Not bad for anywhere! But man that is a huge bench leg! would love to shoot one like that! What do you think he is 160-170?
Title: Re: This one made it....
Post by: norsepeak on January 16, 2009, 07:45:09 PM: He may go around 150ish. He's pretty wide, I guess him at around 26-27 outside, with pretty good mass, but his forks aren't huge. Sorry for stealing your thread Bone.
Title: Re: This one made it....
Post by: boneaddict on January 16, 2009, 07:52:12 PM: not at all. I should have today. You were out of the fog. Would have loved to have seen him. Looks like a good 150 buck.

Post by: 7mmfan on January 16, 2009, 07:53:51 PM: So did this one, sorry for the clarity it was getting shady
Title: Re: This one made it....
Post by: 7mmfan on January 16, 2009, 07:58:24 PM: Thats a dandy buck, doesn't look like he's real old either, should be a whopper next year.
Title: Re: This one made it....
Post by: norsepeak on January 16, 2009, 10:37:30 PM: Bone, we've been out of the fog all week. It's been sunny with blue sky all week.

Post by: boneaddict on January 17, 2009, 06:39:15 AM: Thanks Elknut. Believe it or not, thats at about 50% normal clarity. It goes into a big box and into the mail on monday. Can't wait to see that bill. HOPEFULLY the warranty will cover whatever is wrong.

Go figure, I am usually laughing at Yakima as I am usually out of the fog myself, almost always right on the edge, but not this year. Cold and dreary.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 17, 2009, 11:05:50 PM: Great pics guys. I'll second the earlier sentiment about spike elk. They look like a character from the next Narnia movie...

Post by: farmin4u_98948 on January 18, 2009, 09:28:53 PM: Norsepeak. Is that the buck that Ron is feeding behind the store?? HA HA

Post by: PacificNWhunter on January 19, 2009, 07:29:04 AM: Good pic's all, and I'll agree..Spike bulls are pretty funny looking!
