Title: Interesting genetics
Post by: boneaddict on May 26, 2008, 08:52:29 PM
This guy has interesting genetics.  What are you guy's speculations on this one.  Great genetics for a two point......*censored*ty genetics for a two point......will he be bigger this next year, or another big two point.   This particular area isn't know for big twos.
Maybe Timber and I will see him this fall.

No brow tines at all? I bet he'll be another 2 point this year.

He looks pretty young, lots of growing left.

given his mass and body size, i'm going with ray on this one...2 point for ever.

I would have to say he is a life long "Super Forkie" You mat remember this guy, same boat I would guess.

got enough body to suggest he might never see any more points IMO!

Mine kind of looks like a big blacktail but he is a long ways from that blood.

As heavy as he is Bone I seriously doubt he will be anything but a 2. Love those dark racks though, my favorite. Here is another that won't be growing any more.

I think he'll stay a big two for the rest of his life... Looks to heavy and set to get any bigger..  :dunno:

One other thing about that buck Bone, he is safe which might explain his mass. As long as he stays a two odds are he will never be harvested. This is a classic example of what I was talking about a few months ago. A youth 2 point hunt would be fantastic IMHO, it would help cull these bucks out of the gene pool and give kids a real hunting opportunity other than does.

I'd be curious abouthte first one you pictured.  He is thin enough, he might be younger than we think he is.....body size he looks mature though.  He has no moss on his antlers at all.   Interesting how different gentetics play a role.  That last one I would dump and countthe eyeguard on it.  He looks like a trophy old *censored*.

Thanks for your input folks.  Glad to hear more.  Obviously its all speculation at this point.   This particular spot is known for its mass, and usually 4 points.   This guy acted mature, though he still looked farily young to me.  Seems like he is riding the fence.

the deer that bone posted looks like my first mule deer if you add an eye guard on his driver's side.

Looks like a young fella to me, I'll go with the great genetics in this case.  I'd bet he grows enough extra bone one of these years to wear a tag legally, if he doesn't get oopsed.

I'm kinda of thinking along those lines myself.

Bone,

Any chance that was in unit 346 up the Rock Creek Road?  Saw a freakishly similar buck in there.  One of the biggest 2 points I ever saw.

Has anyone (I guess in other states) ever shot something really freakish just because it was so unusual?  For instance, once in MT, I saw the weirdest looking 2-Point the day before the season started.  I never seen him again though.  This buck had probably 25", very heavy main beams with just small forks at the end.  The kicker though, the spread was maybe 10" or so and the horns went more straight up than forward.  A massive body to go along as well.

A freak elk about got it in NM.  He was in our camp or set up right next to it for about 4 days before the season.  He was a gorgeous NT bull.  I hadn't seen on alive like him and he almost died for it.  He was lucky I was successful the first morning.

i would have no problem shooting him that is for sure

I'd say Great candidate for a cull buck.  He may develope into a 3 this year but if he does he will be just legal.  I'm willing to bet that deer is no less than 4 1/2 years old.  He will never amount to anything but freezer meat and an extra cape.
