Title: Huntnphool and Mray's deer trip
Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 18, 2009, 02:04:17 PM: I got an exclusive photo of the nice buck that M_ray shot today in Montana. He is probably going to be really mad at me for releasing the real photo to you guys so I've done a recreation. It looks to be a nice buck. Can't wait to hear the story. I just couldn't wait...

Post by: flyguide on November 18, 2009, 02:25:03 PM: At least it died with a smile on its face.
Title: Re: Huntnphool and Mray's deer trip
Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 18, 2009, 02:27:51 PM: Looks like your typical montana muley, not real wide with tall horns. Looks to be a 4x4 typical although my picture isn't the greatest representation.

Phool hasn't shot one but I hear he has his eyes on a tall racked muley... ;)

Title: Re: Huntnphool and Mray's deer trip
Post by: jjhunter on November 18, 2009, 02:54:23 PM: Mray is 7' tall and 320 pounds (for comparison)....I'd say that muley weighs at least 550 field dressed, skinned, without legs, but with balls attached.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 18, 2009, 03:04:07 PM: Ok ok, you all have questioned my drawing skills so I drew another one. This one is pretty good. The buck is better on the one side than the other. Looks to be a 170 type buck gross or slightly less?

Post by: alanger on November 18, 2009, 04:34:23 PM: where did the head and body go??

Yeah, the left side is weak but I did notice the other eye guard when I looked at it more.

I'll have to disagree with you pop. Like someone said the left side looks weak. I'd say 160gross tops. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Huntnphool and Mray's deer trip
Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 18, 2009, 05:39:08 PM: I might not disagree with you. That's why I stated "or slightly less". I think the right side if matched on the left might score this buck up near 175 or 180. If it was just symetrical as the left side then 160 or so. It has really deep forks and mass on the right side. A nice buck. I would have pulled the trigger.

We'll see what the boys come up with next... ;)

Post by: Ridgerunner on November 19, 2009, 06:58:01 AM: its a good buck though. Better than he did last year over there. it'll be worth the wait boys.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on November 19, 2009, 11:48:39 AM: Just got off the phone with M_ray. Huntnphool still hasn't tagged out but he has his eye on a couple of deer. We'll see what they come up with. They say they are taking lots of pictures...

Title: Re: Huntnphool and Mray's deer trip
Post by: coachcw on November 19, 2009, 08:16:54 PM: Phool sent me the pic too nice buck but I want to know how he coaxed it into the barn. They were getting lunch and fuel in wyoming , no doubt phools gonna pull the trigger too.

Post by: actionshooter on November 19, 2009, 10:20:30 PM: All those bucks have really good mass, thought the capes look a little rough :chuckle:

Post by: huntnphool on November 21, 2009, 05:09:04 PM: Will try to get a writeup and some pics done this weekend. We hit pavement at 1:00pm yesterday and drove strait through, I got in at 5:00am and had to cape my deer, clean, unpack, play with kids etc., and I'm hitting a wall.

Here is a quick pic of the area for you to look at for the time being.
