First deer I shot was 1966! So I am in no hurry.

Well I was off the road over 4 miles by myself. Also as I grow long in the tooth I pick battles I can win!
Nothing wrong with that Ridge, I let 3 bears walk over the weekend because of the work it would have taken to get them out.

How was it in a clearcut 4 miles from the road?
Well lets see if I can clear this up! The old logging roads that are nothing but tag alder messes are still there. But these are roads that I used to drive back in the late 70's. Which now are only walkin's. Which I am glad to see.
Question's?

It took my spotting scope turned up to 60 to see the third point on his head at about 275 yards!
He was about 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall. :sry:
Couldn't see putting his nose on the lawn when I know what has been in there.

The deer had it's leg like that because he was embarassed to be in the back of a Dodge......
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on October 20, 2011, 07:45:57 AM
Is this one you're talking about ? Ya gotta count all the little tiny points to make it Ridgeratts 8x10...... :dunno:

Because they could drive the dodge all the way to him, where the Ford and Chevy would have needed to be pulled out by the dodge.... Nice buck by the way!

They didn't know what "kelly humps" were? Maybe I am getting old as well.
Heck, I am one of the "young" guys today I guess, I know what those are, all my hunting thats not in the wilderness is either behind gates or kelly humps.

And okay, that makes sense, I was wondering if it had been logged with helicopter or what. Sounds like a good time.

I'd be more than willing to go up and shoot him, I'll even share the meat with ya. just p.m. me his area :chuckle: :tup:
I wouldn't even let my Grandson shoot him if he would have been with me! There are much better roaming and sometimes it is better to let one walk than notch a tag. I also would have guessed that with out my spotting scope to make sure I could perhaps have been in the same predicament as another member who has been accused of tipping a 2x2. Not worth the headache's

So this 10X8 is actually a 10" wide by 8" tall potential 2 point then?
This was post # 27
Well to finish the story!
It took my spotting scope turned up to 60 to see the third point on his head at about 275 yards!
He was about 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall.
Couldn't see putting his nose on the lawn when I know what has been in there.
The area is notorious for High Wide 2's.

The leg kept falling off of the ATV, so the shooter put it like that. It was a long ways down a canyon, 374 yard shot. It was a big boy for sure. Makes ya kinda jealous, at least me......

I passed a 4x5 blacktail yesterday evening because there was just no way I could have gotten it out of the creek bottom by myself. I really regret it now cause the biggest I have killed so far was a 2pt
But you gotta know your limits when it comes to recovering animals
So shoot it and bring a friend with you in the morning? :dunno: or make multiple trips?
