Title: Does Idabooner shoot or not
Post by: boneaddict on October 28, 2007, 01:30:34 AM: Ultimately he has the say on what he wants. This buck is maxed out and isn't getting any bigger. I would be very tempted to put him down as what a trophy, and what a cape. Thoughts??? The boys on MM weren't all that impressed. I sure was.

Post by: jackelope on October 28, 2007, 09:42:49 AM: i know what i'd do.
bottom line...a few days later i'd be making 30lbs of brats again.
is he a huge 3 point?

Post by: boneaddict on October 28, 2007, 10:05:23 AM: Yep, he is a big three. He might even hit that 300 pound mark. ;)
Soooooo are you going to be available at all this fall if I seal this deal early and manage to make the trip back to Yak, and don't end up in Idaho.

Post by: boneaddict on October 28, 2007, 10:26:45 AM: Touch and go I guess. I'll be in that secret spot I told you about. Its a little far for the average day trips. If I leave at 2 in the morning, and get back at 10 at night. Thats a long and expensive roadtrip. If I am headed on one, I'll get your attention. You guys and your babies. I think Ridge is goingto stand me up too. :(

Post by: jackelope on October 28, 2007, 10:31:35 AM: p.s. i voted no, not on day 2 anyway.
that doesn't mean i wouldn't shoot...
Title: Re: Does Idabooner shoot or not
Post by: boneaddict on October 28, 2007, 10:33:39 AM: I posted this guy as its one of those borderline bucks. Damn would be hard to turn down, but if you know you might have a chance at a bigger one. For our fair state though. HOLY!
Title: Re: Does Idabooner shoot or not
Post by: jackelope on October 28, 2007, 10:35:49 AM: kind of why i said not on day 2. i don't know. he said he was going to stick to the tamer country, so maybe he should shoot. :dunno:

Post by: actionshooter on October 28, 2007, 07:45:13 PM: If thats a Wa. buck and I saw him, I'd drop him. The guys over at MM don't realize the 180+ bucks are a little harder to come by around here. also one of the coolest bucks I have seen was a 3X3. It was at a Mule Deer Foundation banquet, 40" wide :o

Post by: Idabooner on October 28, 2007, 08:27:35 PM: By the time you boys decide if you want him, I'll be pulling his hide off. After scouting hard for two days and not finding any thing close I don't think I could turn him down. :)
Title: Re: Does Idabooner shoot or not
Post by: Wea300mag on October 28, 2007, 08:33:17 PM: Given the information at hand, I say "yes". I voted no a couple hours ago though. :tung: :chuckle:
Title: Re: Does Idabooner shoot or not
Post by: actionshooter on October 28, 2007, 08:34:59 PM: Idabooner, I like your style :chuckle: :chuckle:
Title: Re: Does Idabooner shoot or not
Post by: Cougeyes on October 28, 2007, 09:38:10 PM: Being that he plans on hunting the lower moderate country I would let him shoot it, that buck is a brute for sure too bad no eyeguards he'd look better with them I think, but you can't be too picky.

I too like his style, "By the time you boys decide if you want him, I'll
be pulling his hide off" Love it!

I'm going to have to duct tape his trigger finger back I can tell. I'd be helping you peel on this one though. He isn't kidding either, you should try to get field photos with this guy.

I would Shoot .
But !
We did find a bigger one the other day while Elk hunting . Makes that one look small. Was one Hell Hole to get to though . He'll be there next year I hope. My pardner had some pictures on the cell phone but it went in the creek , cost him $206 to replace it . OH DA - put it in you pocket not on your belt !!!!!!

Post by: Dman on October 29, 2007, 10:38:54 AM: Beautiful buck, I'd be happy with that on a Wa. special hunt.
