Whats a bench leg buck?

[270Shooter]

i am being very conservative here but an easy 190+. I have never seen a buck this big before. I almost had a heart attack. He stood up 10 yards from me. Oct. 31 2008. that day will haunt me the rest of my life. His forks were at least a foot long or better and he was a heavy, wide, black antlered 28 inches wide and very tall.

ya i am still doing that  I see him everynight I try to close my eyes

[boneaddict]

Well mine ain't nearly that big

[Red Dawg]

you can bet that I will going hard for him this next year. Although chances are slim since this area is very thick and hard to hunt but I will give her hell. Lets see your bench bone. I have heard you talk about it before but I have not seen a pic yet.

[270Shooter]

Ya would love to see a pic if you have one bone. I really like the mass on red dawg's buck too.

[boneaddict]

I'll try to find it.  Hes on here.

Nice buck bone what is he 170 class? Love that cape he's got.

[Red Dawg]

wow that is a real nice buck bone. I have seen a few that are about that size. I have not seen one like that with the cheaters though. Double eyeguards look familiar. Is that a general buck. We have shot about 4 bucks about his size maybe not quite as wide though. we seem to get into the old regressed massive bucks that tend to stay at te 20'' mark.

[boneaddict]

Shot him in the general (rifle) with my bow.

[Red Dawg]

whoooo even better. To bad that the heards arent doing so great these days, they will come back.

[boneaddict]

Not so bad around our neck of the woods.  I've seen nicer bucks down here lately than I have elsewhere in the state.  Most don't measure up,but I like big ole bucks with mass, and thats what these big benchlegs like yours have.

[Red Dawg]

ya they are my fave. They do get some of the coolest racks around.  I have seen quite a few whopper 3 points. I like the ones that have that red color to the antlers. We hunted true mulies for the first time this year in Idaho and after that I prefer my bench bucks even though they typically dont get as big.

I saw more deer this year west of yakima than I have ever seen. Granted I have only been deer hunting for 4 years. Saw one big buck but he was in the oak trees and was gone before I got a good look at him.

Great buck Bone.  I dig that cape with the double throat patch too.  You do some of your own taxidermy, don't you?
