Title: Spreadin my genes
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 09:17:25 AM: I maybe a two point, but I am getting it done.

Now..........he normally isn't what I'd classified as an old buck, but I htink I have photgraphs of this guy last year and he was a 4 point. I need to research. He was blind in one eye, and he had some old attributes. He was a fighter with only two points and bigger bucks running around. his bones had fresh chips of of two of the points. He chased off a couple threes and even a 4.

Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 09:26:43 AM: I think he was a 4 last year. In this pic, you'll note the ear. I swear I photographed a 4 point withthe exact ear within 50 yards of this spot last year. Not saying he is an old recessive buck, thats what I meant in the first comment, just I think he backslid this year. He sure had the attitude. I photogrpahed 3 return bucks in this spot this year and I think all three were smaller than last year. :dunno:

So I was filming this guy and I swear I hear a wheeze (snort wheeze without the snort) down the hill. I was just there and glassed it, but I thought I heard it. I kept taking pics, then I heard it again. OH FINE, so I rapped up and went and did a big circle around and sure enough...found another set of bucks. COOL! Those pics in a bit.

Post by: Caseyd on November 10, 2009, 09:41:52 AM: Definatly an ear that you'd remember.

Let us know if you find the old pics
Title: Re: Spreadin my genes
Post by: Gobble on November 10, 2009, 09:44:30 AM: He definately looks like a muture older deer in that last pic. I witnessed the "Ritual" at my uncles place in CleElum. All the deer from the surrounding area would winter up near his 14 acres on top of Hidden Valley Ranch back in the 80's and 90's. It wasn't uncommon to see 100 deer with 25 4-5 point bucks in a small area. I witnessed several breeding bucks and does but this one stood out in my mind.....There was a 2 point , 3 point and a 4 point breeding this one doe, each taking his turn when the other was tired out :chuckle: Once the 4 pt was "done" the 3 point would hop on, then when he was "done' the 2 point would hop on and so the cycle would continue until all three had bred her 2 or 3 times (talk about a wetspot" :chuckle:. All the while this was 10 ft in front of my Bronco with the lights on them, they could have cared less if I was there.

Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 09:48:26 AM: Thats interesting gobble. I've never seen multiples with deer but watched it a lot this fall with sheep. All sorts of negative comments came to mind.

I know its just a two point guys, but I liked how this picture turned out.

Title: Re: Spreadin my genes
Post by: upriver on November 10, 2009, 10:24:37 AM: I noticed a couple monster two points around winthrop this year. They were definitely older deer. That's a whopper- big bodied.

I think we should be allowed to shoot bucks in the act of breeding that should not be breeding. :chuckle: Like dinky forkies. Kinda like shoting crows in the act of depredation. Doing our part to help out the pool.

I think this is an old buck though. Likely has good genes to pass on. Just cause his horns have backed off doesnt mean his stamina has. :chuckle:

Post by: boneaddict on November 12, 2009, 05:53:42 AM: I got a forky for you guys that I'd have shot in a heartbeat. He was breeding as well. Lil Bone got to see it twice yesterday.

Time out in the woods...... I want even more but today and sitting here holding my puking little one. Guess that means I'll be puking in about 3 days.

I feel for ya. I stay home most of the time when the kids are sick because I can work from home and the wife is self employed, if she stays home no money comes in.
