Post by: colockumelk on October 15, 2009, 01:24:39 PM: :dunno: Maybe if we had a better photography that knew how to take a pic in focus we'd be able to tell. :chuckle:
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: Craig on October 15, 2009, 01:26:20 PM: That buck only has a couple days left to live if he does not find a better place to sleep. Head to the hills if you want to live.
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: boneaddict on October 15, 2009, 01:32:02 PM: So here is another question.........kinda............word of advice for the newbies headed out this weekend.

Ever have tunnel vision.....concentrate so hard on one deer you lose site of the big picture.......

Title: Re: what is it
Post by: Craig on October 15, 2009, 01:48:08 PM: That second buck looks a little heavier then the first one. I like the dark antlers. Were both bucks in the first picture you posted?
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: boneaddict on October 15, 2009, 02:01:07 PM: No, he was in the rocks up above out of frame.

I shot my first buck with that angle. Marlin 30-30, broke his back at the base of his neck. Worked out pretty well, I'd do it again, and yes, I'd shoot that buck this weekend, given the chance.
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: EMPyre on October 15, 2009, 02:16:14 PM: Is that a 2x4? Not that I care, I'd still split the back like cheap lumber...
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: halflife65 on October 15, 2009, 02:16:25 PM: I wouldn't pass that buck up in WA with a general tag on public land...

Maybe if I had private land access or a drawing tag I'd leave it alone, but that's about it.
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: boneaddict on October 15, 2009, 02:35:04 PM: He had a broken main beam Empyre so his front fork on that one side was gone.
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: EMPyre on October 15, 2009, 02:37:05 PM: Gotcha. I like the bigger boy, but i probably would've been guilty of tunnel vision. ;)
Title: Re: what is it
Post by: Watimberghost on October 15, 2009, 02:38:13 PM: For me, yes, come opening weekend that is a dead deer if he gets in my scope.

Post by: actionshooter on October 15, 2009, 03:17:46 PM: I would like to think I would hold out, but I'm probably lying to myself. :chuckle:

Funny you should say that. I'm looking at all these posts and I have that same excitement - even though I'm not going. I hope that everyone does well, anyway.
