Title: Found this guy the other day.

Just up behind the house, sorry it's so far away, couldn't get him to stand still for very long.

Think I might want to live at your house :chuckle:. Or at least visit regularly, thanks for sharing the photo.

Ty, you should have seen the dandy in my yard a while back. I have a place in Pine Cliffs.

There used to be a lot more deer in pinecliffs. I haven't seen much sign of them around this winter.

Nice buck though.

You should see the hog coming in to GC.  I had him at 30 yards a week or so ago, but forgot the camera....duh!  They have a good pic of him over at the saloon though, he is huge for around here.

bowhuntin,
You are right, there used to be a lot more, but even though this last season was very tough, I have seen some very nice bucks that made it.  They just stayed up high a lot longer this fall.

Thats good, hopefully there is no more louse to go around the deer herd in the nile and surrounding units and their numbers will start rebounding. I did see one camp during the late season in the nile with a really nice 4x4 hanging in camp, they are just a lot harder to find the past few years.

I think I may have seen that GC monster too.  I have seen some nice bucks for around here this winter but overall numbers are down.

I haven't seen any deer with the lice this fall.  All of the deer around the house are fat and healthy this year.

Kid,
Yeah, Winter and I were talking about him today, the bucks are losing horn already, so both him and I have been looking for his.

That is good, all the deer I have seen all look healthy too.

Are the bucks you seeing in pinecliffs? I have only seen a couple smaller ones that wouldn't even be legal during the season.

No, most of the good bucks I've seen  have been North of the hiway.
Title: Re: Found this guy the other day.
Post by: bowhuntin on January 15, 2009, 09:27:52 PM
I figured that was where you were seeing them. I was wondering more of where thekid#10 was seeing bucks because my family has a place in pine cliffs also.

Nice buck, hope he passed his genes on this fall

I'll bet he did.  Around here, that's a breeder for sure.

Here is a buck I found about two weeks ago, but just got pics of him this afternoon.  What do you guys think of this buck?

That is a shooter for me. Nice buck!!

I think I could even make that shot  :chuckle:

Ty,

 I'm pretty sure that is the buck I saw by my place a month ago. I would see him only at  night though. Caught him coming off the hill just up the road from Bill and Winters driveway, Doug Williams piece. Actually watched him cross the green bridge one night at about 10:00pm. I was walking around the pond and heard a clicking noise on the bridge. It was his hoofs. I could have shot him with a pistol. He rubbed some of the trees around the pond. I want his sheds too. I would paste him in a second. Nice buck for around there nowadays. But I'm sure you and Winter will find them before me. If you see Nick tell him he owes Steve 20 bucks for our football bet.

He was lying up above the road across from my house with another decent 3 pt. today.  I was up goofing off on the 4wheeler.  I know Winter has been eyein him pretty good wanting those sheds too!  I'm surprised you got Nick to bet with real money, usually he only bets with me for beer!

I know, it was his idea. We had both had a couple too many. I have always wanted to check out your garage and all your toys. We'll have to meet sometime. We've never truly met but I know you through Therese, Winter, Michelle, Nick etc. I know Winter the best. He'll vouch for me. I'm Steve. Seen you around and know where you & T live.

I'll be up next weekend, maybe I'll see you around. Right now I'm heading out the door to meet up with some buddies down in Monte to drift the Nooch for the next three days. Take It easy. T won't remember me by name but knows me well from serving me and my family at Squaw and GC many times. My son has had a crush on her since he met her a couple years ago, He' 4. She might remember my little boy Zack, she gave him some candy at squaw once and couldn't shake him the rest of our meal. I think he asked her to sit and join us. LOL

Nice pics.  Looks like a healthy 3 year old (?).  He'll be a bruiser next year.

Steve, I'm usually around the valley here somewhere.  Got a few atv's and sleds I'm working on now, so should be around the shop next week.  We usually take off in the afternoons when it warms up a little.  Stop in sometime.  Or we'll probably be at Jack's on Thursday night.
