Is droopy the deer or the drawing.    That deers rack is great for a BT.  Good luck this season.  Apples in Sept. might draw him in.

  i meant. Your drawing   droopy does look like a very nice buck!

Problem with apples is the area also has a ton of bears apples wouldn't last more than a few days at best.

Man thats a nice buck. You might want to consider buying a rifle tag this year to try and hunt the rut. Good luck with what ever you decide hope you get him this year.

I'm hoping to get the multi season tag.

I'll tell you guys straight up that are commenting on D-Rocks deer.....it is a BEAST!

With a naked eye at 200 yards, the distance I filmed from, he is impressive. Let alone up closer!

Yep....I would agree he is a OIL blackie. There is a story (ear), mass, height, points,  and a bit of a history with D-Rock and the deer.

I found the first film of droopy yesterday.  My first encounter with him was August 7 2009.  I filmed him from about 70 yards away while he was bedded.  He was a perfect 3x3 with little eye guards then.  I'm thinking with the 4 years since then he would have to be at least 6 or 7 years old now.

[h20hunter]

D....what do you have the film on? If I can get it on the pc we can upload to youtube then the forum.

Carefull though.....you gonna have some people following you to the gate.

ps. dear forum members.......for a price I can point you to the gate. Starting bid....lets say $1000

I really need the multi season tag now just looked in the game regs and saw a special permit for that area Nov 18-23 for modern.  I guess I need to get some rattling horns.

DRock, did you see any equipment moving in there when you went?  I pulled my cams because I feel like I have a pretty good idea what is moving around up there, but now there's some extra activity.  Not sure what impact this will have on the hunting.

Droopy also has a full eared twin up there that I've found on the cams... I'm not kidding either.  I hope someone gets him.

Not sure if you ever saw this thread, but check out both pages, I have pics on each... they have to be siblings or offspring of droopy.

Yeah I think they are going to be doing some logging shortly.   When I pull the camera ill let you know if you want to tag along with us.

I would love to if I'm around.  Gone often on weekends, but hit me up and I'll let you know.

I talked to some of the guys hauling equipment around, they said they are putting in a road first and foremost.  Not sure how long it takes to go from road building for logging, but I'd say that logging is probably a little ways off yet.
