Title: Drew late rifle grayback
Post by: huntinkid20 on June 19, 2013, 06:43:10 PM: Pretty excited 3 of us drew the tag. Not the biggest bucks in the state but should be a great hunt with some good scouting and hard hunting! I know weather will play a big role to get the big boys to come down. Ive spent quite a bit of time in the area both hunting and hiking and know it fairly well. That being said, i wouldnt turn down a PM with any tips or info :chuckle:

In the meantime lets see your late Grayback Bucks!
ill start with an archery buck

Post by: EDT on June 24, 2013, 09:03:33 PM: OK, teach me what "benchleg" means. I assume "benchleg blackie" is just cross between mulies and blacks, but idk. Educate me, turn my ignorance into knowledge! :)
Title: Re: Drew late rifle grayback
Post by: dr.derek on June 24, 2013, 09:27:54 PM: Ive been eyeing that tag.
Title: Re: Drew late rifle grayback
Post by: tmike on June 26, 2013, 12:19:42 PM: My dad shot that buck. He was hiking out of a canyon, cut through a switchback on a jeep trail and jumped it in about 3 feet of grass. Scored right around 155.

That is exactly what it means. Perfectly on the border of where blacktails end and mulies begin. If you head west from there they are considered Columbian blacktail and if you head east, barrelnecked mulies. If you get snow up high, some guys shoot the muley looking bucks that come out of the mountains, the guys that hunt lower land tend to get those stubnosed blackies.

Post by: get one leakin on June 30, 2013, 09:32:28 PM: Tommy gun Nice buck. Dark and heavy eye guards. Id say that's a typical top end really nice buck for Grayback. They kill bigger here each year and I have myself, but IMO that type of buck is one you don't pass opening day to the end, late buck or especially general season here. I love those black horned mountain bucks

Post by: get one leakin on June 30, 2013, 09:36:42 PM: And hey carp keep those sage brush bucks outta the grayback thread :chuckle:
Title: Re: Drew late rifle grayback
Post by: carpsniperg2 on June 30, 2013, 10:07:12 PM: HEY! There is one or 2 oak tree's around :chuckle:

I seem to remember your little bro mashing a big sage brush buck that got lost over there :chuckle:
Title: Re: Drew late rifle grayback
Post by: get one leakin on June 30, 2013, 10:23:11 PM: Maybe I will try to find a pic of that thing to put on here... That was a mountain buck born and bred... He seriously hasn't hunted since he shot it, says hes retired...
