Title: Which would you shoot?
Post by: lokidog on September 23, 2013, 11:12:07 PM: In the back yard.

Post by: lokidog on September 23, 2013, 11:15:08 PM: Actually, it's a no brainer for the amount of meat, but I wonder if I should take the skinny one out before he dies this winter anyways. He does not look good. The second one, on the other hand, has at least 50 pounds of meat on him from past experience. My daughter wants to try to shoot a buck this year with the ML, he might be a backup if we can't find another one outside of the yard.

Weird how one is so skinny and the other is fat

Post by: lokidog on September 23, 2013, 11:28:02 PM: The one is definitely a younger animal, but he is so skinny it looks like there is something wrong with him. :dunno:

Isnt that food right infront of his face?
I guess just stick him and use those nice straight horns for a knife handle or toilet paper roll holder.

Post by: Fowlweather25 on September 24, 2013, 10:38:35 AM: im thinking either tooth problems or parasites. Plenty of feed right now. :twocents:

There's no CWD in WA that I am aware of.

Could be worms, he seems to be able to eat the apples just fine, so I don't think he has tooth problems.

Post by: Mike450r on September 24, 2013, 11:17:33 AM: It'll be fine, shoot the fat one that keeps eating all the good grub and pushing little skinny dear around. Next year he will be the fat buck.
Title: Re: Which would you shoot?
Post by: deltaops on September 24, 2013, 11:19:40 AM: I would shoot the fat one, he keeps stealing the skinny ones food. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Which would you shoot?
Post by: pianoman9701 on September 24, 2013, 11:21:03 AM: The fat one. But then again if this year's elk hunt is any indicator, I'd probably miss! :bash:

You might be on to something.... :chuckle:
Title: Re: Which would you shoot?
Post by: Bill W on September 24, 2013, 11:43:53 AM: I'd shoot the big one and put some extra food (or medicine) out for the skinny one.

That is some funny stuff right there.

Shoot whichever one gives you the best shot, and then shoot again if you are Pman.

Post by: Hunterman on September 24, 2013, 01:58:52 PM: The little dude was already for the dunnier table. Complete with the apple in his mouth.

Post by: jrebel on September 24, 2013, 02:03:45 PM: Shoot the fat one and let the little one have more food. I have seen this before with domestic animals......the fat ones will guard their food like fort knox guards gold. :chuckle: Kill the fat one and see if my theory is correct.
Title: Re: Which would you shoot?
Post by: jackmaster on September 24, 2013, 03:12:26 PM: go to the feed store and get some deworming medicine and put it in an apple, maybe he just has worms :dunno: the bigger 2pt is gonna be a fat one thats for sure, he probably beats up on the little dude and thats why he cant put on weight :chuckle: he is always runnin from the bully :chuckle:

Sorry man, it was low hanging fruit, easy pickens. I am sure you will do better in the late season.

Post by: ICEMAN on September 24, 2013, 06:31:02 PM: Both. It is the fair thing to do.

Get two shooters and knock them both down. Thank the good lord for blessing you with two deer.
