Post by: wt on December 27, 2011, 05:15:58 PM: Oh baby, that dude has some beefy hind quarters, sounds like archery central. Nice deer, I don't know how people can not do the deed (as long as it's legal) with some of the beasts you have in your area. I just haven't bagged enough deer yet I guess. Thanks for the nice pictures.

Post by: pips4bucks on December 27, 2011, 06:33:56 PM: I'm with 3Nails. There's some real pigs inside the 'Ham's city limits. I saw pics of one that was hanging around Civic field that was at least a 9x12, and nearly every tine was at least 6" long! He was bedded down in the guy's backyard under a tree.

Too bad that treehuggin', root-eatin', bunny lovin' town doesn't allow bowhunting. I know a few places that are just screaming for a tree stand. :bash:
Title: Re: deadwood blacktail
Post by: kglacken on December 27, 2011, 06:34:43 PM: I think there may be some rut activity going on still. We saw a good buck, not quite that big, but a good buck none the less about 250 yards away that looked to be swollen up but we couldnt close the distance!
Title: Re: deadwood blacktail
Post by: Turner89 on December 27, 2011, 07:36:17 PM: About 8yrs ago we were building a pedestrian bridge over Alabama st. in Belingham. We had deer all over the site. That place is the definition of back yard buck! One of the does had been hit by a car and lost a front leg from the knee down. It had heeled up (she probably died of old age in someones garden).

NO NOT THAT ....Back east we do not waste points , a :rolleyes: deer grows horns on both sides so it makes sense to me to count both sides but since the west coast is a little behind the times it makes sense to count one side out here :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :sry:

Hard to tell from a pic w/out another deer in it. Some of the ones I've seen in the 'Ham have been well over 200 lbs.

Post by: Clancy on December 28, 2011, 02:48:52 AM: a nice deersie...used to have a buck walk up my drive way about this size with a little forkie behind it almost every morning. nowhere near b'ham though.
Title: Re: deadwood blacktail
Post by: trophyhunt on December 28, 2011, 06:51:24 AM: I would have some feed out, he should be dropping that head gear pretty soon. I once stuck a ''doe'' on dec 30th a few years ago, it only went 20yds and dropped. I walked up to it and turns out it was a buck that had already lost his antlers. The bases were big enough to at least be a two point, I was dissapointed that it turned out to be a buck though. If I'd had known I would have let him walk, I looked everywhere for his antlers but never did find them.

Nice 5 point...Stickem and have some steaks.

Post by: buckman202 on December 28, 2011, 01:22:22 PM: If eyeguards are more than an inch I see a 5x5 there. Eye guards or not a point is a point
Title: Re: deadwood blacktail
Post by: bobcat on December 28, 2011, 01:29:48 PM: Yes an eyeguard is a point. I don't think anybody disputes that. But that buck is still a 4 point buck. With eyeguards. Yes, that does give it 5 points on each side. But it's a 4x4 w/eyeguards. That's just the way they are described and it's always been that way.

:yeah: That's exactly right and cannot be explained any better. Can't even understand how this keeps comming up.

If the state says anything over an inch I count anything over an inch.

Well a spike bull elk with 2 eye guards on the same side is not a three point in this state. The state just says its a two point.
Title: Re: deadwood blacktail
Post by: buckman202 on December 28, 2011, 09:54:22 PM: 10 point buck in my book :tup:
Title: Re: deadwood blacktail
Post by: jeepguy on December 28, 2011, 10:32:02 PM: well technically by the rules in the regs that is a 5x5 but old school count 4x4 it is harder to judge body size on him but i would guess 150 lbs tops whole.

Post by: MuleyorBust on December 29, 2011, 10:16:10 AM: if your going to start siding with the crazy officials of this state, which I would highly suggest you think hard about... that it could be considered a 5x5 but it it will always be a 4x4 with eyegaurds to me!

I don't know what 150 lbs whole is ... but live weight is over 230 lbs for sure. Great looking buck!

Post by: ANDERWAGON on January 04, 2012, 05:41:54 PM: Great looking buck, thanks for sharing the pics. :tup:

Yeah 4x4-5x5, I personally would call it a 4 point with eye gaurds but what would your harvest reports say. It would say 5 points on the left and 5 point on the right. Let him call it what he wants, you guys are way to critical. :twocents:
