ok so here it goes.....about 1 hour ago i was driving down my gravel road to my house after visiting my dad, as i was driving down the road i have a small cut in one of my field where i can look for deer and as i went my the cut at about 15-20 mph THERE HE STOOD!!!! middle of the day...i took my phone out and backed up and took a picture of him ...he was 150 yards away so the pic looks horable and you can barley tell its a buck.....my first glance at this deer when i drove by was OMG there was a mule deer, he is so old and gray he really looked like a mule deer....so i got a picture and pulled out my binos because you never know when ull NEED THEM!!!! The best i would tell i have a 180+ inch typical 12 pointer living smack dap in the middle of my 350 achar farm....this deer is so old that his ears droop downward ....like i said the pic was taking with my phone and is horable BUT i have 3 cuddyback cameras set out in his area know so im hopin and praying i get pictures of him. ALSO a few i will be chasing this year IF i cant find the GIANT i saw today, Ole niner, Split G2, and a nice 10 point
Also this is the buck i took last year during archery season 161" 10 point 6 year old deer that had evaded my for 2 years....weighed in a 268 lbs on hoof and 225 feild dressed
WOW awsome deer leupold. If you need any help culling a few of them let me know I hope you get a few trail cam pics of him
Hey man thanks for the offer, and I just may take you up on it. Holy smokes those are some nice deer. And I can't even imagine a 268 pound deer. The couple iv killed that went in the #180 pound range were tough to drag but geez! 268 pounds? WOW
well Guys i say 180+ because i really think he will be closer to the 200 mark ....but honestly 99 out of 100 ppl who say they seen a 200" deer i dont belive...did they see a nice deer yes was it 200" no it was really a 150. there is more to this story than i told ....this happend around 2 pm today well around 3 pm i took my binos and cuddybacks out to where i seen him well .....like a fool i should of waited but he bedded down 10 yards to the right in the picture in a fence roll. i got 20 yards from him before he seen me (and i seen him) and got up and ran about 40 yards and stoped to look at me for a GOOD 15 sec. Guys i got a good look at this deer...i have seen alot of 160-180 " deer ....and none of them got my heart going like this but .....as soon as i get pics ill post them. I think today i seen my first 200" deer BUT i could be wrong....but god guys he is one beautiful buck .deff my # one for this year....BTW did i mention i think this guy lives 300yard from my house....i just never put cameras there...lol well i will deff keep you guys up to day
Damn man goodluck with that hope you get that big guy it would be cool to be part of the team with the biggest buck.
thanks button see these other teams are already putting scores up so now we can see the little point we have to beat
Man that is some nice deer! Good luck on getting 1 of them. Boy it is hard staying on the front page. I should know this weekend if i get the lease on the 300 acres i looked at this week, theres a 40 on it that looks really good but he is not sure if it will go with it, not sure if it would be a deal breaker but the price would have to drop quite a bit if it don't go with it. Running out of time fast, If it is a go we will have some stands and cameras hung this weekend.
Our expanded archery season starts tomorrow, i might be able to get out in the afternoon, depending on when i get home from my sons football game. I have a couple of spots in our expanded zone, but i have put no work in scouting. Will be nice just to sit in a tree.
Hey goodluck man hope you get a big one. I will be hanging my last couple tree stands tommrow and will get to start hunting on the 15th of Sept.
