Title: Anacortes buck
Post by: Skillet on October 15, 2014, 08:45:26 AM: This guy frequents my bro's backyard in Anacortes. Just a forkie, but I really dig the bases on him.

If his property was just a little bigger...

Been watching this deer grow over the last few years. I may try to get an antler catcher set up this winter. Would love to see how big those bases are now.

Post by: Skillet on October 15, 2014, 10:55:44 AM: :chuckle: pretty small back yard with a steep cliff right below it - would need a bowfishing setup with SS cable on the spool to keep him from going where I couldn't get him. Or an old whaling harpoon.

You know I was thinking that! If you can't hunt him there, at least maybe you can find those sheds.

That's hilarious, can you imagine how that would go!

We usually hear a story about some one trying to go sneaky pete and shoot one with a bow.... Normally just a bad shot with a big deer running around with an arrow hanging out of it. :'(

Post by: washelkhntr on October 15, 2014, 05:06:38 PM: I took this shot today about 11 am 3 blocks from the Anacortes post office. :)

He had a doe bedded down not less than five feet from him. Love is in the air.

Get yourself an apple/corn barge Loki and beach it, and they will come. ;)

Post by: Smokepole on October 15, 2014, 06:45:42 PM: A friend of mine in Anacortes has had a 4-point tearing the bark off his trees and shrubs. The tracks in the beauty bark were hefty, and they sunk in the dirt a good 3-4". I've been trying to figure out how to let the air out of him without waking up the neighbors! :chuckle:
