Title: Dreambucks- Post Them Up
Post by: bchighlander on October 23, 2019, 04:46:20 PM: Do you get a buck on your cam every year that qualifies as a dreambuck...a christmas morning buck...a died and gone to heaven buck...a buck you’d take home to meet your parents???
I know i do.
Post those dreambucks right here!
Maybe a little commentary along with the pics...or not.

Post by: greenhead_killer on October 23, 2019, 06:04:52 PM: Here’s a buck I had for two years. Someone stole my cam off private(my property) last year and haven’t seen him since. Stud for sure and would have loved to at least put my hands on his sheds, but such is life. I haven’t. Dream buck to me though.

He is the reason I'm getting an archery tag this year. I'd never see a deer like him during modern. He also reminds me a lot of the buck from your Bachelor Party, Bango.

Post by: 3nails on April 19, 2020, 06:40:00 PM: Bad picture off of a video I made a few years back. Giant blacktail in an area I was scouting. I don't hunt there much any more as the deer density is extremely low. I would have loved to have got this guy.

I sure did. I'm pretty sure it was his antlers that got him hung up. Probably still there.

He was in his prime in 2018 Hagemaniac, starting to go down hill a little. I’ve been after him for 3 years now. Smart old boy, they don’t get that big being dumb. Here’s what he looked like last year.

Ill be real interested to see what he looks like this year. Hope one of you guys put a hole in him. Pretty cool to see multiple years of an old buck. Not often that you get to do that. If youre feeling kind of attached to him now, and you dont want to kill him, id be happy to take one for the team.

Post by: Pete112288 on April 20, 2020, 10:49:04 PM: First blacktail I ever got of this size on camera or anything. Seen him multiple years and in person too. Vanishes around the second week in August every year.

Dandy buck!! Could you tell if he broke his right side off in velvet or after he hardened up? Wonder if a car clipped him or something.
