Title: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: Palmer on November 18, 2008, 09:17:06 PM: Here are some bucks we harvested from NE WA and Idaho.
Title: Re: '08 NE Bucks
Post by: Palmer on November 18, 2008, 09:20:02 PM: Another photo of the 4 point. It was about 5 yo and weighed 147#s at the butchers so maybe 250 on the hoof. We had 5 tags and harvested 5 bucks - 2x3, two 4 pts, and two 5 pts. It turned out to be my best year with my Father.

I shouldn't have agreed to set my buck next to his. :P My dad has been battling cancer since last spring and wasn't doing too well this season, but he shot his biggest blacktail in 46 years of hunting 'em. It was the best medicine you could have given him.

Title: Re: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 08, 2009, 10:24:33 PM: well I was after a large 4 point at the time and I thought it was him since he was running at 400 yards. He stopped and I dumped him

That happened to me in '91 up in Colville. Was watching two bucks on a powerline at 300 yards at first light. Big one on the left, little one on the right. Dialed the scope down to 3X to shoot and I guess they switched places... When I walked up to him I thought "man, that's a lot of ground shrinkage", then I looked up and the other deer was staring at me 50 yards back in the timber... Oh, well, the "little" one was still a nice 5X6 (counting eyegards).

Here's my 9 year old with his first buck, and my Blue Mountain mulie, both from this year.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 15, 2009, 01:20:22 PM: Ok, that's the one you were talking about on the "Tape is Cruel" thread. I would have probably scored him 170-180 on the hoof too. GREAT deer. Hope you're not disappointed he didn't hit 180" :chuckle:

Post by: hogsniper on January 15, 2009, 01:49:32 PM: Who really cares about score anyway.....I would love to shoot a buck like this every year....

Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 15, 2009, 02:46:49 PM: agreed, on both points. He's bigger than any than I have ever harvested. Congrats.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 16, 2009, 04:21:11 AM: OK, that is the final straw. I am going to start putting in for MT. :bash:
Title: Re: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: Skyvalhunter on January 16, 2009, 05:08:54 AM: yea then find some private land to hunt
Title: Re: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 16, 2009, 05:36:02 AM: From what I hear, it will take 4 to 5 years to get drawn for deer in MT anyway. By that time I might be able to find some land to hunt on...
Title: Re: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: Skyvalhunter on January 16, 2009, 05:54:16 AM: not sure about the 4 or 5 year gig as it depends on how lucky you are. Some guys draw every year, and if you know someone that has land then go with the landowner sponsored one but then you must only hunt on their property. That will up your odds.
Title: Re: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 16, 2009, 05:58:32 AM: Hmmm... good to know. Thanks for the advice. I am going to try an antelope hunt there this fall (if I can get drawn-better odds than deer, I hear). If I can get permission for antelope somewhere, and I don't put a bullet through the guy's barn, maybe I can talk him into deer hunting another year...
Title: Re: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: fire*guy on January 16, 2009, 06:53:52 PM: I've had very good luck getting drawn for Montana the last few years. If I didn't get drawn I applied on the alts. list and got my tags that way. Being drawn from the alts list worked out better for me as I didn't lose my points and I received my buck tag :IBCOOL:.
Also you don't need to hunt private land to bag a nice buck. My Buck was taken on BLM, also there is alot of block management areas in Mont.

Title: Re: '08 Bucks Let's see em'
Post by: Fishpimp on January 17, 2009, 09:07:51 PM: it was a good year for my family. my wife and son both started hunting this season. my son shot a whitetail with a massive body but a small rack and my wife shot a nice little whitetail. i shot a buck with 4 horns, i posted it on here last week.{ and i shot 2 bear but that is another story. }the best part of this season was sharing hnting with my family. they have always been outdoors with me and have seen me shoot stuff but to get them into it was great. they are both very excited for next year.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 17, 2009, 10:21:18 PM: Congrats Dad! No feeling in the world like seeing the youngsters take their first. Man, that thing does have a body like a hefer, doesn't it?
