Last Seen Dead...On Here.

[Swiftkid]

Have any of you guys scouted a public area or even private area and seen a nice buck or elk before or during the season and couldn't shoot it or just passed on it, then the next time you see it's posted on the forum by a member who shot the animal or has a picture of it.

[Ripper]

I've never seen a post by a dead member. That I know of anyway.

Not a dead member a dead dear

OK........I'm lost.  The answer to the question for me would be no.

Ive seen members post pictures of an animal before it was killed by yet another member of this site. I think once or twice

I passed a lot of bucks on my late hunt and then saw the harvest pics on here the next year of two of them.

Passed a small bear opening day of spring bear last year,  and saw it posted on here.... it was killed on the same logging road I passed it on...

Yeah, last year I was bear hunting with some buddies up in the Colville area and took some really crappy (disposable camera) photos of a moose.  He was very distinctive; just a hair under 50" we figured, with super long tines in the back of his paddles that looked like upside down icicles.  We watched him at about 50 yds on 2 separate occasions for over 30 minutes.
About a month later someone came on this site with harvested pictures of him.  (I can't remember who it was). 

Also, we had a "pet monster" bull up at our elk camp that none of us could ever draw a tag for.  We all had seen him and figured he would go about 400".  Last year a guy posted a muzzleloader killed bull from the same unit that he said went 396", and I was pretty sure it was him (would have had to see the rack from another angle to be sure).  This year, "Growly" was no where to be found, and I don't think anyone found his sheds.

Good to see that a few people figured out what the post was meaning to say.

My partner got a text of a deer I put a stalk on in early archery and was killed in general rifle... Not too depressed though.  It would have been a nice first archery deer, but was only about 23" wide 3 pt with short backs.  But still

It didn't happen to me but it happened with two bruiser whitetail last year on here. One of them was the highest scoring nontypical killed in the state for the 2010 season (at least that we know of) and the other was a buck that the Alwine crew killed and then someone posted trailcam pics of the brute a couple days later asking what he would score.

The second one you refered to was me!! I got trailcam pics of a big whitetail.....I posted the pics to see how wide people thought the buck might be, after a couple of replys someone posted a pic of Alwine and his buddy holding him Dead!!!      And with an accurate inside measurement... 26 inches!!  Heck of a buck!! 

I also know the guy who killed the first Buck you refered to!!  Im sure the guy who got pics of that buck only to have someone else kill him will be depressed for years to come about what could have been...
Didnt that buck score just over 218??

While bow hunting true spike in the Colockum, I video'd a monster bull elk.  Later on through the Fall, I saw the "Permit" holder post a pic of it Dead.  I was pretty sad to see that monster dead....But Good for that "permit" holder

 Man I agree...that was one heck of a buck! I couldn't remember who it was but I do remember them coming back with the exact dimensions. 

 I don't know what the buck grossed but he is in the B&C record book with an official net score of 208 4/8. Gib was going to try and put me in contact with the hunter so I could write the story but I am guessing the hunter wasn't interested.

You kill a buck yet?
