That is an absolute toad buck!!! :yike: Thanks for the inspiration. :)

They used to come all the way to the window at night and looked into the Clubhouse. :chuckle:

Regardless, I would hurry home from work every day if that fellow was hanging on the wall to greet me.

He will make B&C. Guessing will net around 140ish.

Absolutely beautiful buck!

Title: Re: Steilacoom Buck
Post by: Hunter Dug on October 31, 2009, 08:39:26 AM: Very nice buck but I bet he only scores 120 to 130 tops, short tines. Mass doesnt make up the inches like tine length. But that dont mean I wouldnt take him. no shame in my game.

Post by: yorketransport on October 31, 2009, 03:48:52 PM: I've seen that buck before! I lived in UP and drove through Steilacoom on my way to the FedEx terminal in Dupont every day. I remember seeing that buck a couple of times at the the edge of town like Snowninja said. Saw a couple other nice bucks, and the occasional coyote, up and down Grandview and Cirque Drive.

There is a nice 4 up here on the Sammamish Plateau that wears similar headgear, but less mass than that boy there. Always see him cozying up to somebody's flowers.....

Post by: Kent Hunter on October 31, 2009, 09:45:58 PM: Man, what a dandy blacktail!!! I love big blacktails. I'll say he scores in the 134-137 inch ballpark. Great buck. Thanks for the picture.

Post by: Sportfury on November 01, 2009, 01:39:38 PM: One of the biggest blacktail bucks that I have ever seen was sitting in the Pierce College parking lot waiting to go to class (1992). A nice 4x4 like the buck in the picture. The buck came out by the pool building turned and headed up the hill in the brush between the two parking lots. Funny thing was I think that I was the only one who saw him. Other people were walking in the parking lot and all they had to do was look up and see him working his way through the scotch broom. When he reached the top parking lot he came out about fifteen feet from two people. He hunkered down and they never even saw him. Last I saw him he was headed across the upper parking lot through the cars.

I've heard of smart bucks before but this one was actually taking college courses? Holy crap! :chuckle:
