Bone, you saw him on the hoof, how much do you think he weighed?

boneaddict · « **Reply #6 on:** January 15, 2012, 07:59:14 PM »

You guys have seen this fella before. He was is last years calender. This was where I first spotted him. Didn't even need to see bones. He was huge.

boneaddict · « **Reply #7 on:** January 15, 2012, 08:00:33 PM »

350 probably.

Check out his feet. Every once in awhile I find one of those tracks.

DoubleJ · « **Reply #11 on:** January 15, 2012, 08:14:15 PM »

If you ever see a small blinking red light under your vehicle, it's nothing, and definitely NOT a GPS tracking device. Just leave it alone

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2012, 08:20:00 PM »

Yeah... I'd like to retain four or five psychics and just have them sit in his truck for a bit... Would be money well spent!

boneaddict · « **Reply #33 on:** December 05, 2012, 07:28:07 PM »

Does seem like there was a little buck there but as you can guess I wasn't paying to much attention to him

jrod · « **Reply #34 on:** December 05, 2012, 07:33:56 PM »

Wonder what that sob would tip out at? 270lbs?

A conservative 325+ without seeing him in person. -From a few photos of him in his prime of the year. He looks like one solid buck. My buck this year was certainly years younger, 165 on the hook at the butcher, (duh, beheaded/gutted/skinned), which is respectable in my book. But he wasn't near as wide or as chisseled as that bruiser/tank. A buck taken by my nephew a few years ago in my same area was over 220 on the hook at the butcher and we put him at close to 300 on the hoof. Still not near as wide or chisseled at this guy. (sux not to have a scale in the field but who's gonna carry extra weight?) I've never been present weighing a buck (on the hoof), that looks like a stud that this tank is. I'd gander he might even one of the largest bucks that Doug has seen.

boneaddict · « **Reply #36 on:** December 06, 2012, 07:12:57 AM »

I think this is the second or third biggest deer I have seen. (body, not antlers) I'll have to see if I can find more pics of him. I think it was pre digitial. One of my most notable bucks. I saw him for several years. He was a cool buck. Weights of deer are like bear guesses I suppose. Everyone guesses theirs to be 300, so to say a buck is 350, probably means little, so you almost have to trump it up.

boneaddict · « **Reply #37 on:** December 06, 2012, 07:18:10 AM »

The biggest (body) deer was one I saw just before dark one rainy day. Idabooner and I were headed home at a pretty good pace though we were still on dirt. I caught a deer out of the corner of my eye down over the hill in a small clearing. I KNEW instantly it was a giant buck. I backed up and there stood what looked like a hereford bull. BIG OLE buck, 32 ish probably, but what stands out in my mind was his size. I tried and tried to get a pic but it wasn;t working. First day with a new lens and it was too slow, too dark. I ahd a canon AE-1 and a 600mm mirrored lens. Did not hand hold at all. I set up the tripod and he was gone. I WISH I would have just stared at him throuhg my binos. I got my old smaller lens and went after him. I bumped a subordinate buck that was a big non typ 8x8 or something like that. Never did catch them on film. It was just too dark. At that moment in time I knew I needed to invest in some camera equipment.

I hope you realize how much you bring to Hunt WA. THANK YOU!

Thanks Packmule, thats very nice!

boneaddict · « **Reply #40 on:** December 06, 2012, 08:13:04 AM »

I would like to have seen this guy in November. He had a big body on him but was in the middle of a tuff winter here. Sort of debating in my head if this is the same buck as the one skylined ealier "Tank" a couple years earlier or this was Dad to Tank.

Uh...

Biggest 'deer' I ever saw was down south of Trout Lake. I'll call her a benchleg doe. At first look I thought she was a cow elk. And I took several looks at her to make sure! But doe's don't chissle out like a really mature buck does. Doug has had (or made) opportunity to find some of the biggest or bigger bucks than most all of us will ever see and put them to film/photo. I appreciate the heck out of that, that he shares them with us for free! I'm the first guy to admire horn porn, but a big boddied deer is just something we all need to respect.

Best camera ever made....best being evolutionary, sound, etc.

I sold mine with the 600 lens to buy an A2-E with a 400 5.6 Sigma. Took alot of pics with that camera right on the verge of digital. BIG MISTAKE selling tha AE-1. I lucked out and a guy gave me one. YEAH! I haven't had the chance to play much with it, but just having one makes me HAPPY
