Could call him the "10-4" buck since he always shows up at 10:40 something.
Or "Time Traveler" since that camera is jumping forward in time to the year 2024 to capture those pictures :chuckle:
What a cool buck. I'd take him if I got the chance too. Hope to see what that rack looks like in your hands. Good luck!

Anybody think pictures 4 and 5 look like 2 different bucks?
I think you are right about that! Right eye guard that is split is missing on the one, and the left rear tine is pointing slightly different too. Could it be a daddy, and son combo? :dunno:

No, I have seen him out there several times. He's a one of a kind. Usually travels with a bachelor herd of smaller 3 points. I think the eyeguard just lined up behind the other one when he truned his head.

We had a friend who had a nice buck coming into their apple tree on a regular basis. They called him "Burgers". One year they failed to fill a tag so they made him into burgers on the last day of the season. A few years later another buck came into the yard and was living around the apple tree. They called him "Last Resort"! They also had a bear that would come by every once in awhile. His name was "Jimmy Dean" :chuckle:
Jimmy Dean, .... now I like that one. Put a smile on my face.

Jimmy Dean is a great name for a "meat buck". I am going to "save" that one. Last year's buck was a huge bodied old fella with a thick, compact rack. He would have made a great "Jimmy Dean". :tup:

Man ...please do not start giving our deer names ... I think that's so messed up :twocents: :dunno:
Oh come on! Have a little fun :chuckle:
We had a buck we chased a number of years we called "Michael Johnson". Every time we ever saw him he was running like a bat out of heck! If we saw him today he'd probably be named "Usain Bolt" instead ;)
We also had what we thought was a doe with horns in E. Oregon. So we called him/her "Dr. Frank N. Furter" :IBCOOL:
Naming the animals we see on a regular basis keeps clarity when we tell guys in our group what we saw on a given day. Makes sense to me :dunno:

Ive got a pair of cousins that name all their deer, one that comes to mind was Robo Buck, that buck was hit 5 times and traveled miles before being taken down....the shooter upgraded to a 7mm Mag, parked his .243 in the back of his dads gunsafeMan ...please do not start giving our deer names ... I think that's so messed up :twocents: :dunno:

Yeah, I guess I should have clarified at the start of the thread. I am not naming this deer to be cute, I am naming him for the purposes of identification when I am hunting/scouting. I can't even call him "That big 3 point", because of this guy (I named him Tripod, because all 3 of his points are the same length)...

"Ubiquitous"
or
"Ubiquitous Tráyas" - Ubiquitous-meaning Widespread and Tráyas-meaning Three
That's a cool name Rad, but he's not really that wide. I think maybe 23 inches at the most. Tripod is actually has a wider spread.

The SH4 Buck

I pulled down my cams the day I started this thread, so no more trailcam pics. I am headed out tomorrow morning for a spotting session. Fingers crossed...

I vote for Sausage or Pepperoni
Like I said before, I didn't want to give him a "meat" name because that sounds like I know I am going to kill him. Never a "done deal" where I hunt.
...Don't want to jinx myself...

Any luck? I WANT UPDATES! :chuckle:
Saw Cletus and Tripod yesterday morning for about 15 minutes. We are not hunting until rifle season.
I have pulled all my trail cams out of the area, because every time I went to go check them I was bumping bedded deer and I didn't want to permanently blow them out of the area. I have a glassing point that I hike to where I can look from about a mile away. They were with another 3x3 that looked pretty good. I think this is the year of the 3-points in my area. All the best bucks I have seen are 3 points.
The bad news is that PathfinderJR has a Cross Country meet on opening day of deer season this year. I will hunt opening day, but he will have to wait until evening to get out there. These bucks will be a lot harder to find a few hours after the shooting starts. Good thing JR's in shape. He's probably going to have to burn some boot leather to find them...
