Post by: boneaddict on November 04, 2020, 07:31:35 AM: I’m guessing he is just off prime age for antlers(old side). He was a beast for size so hadn’t lost there. I’ve never seen him before, nor will I probably ever see him again. I came over the rise, spotted him and his doe. I squeezed off a few quick shots, adjusted my camera, got a few more frames, then took a step. He exploded and was gone. No bouncy bouncy, he was off like a whitetail.

35 to 40.

Almost like archery hunting but without the packing.

Post by: buckfvr on November 06, 2020, 08:41:24 AM: Great buck, kind of looks like some swelling on left side of face, like maybe he has an abscess. Seen that a few times in the wt here.
Title: Re: "A little Sage with that"
Post by: boneaddict on November 06, 2020, 08:47:10 AM: I thought so too, but wondered if it was just extra fat and the way he was cranking his neck. I had one a couple years ago that was obviously something wrong
Title: Re: "A little Sage with that"
Post by: buckfvr on November 06, 2020, 08:49:34 AM: Looks like the swelling goes up into the eye area, might be a bad tooth or maybe he took a head shot from one of his buddies. :dunno:
Title: Re: "A little Sage with that"
Post by: ballpark on November 06, 2020, 08:50:13 AM: Old mature muley. His hind quarters seem to be thin. Maybe just the angle.
