Title: Re: My pics... High Country
Post by: MichaelJ on March 09, 2008, 09:15:34 PM: M_Ray, that place was AMAZING! One of the funner trips I've been on... but you can't take a horse up there as you got to climp some cliffs and rock outcroppings that I wouldn't even think about bringin a horse on...

Check it out!

Post by: Cougeyes on March 09, 2008, 10:18:13 PM: Apparently this buck was seen after the season was over? The sheds aren't from this season already are they? You better start spending a lot of time this summer scouting for him and pattering him out, good luck, nice pictures and one hell of a buck.
Title: Re: My pics... High Country
Post by: MichaelJ on March 09, 2008, 10:21:29 PM: Nah... that buck died from old age... The year I found him I know people who had watched him on the winter range for I think 4-5 years as a big deer and I have seen previous sheds... He regressed a LOT the year I found him in his prime he was a solid 200" buck... I got a PM on MM.com from a guy saying he SAW the buck in OCTOBER and then never replied to any of my other PM's to him and he dropped off the map... dissapointing to say the least. Last year was the first year he did not show up on the winter range...

Post by: Cougeyes on March 09, 2008, 10:24:10 PM: They're big for a reason, that's an awsome buck, hopefully he passed on a lot of genes.
Title: Re: My pics... High Country
Post by: MichaelJ on March 09, 2008, 10:31:14 PM: Yep I'm sure of it! I think he was summering not far away either but up high towards Blewitt Pass...

Thanks man... and yeah plans changed. Still looking to go in but may not be able to for awhile... Right now I am going to school at Central and am liking it and am working my way towards a degree in Industrial Engineering... Still working out plans but right now I may not join, then again I may gotta deal with that hurdle when it comes.

Not sure where that is, but I'm pretty sure it was a ways away from there... those pics are actually a mixture from different areas of the GPW...

Here's more pics of those sheds. The water bottle is one of those tall skinny ones and not a "classic" 20 oz. one.

Post by: boneaddict on March 11, 2008, 04:51:15 PM: Very nice buck Michael. Good video you had there. I finally got to see it. He looks alot like my buck on the hoof. If he didn't have eyeguards I'd swear he was from the same genepool.
Title: Re: My pics... High Country
Post by: Ray on March 11, 2008, 05:31:33 PM: Pretty sure that's Buck Mountain. Especially if you're not sure. Buck is in the GPW... Not trying to ruin your spot but you posted the photos. Been mountain climbing for a while. Not always right but sure do recognize some of the peaks in Washington's top 100 as I have climbed a few of them in my day...

Gotcha and yes you would be correct then. I thought you were talking about the pics with the lake... My mistake and don't worry you're not ruining my spot, that was only a scouting trip that didn't reveal a whole lot except some great pics and some good times... and definitely some sore legs lol
