Sharing time...a summer of a BIG buck!

Okay, I'll admit I've been holding out on this one for a while, unsure how bad and how much I wanted to share...knowing I'd share him just not sure when. :)

So here goes...I've watched this buck grow all summer and knew he was going to be SPECIAL after this trail cam picture...

more later...

and hopefully the pics will get better and better, until the actual harvest pictures. No I'm not the lucky one. But someone is. :thumb

I've got several pics from trail cam, still pictures, and finally the harvested pics.

Hope you enjoy the ride...

Now that's not fair....if there's one thing that drives me nuts more than waiting for something is KNOWING that someone else ALREADY knows!

besides, your drive would be one heck of a lot shorter than my drive!

I know what you mean. Old Ridgetop had the short version of his elk hunt over on the UDWR forum for awhile before he finished it here. It was killing me to tell everyone but it wasn't my story to tell so I kept my mouth shut.

I'll go find out what the whole story is then I'll meet you half way and tell it to you. I'm sure after all of that driving that I'll remember the story word for word and won't mess it up any. :-k

I've seen your photoshop work first hand so I think that you could keep the material flowing all winter long. :not-worthy

There is a story to him, unfortunately I don't know for sure but I'm afraid it's not a good one. Don't think anyone got him, but he was wounded and I FEAR now dead. Not sure though??

Okay back to business...couple more trail cam pics of he "BIG BOY"

Here is a LIVE day shot of him...

I spent several outings trying to get photos of him, (very tough to do) I finally had some LUCK on my side and was able to get some shots of him from about 75 yards.

Here is the 1st one, he looks more impressive with the sun shining. :)

WOW what a buck, I'm not saying that to brag. I'm not the one who got him, but this is probably the BEST still shot I've ever taken of a MONSTER BUCK! Been a lot of work. :)

I think that quote better applies to this picture, THIS is why muleys are my top priority whenever i have a chance to be in the field. That pic captures what these marvelous creatures are all about and why so many people take aww to them over any other wild animal. beautiful pic brett, congrats!! I imagine you had quite a time getting this picture, but i'd say that work payed itself off quite well, wouldnt you? fantastic! again, thanks!

Okay here he is in all his GLORY. Long story to this buck, I've never met the hunter or spoken to him. But hope to soon, because he just killed one of the most impressive bucks I've ever watched.

And I watched him for a long time...

Enjoy and I hope to have the hunters story and other photos in the near future.

Whew.

Made it through another great story.

Just got back from the hospital. I was getting my tounge stiched back together. It was draging on the floor when the chair rolled over it when I went to get up from the desk. I don't know what hurt worse the running over of the stiching up. :)

Great deer hope to hear the story some day.

Brett,

Do you know if it was taken on the archery season?

:)) You're a great guy and hillarious. Glad to have you around.

I do actually know the whole story, but want the hunter to tell it in his words not mine. :)

Yes it was ARCHERY

In honor of Cody.. "Nice deer!" :))

What a great looking deer! It must be pretty cool to watch something "grow up" like that, all the way until when it was harvested. That is for sure something most hunters will never get a chance to do.
