2011 quality swakane bucks
« on: January 15, 2012, 08:34:09 PM »
Here is a few pics of my buddie and his familys late quality swakane bucks. His buck is the big one he grossed in low 170s they hunted hard the whole season before all pulling trigger on the last few days.

Does the guy in the bottom pic happen to work at a metal scrap yard out of span away or near there?

Great looking deer.  Glad they were all able to tag out.  The kid with the big one was a trooper he was in the brush chasing deer everytime we ran into those guys.  The guy in the last photo was the only one that had a deer when we talked to them.  Congrats to all three on a great hunt. :tup:

\This is the only one I saw in person and it had matching in lines, you can see the one on the right side of the deer in this photo, the othe side matched it.  As I recall it was a fairly close shot in the brush.  The other two deer hadn't been taken yet when I last talked to these guys.
