Idaho Bruiser!
« on: November 21, 2010, 03:00:29 PM »
Not much to say other than you gotta love the rut!  This was the first I've seen of this buck as he was coaxed out of his hiding hole and was chasing a doe...  I hope everyone is having a great fall and I'm looking forward to the WA archery season getting underway.

Thanks, with limited hunting time this year I couldn't ask for anything better.  Any guesses on the green score?  Gross of course, nets are for fish.

Wow, nice buck Hoythunter, can you give us a shot of him "head on".  What's he have for a spread? 

Were you still hunting, in a stand, rattling, grunting, etc. ?  Details PLEASE! 

Great job.

I know...I got carried away...don't worry won't be heading to Idaho anytime soon. :chuckle:

Just curious moreso, I tried all the whitetail tricks last week, had a nice buck show up right after I tilted my Primos doe can call but can't say if it was a coincidence or by design...he was already on a doe.  Needed about two more seconds to get a good shot and those two seconds never came.  

God I want a nice whitetail!!!

Bornforhorns - good questions; here is the only "head on" pic I got.  As you can see he isn't very wide, 15 8/7".  I've been having good success with rattling up until this past weekend.  I tried rattling my favorite spot Saturday a.m. with no luck; this guy came out of the thick, doghair timber in the afternoon directly after a doe.  He appeared to be running her pretty hard but I wasn't waiting around to see much more.  In fact, all I really got was a brief look at his G2 as he was running thru the brush and I knew he was a shooter buck, once he presented himself with a clean body shot I took it and was ecstatic once I walked up to him because he exceeded all my expectations (no ground shrinkage for once!) once I got a hold of his head gear.

THANKS!  I think he's even more awesome now! 

That's a picture I'll store away as something to set a goal towards.  I have some nice muleys but you got what I've really desired the last couple years.  I would love to put a Washington tag on a deer with that character.

Great job!  I assume your getting him mounted?  Awesome pictures. 

My favorite post this year.

He looks a lot wider than 15 in the picture?  Is that inside the main beams?
