Nice!  Looks like the legend of blue creek has finally been taken!  He has put a few extra points on his head since we first saw him a few years back.

Title: Re: Late foothills droptine
Post by: bigfish51 on November 21, 2014, 07:15:51 PM
I was hoping that he would make it to next year and that I would get the foothills tag again.  I'm pretty sure there will be a bunch of off spring running around for sometime with his genetics.  That buck sure kept a bunch of does close by!  Old man Bob will be happy to hear that the legend is down for the count.  He sure didn't like the attention the he brought to the area!

Title: Re: Late foothills droptine

I heard there is another one though, most likely his offspring.

Post by: jackelope on November 21, 2014, 07:23:51 PM

I heard there is another one though, most likely his offspring.

I've heard the same.
Title: Re: Late foothills droptine
Post by: bigfish51 on November 21, 2014, 07:27:18 PM
Yours could be an offspring too?  When we saw him 2 years ago, he had 2 drop tines on one side and 1 on the other.  Everything else looked like this one, junk here and there.  We saw one of his kids taken that same year, but very young.  When we last saw him, he was holding 15 - 20 does in his court.  There will be more like him over the next few years!  Good job!
Title: Re: Late foothills droptine
Post by: stew pidasso on November 21, 2014, 07:31:11 PM
I've seen 4 and know of 5 total sheds. None of which had a drop on the left side except this year.
 This was him last year.
Title: Re: Late foothills droptine
Post by: stew pidasso on November 21, 2014, 07:34:01 PM
This year
Title: Re: Late foothills droptine
Post by: bigfish51 on November 21, 2014, 07:36:21 PM
Nice to have the pics from last year.  My bad, as I know the sheds from the buck that I am speaking of we're picked up this spring.  Still packing the double and single drops then.  Yours is definitely a different buck, but very much from the same general gene pool and area.
Title: Re: Late foothills droptine
Post by: idahohuntr on November 21, 2014, 07:36:43 PM
What day did you kill him?  11/10 was the last night I had him on my camera.
Title: Re: Late foothills droptine
Post by: stew pidasso on November 21, 2014, 07:39:23 PM
I got him the morning of the 10th. So you probably have his last picture

Stud buck congrats dude way to get the masher next to some spuds, ,pun intended!  :drool:

Hopefully a stud like that was taking Viagra to keep all the ladies happy!

Yes I would shoot that over a 180" typical muley!  :chuckle:

How can a deer change from the last live picture to thus in one year?

Sure its not an offspring of his?  :dunno:

Awesome buck! Know what was up with his neck? Can see in last years pic his fur was open and this years he has a scar/bulge in the same spot. Someone take a neck shot on him and it not work?

I thought it was his winter coat shedding off but it may be a bullet. As far as I know I'm the only one to get a shot off at him. I did hear where one muzzy hunter had him dead to rights and his primer or powder didn't go off. I bet he hunts modern now.
