giddeeup!!
i like the last 2 also. that very last buck is neat...tall like a muley.
northeast??

boneaddict · « **Reply #17 on:** June 18, 2007, 05:03:07 PM »

Yep, I hunted hard for those corkscrews but never found them. As MILES would agree, sometimes it just doesn't work out. Its amazing how many sheds I find of bucks I don't see, and how many I don't find that I do see.

jackelope · « **Reply #18 on:** June 18, 2007, 05:09:17 PM »

did you find the sheds off of the big boy in #9-10??
are they from after this past season? wonder if he's still walking around.

boneaddict · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2007, 05:14:05 PM »

I'm sure they are still walking around unless cougar intervened. Nope, no big whitetail sheds this year. I think the ground opened up and swallowed them. Lots of other folks out combing the woods, so maybe they are on a mantle somewhere.

Looks like a good candidate for eatin' and the rack aint shabby either!

PolarBear · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:17:16 PM »

Yep, I like that one too! He looks a lot like the bucks in my favorite area, which is probably only a few miles from where he got those pics. Maybe.

boneaddict · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:20:17 PM »

He would make a nice steak. He came in on a string almost instantly when I started rattling. Another one came in at the same time. Saw this fellow then turned straight away and walked off. I'm guessing he didn't want a piece of that action.

Pretty much my friend. You are all too familiar with these particular critters. You've got yourself a prime piece of realestate up there.

jackelope · « **Reply #23 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:30:27 PM »

what do you all think this buck would score??

boneaddict · « **Reply #24 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:34:16 PM »

I'm guessing about 155.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #25 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:39:34 PM »

I'd say it would net 130's. Might go 140's Gross but I doubt it. Still a good deer.

I am looking at the picture posted by Huntwa. Is this the only picture of this deer?

Had to have a loot at the other pictures of this buck. I'll have to agree with Boneaddict on this one.

jackelope · « **Reply #29 on:** June 19, 2007, 02:10:45 PM »

I thought this might be a 150" buck, but i'm a newb at guessing. glad i'm not too far off.

boneaddict · « **Reply #30 on:** June 19, 2007, 03:53:22 PM »

Basically, if you see him

Timber · « **Reply #31 on:** June 19, 2007, 09:25:06 PM »

Great pictures boneaddict. Those are some awesome bucks! If you have anymore let's see them.

boneaddict · « **Reply #32 on:** June 21, 2007, 10:28:12 AM »

I was going to post this one in the photography tips section. Always make sure you have at least 5 pictures on your roll if out taking pics. I took this one then ran out of film. I frantically had to re-load, and by the time I did, he was off to the brush. I spent about 20 minutes playing grab a$$ with him, but never got another goood pic.

What's film?

boneaddict · « **Reply #34 on:** June 21, 2007, 06:47:21 PM »

Yep, still old school sometimes with the camera.

WACATHUNTER · « **Reply #35 on:** June 21, 2007, 07:36:19 PM »

Great pics Bone!!! Thanks for sharing, your making me think I should've spent my points on one of those late whitey hunts.
WACAT

boneaddict · « **Reply #36 on:** June 22, 2007, 06:08:55 AM »

No need to spend extra points WACAT. 99% of these pics were taken during the general whitetail season. I have a couple more from year before last to post. I'm not sure where those guys go. It seems like when I pound it I hit everywhere, but apparantly not.

boneaddict · « **Reply #37 on:** July 30, 2007, 06:43:16 PM »

Heres a dead one that didn't survive the photoshoot. Took him with my contender. I ratled him in and he came barreling in and landed in the middle of a couple mulie does in front of me. Then he started circling me and all I could see was his antler tips. He finally lifted his head to look at me and I shot him. He disappeared and when I walked up to him, he was laying there. I couldn't find a bullet hole. Finally after searching (thought he might have scared to death or something, a drop of blood came out of his scent hole. The bullet went in, and closed back up. I'll see if I have anymore on my computer. I'm at work.

boneaddict · « **Reply #38 on:** July 30, 2007, 07:07:00 PM »

I hope I haven't posted these before....

boneaddict · « **Reply #39 on:** July 30, 2007, 07:07:45 PM »

This ones blurry. Sorry, no light.

boneaddict · « **Reply #40 on:** July 30, 2007, 07:14:38 PM »

Here is the story behind this one. I get set up in the exact location that I have rattled numerous bucks in, the three previous years. I have my camera on a tripod, and figure I'm about ready to go. I slam the antlers together and this guy bales out of the brush right in front of me. I can't move as he is right there grunting...searching. He moves by in front of me and goes behind a tree. I grab my camera off the tripod, but can't get a picture. I hear rubbing and thrashing, but can't see that this deer is moving. All of a sudden he whirls and bolts. I snap the picture. Right on his ass is the biggest whitetail I have ever seen. I scored him in my mind and he outscores the record book/world record by 10+ inches. I about crap my pants. This buck pictured looks absolutely TINY compared to this guy. He runs him clean out of the country. I try rattling, and all sorts of things, but I can't get him to come closer. I study him through the binos and see what I get. I spent the next several days trying to find this guy, and many miles on my truck and miles afoot to find his sheds but NOTHING. I figure its the largest whitetail I will ever see. I can't imagine one bigger unless its a weird non-typical. All I have out of the encounter is a blurry picture of the deer of a lifetime himself getting his ass kicked.

Once again, nice pictures boneaddict. It's too bad you didn't get a picture of that monster buck. I know we can take your word on the size of that guy though. I remember you talking about this place last fall. It sounds like an awesome spot to find some giants. If you're ever looking for a partner to take pictures with over there, let me know.

One of the reasons I love this site...all the great pics....thanks again!
