IN THE BED. so i left it sitting on the stump so i can have my dad pick it up. and right as we went over the hill these 2 guys came rolling up really fast and grabbed it. they must have seen me pick it up and set it down from across the clearcut.

THe last non-typical blacktail I saw, I think Red Dawg shot him.  So much for finding those sheds.

[Skyvalhunter]

That's one thing I haven't seen alot of for blacktails is a non-typical. Having hunted blacktails all my life I can't remember seeing any real odd balled horn configurations. I did shoot this small 2-point buck mule deer the year before the east side went to 3 point or better. I belive the deer had an old injury as it's left antler grew down around by it's mouth. Was a good meat buck.
