Big Buck Series IV
«

This guy was in a place I always see a big buck. Idabooner and I struck out there and I blamed it on the logging in the area. I saw this buck last year as a five point. He was more massive last year about about 3 inches less wide. Interesting trade off. He was teh 5 point I saw right at dark with the 30 inch longhorn two point in tow last year. It was too dark for pics then, and almost this time. I parked on him and waited for it to get more light. It didn't much. I took some pics with two different cameras. The monopod just didn't cut it, but I had time to set up the tripod. Then set the timer at 2 seconds to remove the shake from touching the camera. This guy was dangerously close to the Idaho line. There are enough loggers packin' that he better duck. I watched him for a long time, then finally pulled myself away to look for bigger bucks. I should have spent all day on him. I went along and came back. He had moved about 1000 yards up the hill and was going ape nuts with two hot does and a decent 4 point that had accidentally joined the fray. I watched for another 20 then headed on.

do you have to have a special permit where your getting the pics, or can you hunt there with a regular tag?

This is with the second camera. It was literally almost dark when I started shooting with this camera on the tripod.

Very nice work Boneaddict, I hope he keeps dodging the bullet for a few more years, it would be interesting to see how he develops year after year. Besides we can sure use a lot of his genes.
Being an old horse breeder I'd say he's a little light in the hips but he's got a good back and fair frame. Ya I know you guys are mostly looking at the head gear, but an old Indian guide told me once, while shaking his head "All bone no eat".

Any thoughts on this guys spread? Like the last one, I want to hear honest thoughts. Does he make 30 inches? I was thinking his frame was about 28-29. short of thirty. Its hard to tell. Last year, he was more impressive, but its not from receeding from age. Just different grub this year, and he moved it a bit elsewhere. I've always liked mass more than spread, but when I caught a glimpse of this guy I about ....my pants.

My guess is he'll make 28", but just that maybe a shade over.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
