Saw this guy. Thought urbanhog would crap himself.
I'm counting 12, maybe more.Busse Jim said:THAT is one impressive Buck! Great shot
I'm seeing 10 points, is that how you count them?
Yeah I counted 12, and possibly even 14.charliebravo77 said:I'm counting 12, maybe more.Busse Jim said:THAT is one impressive Buck! Great shot

Those crazies will come right up to you. I once had a wacky doe following me around a pond in Bartlett. It was getting so close, I wondered if she had rabies or was just retarded. A few times @ the DPR around N Riverside, the sun set on me and man, they came out thick in the dark like mosquitoes and surrounded me, moving in close with little or no fear of man.catchafew said:Did you have to use some massive zoom lens to get those pictures?
Shot was taken with a Gen 1 Canon G7 - in its day a high-end point & shoot. So no massive lens. But our local FP deer are pretty used to people so you can get really close.catchafew said:Did you have to use some massive zoom lens to get those pictures?
If that one little short point on his right side is at least 1 inch long, then it's considered a point, and he'd be a 14, but yeah, after looking at it more closely, he's 100% a 13, and possibly a 14. Either way, that's one hell of a buck. Have to hope some lurker doesn't go looking for it to poach it. :shock:Rambler said:Shot was taken with a Gen 1 Canon G7 - in its day a high-end point & shoot.

By my count he has 13 points. I used to run into his great grand dad - a legit 14 pointer. 1st time I saw him was on the DPR trail & I thought somehow an elk had gotten loose. Maybe 15 winters ago I saw him - he had a gimpy front leg. I thought, "well pal, this is the last time I'll see you". And it was.
Here are a couple more shots.
A couple winters ago in those same woods I saw a tree stand. Nobody home but I looked around & found an arrow. I took it to FPD HQ & told them where I found it and where the tree stand was. Not sure what they did about it but the next time I was over there it was gone. WTF is wrong with people?SmalliesNEyes said:Have to hope some lurker doesn't go looking for it to poach it.
Don't think you need me to answer that question. And yeah, poachers suck.Rambler said:A couple winters ago in those same woods I saw a tree stand. Nobody home but I looked around & found an arrow.
