I have seen a big buck "interesting enough" never the same one, in this spot for almost 20 years. This was this years version. Lots more of him to come. I had him within 20 yards for almost 45 minutes. I kept switching to my smaller lens so I could get full body shots of him he was so close. I finally left so I could pursue some other deer. THAT was FUN!

Hey Doug, that's an incredible buck as always. Do you have a side veiw of that guy's head? Not sure why but looking at his face he looks like a young buck to me? What say you?

boneaddict · « **Reply #7 on:** November 11, 2010, 06:42:14 AM »

The point of my ramblings.....He was in the neighbor"hood" and I am running out of names.

I have lots of views of him from one sphincter to the other.

I'm thining maybe a 5

year old. He's got a little growing to do.

I want to visit that "hood"...damn ...

boneaddict · « **Reply #9 on:** November 11, 2010, 06:58:37 AM »

I am seriously hoping I have some great shots of this guy. My photos take so dang long to download. Smoke is coming out of my harddrive from all these photos.
When I first found him it was foggy. I was torqued as I had spent several hours after a BIG one and never got a pic becasue of the fog. I was right on the fog line with this guy and LUCK was on my side. It would come and go and my shutter was firing.

teanawayslayer · « **Reply #10 on:** November 11, 2010, 07:01:07 AM »

the price you pay when you take as good as photo's as you do. Well worth it. Thanks for all your hard work.

Well if you think he's got growing to do, I'd sure love to have the late permit for that area next year!

I'll bet.

That body is Ginormous.
Ok! I'll show my ignorance. Being a previous flatlander and whitetail hunter I hope this doesn't sound to stupid. But are the mulies more tolerant of human presence? I have had lots of close encounters with whitetail deer, but never for 20 minutes, usually just fraction of a second.

boneaddict · « **Reply #15 on:** November 12, 2010, 07:44:09 AM »

Only when they are rutted up. You essentially can't beat them off the doe. If you don't scare the doe, then you won't scare the buck. That is why they are so vulnerable during the rut and why rut hunts really knock out the big boys. Sure its fun to have the tag in your pocket but.....

Now you can work this to your advantage too as sometimes the does are trying to get the bucks away from them and will try to come camp in your pocket. Its all about reading them. Just like reading people. There are all kinds.

Great pic Bone. That might be my favorite buck you've posted.

boneaddict · « **Reply #17 on:** November 12, 2010, 08:05:25 AM »

Thanks. I'll try to get some more of him up soon. I loved him as well.

Just give the GPS Loc and I will be your beacon. I promise I will let you hold them if I find em.

Just dont tell 509er or Antlerking. They are viscious. They find more horns than a trained dog.

boneaddict · « **Reply #31 on:** November 16, 2010, 11:49:29 AM »

Thanks. I also ran into him about a week later. He was with the solo wolf. I thought I was going to see some action. I had cut the wolf track, and was tromping along in the fresh snow. I spotted Hood, and was shooting, then another buck. They both had their doe. The hood was about 3 minutes from mounting, then imagine he would have taken over the smaller guys deer. Then all of a sudden two does came streaking through the bunch going MACH5....ALL OUT. I was expecting a wolf on their ass. The deer scattered. Then 5 minutes passes and everyone continued on. I have no idea what caused the does to come streaking through.

Thanks guys

Wow, amazing pics as usual. That rack looks awesome, but still all I can think when I look at those pics is "How many steaks/roasts could I make out of a deer that size?!"
