Title: This buck is driving me nuts!
Post by: bow4elk on November 27, 2008, 02:47:52 PM: This old boy has been giving me fits but it's still nice to get him on camera because I know he made it through gun season. He appears to have taken a tine to the eye during a fight. I've got his sheds from last year and I hope I can prevent him from getting the chance to drop these. If I don't get him this year, he should be a porker next fall :drool:

Thats what I was going to say. I wouldn't want to see him again next year, this year up close would be fine!

Would you be able to edit the original post to include a pic of the sheds?
It's always fun to see the progression.

Title: Re: This buck is driving me nuts!
Post by: bow4elk on November 29, 2008, 10:52:19 PM: This dude is nocturnal 100%. I'm not sure how I'll get a crack at him.
Title: Re: This buck is driving me nuts!
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on November 29, 2008, 10:59:20 PM: Well you know where he is at night. Now start looking for where he is during the day. :chuckle:

Post by: Black Ghost on November 30, 2008, 06:32:26 PM: I think we all know where he is during the daylight, unfortunately like most monsters it's do damn thick, he'll see you or smell you before you get a chance to even get in the neighborhood! Good luck!

You could tell me where he is and I'll chase him to you :dunno: :chuckle:
Title: Re: This buck is driving me nuts!
Post by: bow4elk on November 30, 2008, 09:43:48 PM: Gee, thanks for all the offers to help but no thanks...I like beating my friggin' head like this :bash: :bash: :bash: Maybe he'll get his other eye poked next fall and I find him bumping into trees.

To add salt to the wounds, another good buck walked past another cam three times on opening day...all during daylight hours. Good thing I was 3/4 mile away passing up forkies that Charlie wouldn't even let walk :chuckle:

Post by: Hacksaw on December 02, 2008, 12:52:41 PM: Awesome blacktail. I know the frustration of having a big buck like this show up only after dark. Sometimes I think those big bucks just want to turn, smile into the camera, and flip you off. Anyway, keep at it and I hope that big boy makes a mistake for you.

Post by: sdwwaverider on December 03, 2008, 12:36:10 PM: Hey Tom break out the salt & apples, watch the wind and sneak up on his right side. :chuckle: Good Luck, he's going to be worth it when you connect.

I caved in and took a decently wide and heavy fork horn so I could hunt elk. He'll be there next year and I plan on hunting rifle season with my bow to have more rut influence. With a poked out eye and the rut, maybe - just maybe - I'll get a leg up on him :chuckle:

Post by: Titan-1 on December 14, 2008, 12:51:58 PM: Nice buck, I have a nice one I've been after for two years now. I'm new to the site but I'll try to post a pic of him right now. good luck getting yours.

What the %&*$ do you think I've been thinking about 24/7 for the past two weeks ;) Can't wait to walk some of my spots and see what might be laying around. It's thick as all get out but I know they will be there somewhere.
