In Pursuit of "Cover"

great post!

my guess is the buck you put 9 cameras on is a young buck with great potential. Either way I cant wait to see the rest of the story and see how he turns out. Thanks for posting!

looks like the buck posing for the camera turned out to be an incredible one by a few post down. The trail camera photo of this buck made it look like a very young buck compared to the big heavy bodied bucks you posted videos of.

congrats to the hunter! Do you have any idea what the age of the buck was?

About 3-4 weeks before the hunt was to start I got a call from my friend saying he had found an absolute GIANT. Here is the pics he took through his spotter that morning, just an absolute beast of a buck. His back forks were unreal, as was his right front. Check out the cheaters on his left and the big one that splits. Truly an impressive Mule Deer. We had one problem, he spent most of his life on Private Property also.

What are the odds of this big boy leaving "cover" of private ground?

If the bucks keep growing this fast then I sure can't wait to see where the post ends up.

I can tell you one thing that it doesn't end with one of these deer in front of my smiling face.

Well it's August 1st and yep you guessed it, I'm still at it. Searching for the elusive Mule Deer.

Here is what I found that day, you should recognize these bucks from some previous posts. They are looking really nice now, and I was pleasantly surprised at how the wide 4x5 turned out from my 1st time seeing him this summer. He was looking good and wide (I have photos of him for 3 straight years.)

My Favorite of the day, the "Chipmunk" buck.

(On Private Ground)

Aug. 2nd the next day, things are going to turn in my favor...

Well it's August 2nd and the morning turns into a good one, actually a GREAT one. I finally found a buck I've been looking for all summer and was on my list from 2011. See first page of this thread (buck in top left corner) that's him. He was AWESOME last year and this year he is a 5x5 with inlines on the inside back on both sides. He is tall, heavy and just a pretty buck.

My friend managed to get a pic of him in 2010...

Here is my pic of him in 2011

And my video from 2012 on August 2nd (no still pics) he was a long ways off and I videoed him with my home brew spotting scope adapter on 40x power.

As good as August 2nd was, (and it was good) August 3rd was even better (a lot) better; the big boy was about to break "cover"...
