My 2003 10X4 Nontypical
My 2003 10X4 Nontypical
Here's some pics of my 2003 10X4 nontypical that I took on Nov 19th. He's definately got some character. Not the biggest that I saw. Saw a high 180 class typical with deep forks and great height and great mass chasing a doe in a birch type. No shooting lane presented itself. Next day, same area I missed a 180 mainframe buck with a 9+inch dropper and several extras. Too much brush to shoot through. Went in there the 3rd day and found this buck. When I saw those dropper cheaters I knew I had to take him.

Muleyslyr,
I never did get to see that wide buck during the season. I chased around huge tracks in the timber below timberline where he lived several times in Sept and Oct but never did see hide nor hair of the owner of the tracks.
I shot my 10X4 at about 40 yards in the same piece of timber as the other 2 big ones I saw that week. I'm really happy with him. Even though he doesn't have much of a mainframe, his character far outweighs his score. He grosses 190 NT which isn't bad. But his triple droppers are what I find appealing.
The big wide buck will have to wait for me next year. Hopefully I can find him this winter and then find his sheds.
I've already found one monster just the other day who will definately go over 200 NT that has some amazing mass. I hope that I can pick up his sheds after he drops. He is definately a HAWG!

BC...do you get much competition out there when your shed hunting, or hunting period, or do you have such a big area in which to hunt. For a guy like me living down below you, it's tough shed hunting around here and especially tough to find that deer during the season. You're pretty fortunate, enjoy it while you can.
