Just wondering- how do you know it's the same buck? I agree they look very much alike, but how do you know for certain? Maybe hunter-4-life's camera is in an entirely different county. :dunno:split in the ear

plus the same kicker off the left base and same curve to the left eye guard.. Undoubtably the same deer.

yep i would bet money it is the exsact same deer if you guys just tell me where it is ill set a cam up in their and get proof of it :chuckle:Just wondering- how do you know it's the same buck?

Well I agree, I sure don't see anything that would make me thing they are two different bucks. But it's sure a coincidence you guys both just happen to have a camera in the same buck's territory. I guess you better get together and coordinate your hunts so you're working together instead of against each other. It will be interesting to see how this turns out!yep it will be interesting good luck guys! extra luck if your name starts with a B. :tup:

isnt the first time it has happened on here..
Last year someone came on with a picture of a buck asking what everyone thought it would score (or something like that) and we had killed the buck the day before :yike:

Absolutly the same buck...and that is a great area to be set up in. I checked this cam for hunter-4-life tonight and this area is just run over with great sign.
By the way Matt, do you have a name for this buck?
Post by: alwinearcher on August 02, 2011, 11:56:40 PM
Wow.... it is a small world. Haha. Either way he is one heck of a buck. How long have to had him coming in.
Maybe a month or so now..
Ill have to search through some pics if you want an exact date..

I would have to agree that he is in a better spot, I think he is well enough away from you that you two will not step on each others feet... this is a small world.
Now Matt, If some of my deer start showing up on your cams, then I might start to think something is a little fishy.

Back when Alwine was a snot nose kid and worked for a farmer who had a big buck coming out in his fields got the whole farm locked up so he could hunt this buck. :bash: This farm was on the game dept.'s posted land and you had to have written permission to hunt the land. The game dept. posted it and patrol it. The farmer and his wife are very goods friends of my family and I worked for him several summers. I took his son hunting for the first time, was with him when he shot his first duck. Anyway, my Dads farm was next to this farm where this big buck was coming out so I called to get my written permission to hunt and found out it was locked up. I did voice my opinion about my game dept. money being used for one person. To top it off he was hunting w/a good hunting buddy of mine for this buck. :bash: Hay, more power to him. I would have done the same on this buck. I just didn't like the idea of my license money being used to lock up land for one person. Never did hear if he got that buck. BTW, the framer and his wife are still good friends and this didn't end our friend ship.

what would you guys guess, the age is? On that deer.
He is a older buck, I would guess 6 if I had to pick a number but wouldn't put money on that.. I'm sure he is atleast 5 though.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I have never seen this deer anywhere near a field... He is more of a mountain buck..

By the way Matt. I need to meet up with ya sometime, I was going through some of my sheds the other day and I think I have a set to the wide one that Bobby took last year. Remember the one that my brother posted the picture of the next day. :chuckle:
Don't know how I missed your comment...
That would be awesome to see! He was a new buck to us and just seeing his sheds would be sweet!
Post by: alwinearcher on August 04, 2011, 02:24:03 PM
I didn't even know I had locked the land down. I was 16 at the time and I think the landowners wife was looking out for me to try and get a buck.. If I remember correctly the buck I ended up killed was probably about a 70" 4x4 :IBCOOL: lol

@PA - I think we were all just joking on taking this buck from these two. Just saying. :tup::dunno: Matt was just a lovable kid and she (the farmer wife) was looking out for him. It just surprised me I couldn't hunt. This buck was one of the bigger ones I've seen. As far as our friendship it's great, they even stopped by over here on the wet side to say hi. As it's been said this thread is going to be a good one. I hope to see pictures of him on the ground. Good luck you guys.
