pics from sat

Nice finds. I havent been able to get out much but this nice weather is giving me the itch!

Well done, thanks for sharing! :thumb

That a boy looks good to me! Keep the pics coming!!!!

Congrats on your finds. Thanks for posting them. You said 18" of snow. I assume your up near cache valley?

ya i am in brighamcity

Great finds. Anytime you find something it is a great day. Good luck in the future, when all that snow melts.

VERY NICE!

Funny, I was out and about this weekend and spotted a small forkie that was still packing is antlers. Not sure if he just hasn't hit that magical drop point yet or had something else going on (stag or cactus buck). He didn't stick around long enough for me to get a good look at him. I just thought it was a bit odd that he was still packing.

Spikes and 2 points sometimes pack way longer than older bucks,at least here they do.

Yea NONYA, they do. The shedding, just like the growing of antlers and the harding/loss of velvet, is triggered and driven by testosterone levels and since the young ones don't have the strong testosterone "kicks" they tend to lag behind the big boys (I know you know this...just typing for the heck of it).

I wasn't sure if he was just late or had other issues since he was the ONLY one I saw sporting head gear out of the 100+ deer I saw Friday. Anyone else still seeing youngen's packing bone?


BTW: Killerbee, in case you read this: I saw a BEAUTIFUL full curl ram at the mouth of the John Day on Sunday. Man, I wish I had taken my camera on that trip! I actually saw over 30 head but he was far and away the most impressive!

there are some whoppers in there aren't there?my wife gets so P.o.'d when we drive up to hermistin to visit friends. i'm usually taking up both lanes of traffic trying to spot sheep! but i love that drive, seems like i spot sheep almost every trip. i try to always take my camera now, problem is the exits are so far apart sometimes you have to drive 10 miles to hit an exit to go bach another 12 miles to take an exit back the direction you were going, thenget people honking at me for going 15 miles an hr making sure i dont drive past them...... [ well i've done it a couple times lol ] they are fun to see. last week on the eastmans hunting channel there was a 2 part eppisode where they did that float with someone who drew the tag. that is my DREAM sheep hunt! it was very cool to see a full video of it.
oh and yeap, YOU SHOULDA HAD YOUR CAMERA!! :thumb

I hadn't realized how many sheep were in that area. I make that drive along I-84 every once in a while when the passes here in WA are closed (This weekend they were getting pounded with snow) but hadn't been through there in about 2 years. Even then, I never remember seeing so many sheep along that highway. (If I had I would have most certainly had my camera with me)


I am just like you , my friend. I was driving about 20 mph and kept stopping to check out the sheep....the whole while folks were honking at me and going around me...LOL. I'm sure I got a few of the "one finger waves" and was called every name in the book but I was enjoying myself.

Floating the John Day for sheep, huh? Man, I bet that was one heck of a fun hunt!!! I'm sure they were floating it WAY FURTHER upriver than were I was (John Day/Columbia confluence along I-84) since, and correct me if I am wrong here, the John Day turnes into something of a small stream around McDonald, OR before picking up steam again prior to hitting the Columbia.

looks good. Thanks for showing us the pics. That 3 pt. is a good one!

my dad sunday night had a small 2pt at his house that was still packing. he took a video of it to show me that way i would believe him.
