Title: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: boneaddict on November 04, 2019, 04:32:57 PM: A big buck I got on this morning. Here is to hoping I can find him again tomorrow. AND...that the damn air conditions improve. I think he could eclipse an archery record....

Do you think he is a migratory or resident?
Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: huntnnw on November 04, 2019, 11:28:16 PM: color of those antlers Id guess he migrated down. Great buck!

Post by: CaNINE on November 05, 2019, 07:59:30 PM: I find great comfort in knowing a deer of this magnitude is alive on the landscape and spreading his genetics.
Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: boneaddict on November 05, 2019, 08:05:12 PM: He did too. I watched him breed. The rut was for real today

That is interesting, in 2016 when I had my late Entiat tag, the day I shot my Buck there were Deer everywhere. The next day when I went back to retrieve the rest of my Buck I did not see a single Deer!

Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: Ironhead on November 06, 2019, 05:56:41 PM: He is a stud, those fronts :drool: I wonder what those mains measure?
Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: Black Ghost on November 07, 2019, 07:55:43 PM: Bone, did you find em again?
Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2019, 08:38:33 AM: I found him one more time, but he was too far away. I’ve looked twice more and struck out completely due to fog the first time and just couldn’t find him again. He was replaced by a different buck, maybe a year younger but similar frame.

I think I will be redirecting my efforts. I have one pic I don’t particularly like, but my editor thinks I should have in the Calendar.
Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: Widgeondeke on November 10, 2019, 09:27:32 AM: So if we wanna see it.....another excuse to get next years calendar.

Smart :tup:
Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2019, 09:36:55 AM: Sort of I suppose. I don’t ever recycle bucks for my calendar, last years buck etc. it’s full bore freshies! and I don’t use images I’ve released. All original content. I’d like to think of it as you get more than what you pay for versus, a gimmick to make you buy. If you just view on here I’m sure you’ll eventually see content of most bucks I film.

My wife says take next year off as I have enough bucks for three calendars right now. Lol. What fun would that be.
Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: hunting4sanity on November 10, 2019, 10:42:15 AM: Please don't take next year off and thank you for sharing all that you do with us! I love seeing your photos.

Title: Re: Potential wa record on the hoof
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2019, 03:32:56 PM: First few years were, but then I started adventuring out of state. This year Washington is kicking butt.
