Spent most of the day yesterday in Idabooners neighborhood and didn't even get to stop to say Hi. The alarm was set for 4 am but the Mrs decided that was too early so we left at 8 :yike: The Ice wasn't exactly any fun driving half way across the state. It was a day to be spent together cross country skiing. NOT looking for wildlife.
I may not have been looking for them but that didn't stop me from accidentally seeing a couple

We finished with a little light left and I am like lets go look for some wildlife. ;) Like a particular deer I wanted to see again. On the renegades haven't butchered yet.
Look who I found. My big lens is TOAST, so I was shooting withthe Panny, and also my spotting scope. Somebody tell me how wide they think he is.

Jeez Bone- I wanna think 30". I dont know if he makes it though. he is pushing it real hard though.
-
29 , Thats a dandy buck. Nice pics Doug.
-
J.C.--- He has got some hellacious fronts. My god. He is a dandy bone
-
Hey Doug, Ill drive when can we go shed hunting. Ill even throw in a fifth of your favorite whiskey lets go man.
-
:chuckle: I am thinking 31. I'll le tyou know when I find his sheds. Hes a good 23 ear to ear. I figure there is AT LEAST 4 inches outside of the ears on each side.
-
He's big enough to shoot...............Kinda surprized the gov tag didnt get him ;)
-
He may only be 21 on his ears ........ :chuckle:
-
I would say conservatively about 27-29,
-
That is my dream buck. :drool:
He's going to be sick next year.....
-
Ok bone we got that figured. Now what does he score?????? I am gonna say 189 ish. lets hear it
-
Pretty good guess timberstalker. I figured just about 190, might miss it by a hair because of that one "weak" side.
-
He's going to be sick next year.....
Lead poisioning or anemia
-
Thats some funny :crap: :crap:
-
:chuckle:
He's got a good place to hide to get as big as he has....not going ro be a gimmie.
-
without a doubt I would say 31-32 also. What an incredible animal. Nice way to spend a day with the wife.
-
Thats a fact. I know at least one hard core fellow that is going to be after his little white butt.
-
I was going to post this in the from behind section.....

Thanks for giving me the oportunity Bone :chuckle:
-
since the big lens is down, I resorted to the spotter for ya. Guys have to just get used to big animals and not very good pics

-
Im surprised the Indians haven't got him with the radio collar and all :yike:
-
Nice buck!!!
-
Tell you what , the last picture of that wide buck from the back brings back memmories of Popeye, just a bit smaller ;). He looks to be 35 wide froim the back :IBCOOL:
-
it will be alot easier to measure when you get him on the ground, i am guessing over 30.great pics
-
Sure wish my lens was sharp............

-
I say 30 inches wide
+1
I agree
-
Bone - - Thanks for sharing all the photos. Were the photos with the FZ18 shot at 18x or 18x + digital? Thanks
-
THey were shot at 72. I had them on a tripod and did it on teh timer so there was no vibration. The deer was about 800 yards out.
-
I'd say he is all of 30 maybe a little more...STUD buck, I don't get tired of looking at him. Hope he makes it.
-
balls deep, bRRRRRRR
-
I'm sure he beats 30, not even a doubt. Just wonder by how much. Yeah, that does seem cold.
-
I would guess he's gonna break 30" as well, but not by a bunch I wouldn't say. One helluva buck no doubt, hope you get a chance to run an arrow through him Bone and tell us just how much he beats 30".
-
looks kind of like a pisscutter bone...........I think you should let me take care of him for you...... :chuckle:
-
My first impression was 31"... I had to give him 22 on the ears...they are laid out nicely in some of those pics. His bones are jutting out about 4-5 inches on each side...EASY... so....31-32... Maybe more??
Nice one doug..I am real sorry for your loss though... better get her in the mail... right in prime season too... $&@#%#&#
E
-
Bone, you're amazing. I love your pics.
-
You really think 190 or close to it Bone? I was thinking more along the lines of 180. Keep tabs on him and grab them sheds! Thats a dandy buck!
-
I think he has already dropped 1... Was trying to drop the other the other day. You agree Huntnphool?
-
He's big enough to shoot...............Kinda surprized the gov tag didnt get him ;)
Are you kidding me Passion, did you not see the toad Matt got :yike: I think I would have passed this guy as well for that one. :dunno:
I agree Shawn!!! Bone, Pope, Slider and I saw one "very similar" to that guy on Saturday that had dropped one side. ;)
-
I think he is probably short Charlie of 190. The one "weak" fork probably nets him out of being 190. He's close enough though gross to give him the designation in my book. I probably won't get his sheds. I am not agressive enough at pushing the deer. Some yahoo will be out pouncing around in hip deep snow trying to sift through it to find it this next week I am sure.
Something about a pure typical 4 point though that does have allure. If I'd of had that tag I wouldn't have passed on this deer. It also wouldn't have been in a subdivision. Aesthetics mean alot to me. and before someone jumps on my arse, I am not putting his buck down one cent.
-
I perfer my bucks and bulls typical. :twocents:

I'm trying to split hairs, trying to get my Muley groove on so I dont over guesstimate when I get my tag next year :chuckle: The more I look at that buck the more he grows!
-
Let me put it to you this way. If you see him Shoot him. There are only a couple in this state right now bigger than he is. I tend to be one of the most conservative scorers on here.
-
I'm not conservitave, I try to judge exactly what it is. But I think I will start being a little more conservative. Wont be as disapointed that way :chuckle: Trust me, that buck wouldnt stand a chance! 20 inches smaller and he wouldnt stand a chance either ;)
-
It also wouldn't have been in a subdivision. Aesthetics mean alot to me
:chuckle: :tup:
-
:yeah: 100% agree. Im not much on backyard bucks ;)
-

Only if its a local from that subdivision Bone, didn't you hear......that entire mountain side is closed to access as of December 1st :chuckle: Some woman and her man came racing up to us on snow machines and told us that while we were parked sitting in our car glassing, told us we couldnt park and had to leave :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
You guys are crazy...Can't believe you all frequent the same area and don't bump into each other.
-
This one wasn't from there. He is a LONG ways from that neighborhood. Those are Methow genes.
I give that lady one bit and that she probably helps keep the poachers down and maybe a few of those overzealous tribal hunters, but she probably could lay off the guys with the big white lens'. When I was there I got alot of really nasty looks but I had my daughter with me with her binos, so I got cut a "little" slack.
-
I know you didn't duck. I was tlaking to Rob as I think he thought I shot that one in the Wenatchee region, whcih I know you know very well. In fact I wish I had your checkerboard map of your brain of what was state and not in there. What a pain in the ass. I wish I had your local knowledge of that area. I'd like to do alot more photography in there. Its too competetive for me for shed hunting there. You Wenatchee guys are nuts.
-
nice buck
-
i did not mean that i knew were that was I was just sayin there is always a back door for someone if they want into and area bad enough
I know you didn't Duck, I was just telling you guys what this woman told Pope and I, what a joke. She actually thought we would believe that the mountian was closed to the public as of December :chuckle:

Its always good to have a lawyer around. Some folks have some nerve. I also need to pack a surveyor that works for the county assessors office becasue people keep hanging up no trespassing signs where they aren't supposed too.
