I'm legal
« on: November 06, 2010, 08:39:24 AM »
I wonder how many folks would pull the trigger without confirming that third point.   Another buck re-visited.  He was a bit bigger last year.  He had a little more mass and was a little wider.

I've seen a couple like that in the Methow, without eye guards. Probably died of old age as a huge 2 point. I tried real hard to put a third point on both of them. I thought a real wide, heavy 2 point would look cool on the wall. I saw another one like that in the Paseyton a few years ago, too.

About 3 years ago I seen a big 2 point just like this one out by wilbur on my bro-in-laws property. I sat there trying to grow a 3rd point it for nearly 2o minutes. It never did grow. Nice pics!!!

My son and I watched one like that south of Twisp for nearly 20 minutes.  Skylighted.  Not even a bump of an eye guard....
Boy was he big.... :bash:

I've seen two big huge bodied 2 points but they did not have eyeguards.  This one at least can be taken out of the gene pool, the ones I saw are still in the gene pool.  Shoot him!

Well when my dad and I draw a permit I will surely let my dad shoot it! He would love that big 2!

I almost wish I had used my permit on a big two.  I think I came to the conclusion if I could have closed the gap and got a shot withthe bow I would have.

With the eye guards, I'd pull the trigger, would just be a bonus that he had a third.  But thats me, I want the meat, dont care about a trophy.

a big mature 2pt is just as much of a trophy to me as a big 5x5. as a big 2pt you have to be lucky enough to make it through all the "big rack shoot first, must be legal to have that big of a rack" type of hunters.


takes alot of get big weather its a 2pt or a 5x5 and stay alive these days with the odds stacked against them.

We have seen many of these on our place too.  When the rules select for these guys, even if the heritability is low (it is not), the change is fast.  Kind of like a tall narrow whitetail, I like these guys, but natural selection it is not.
