You have a special tag?

i guessing he bow hunts

Archery is open till the 31st.

Cool!

Jeebus...seems like between the many of you hunting at Vail you've seen a grand total of 2,539 deer, and no one's shot one? What the hell is going on here? I need some deer sausage and jerky, and since I haven't hunted myself in many years, I'm depending on you guys...get it done, goddammit!

Fish on...

Todd

Be sure to let me know how that works out for ya.........

Heading out for another hike tomorrow, hoping to close the deal so Todd and I will have some sausage and jerky for the winter.
I've heard how Todd can be when he doesn't get his sausage.

Normally I just see the doe with the yearling fawn(?) traipsing through the yard, but yesterday I was up on the roof cleaning out the rain gutters when two fork horn came up the hill, passed by the house, and walked down the driveway like they do it all the time. First time I've seen them, one a larger buck and the other a little guy that I first thought was a spike, but his antlers forked also. Smallest set of forked antlers I've ever seen.

And I think hunting season in my yard just coincides with whatever the general season is. Maybe we're open for archery; I haven't checked.

Time for a Antlermax Block and a trail camera Salmo... Time to see what you really have hanging out there. If'n you've got some forkies, you've got bigger bucks. Sure is fun to see what you really have....

Might even have you one of these... I'm letting him grow and gonna take the #1 spot in Columbia Blacktail with Archery but he's gotta net over 158" and he's 140ish right now IMHO.... This year he's a bit bigger with forks in the back like the front and a true 4x4, Next year, he's dead!

Then again, I might go look for him in the AM.. I'm feeling a little frisky....





Sure is pretty, isn't he...

Keith

What a nice buck!

I wasn't using my trail cam for security any more, so I sold it to a co-worker who photographs the deer around his house. Yeah, I wonder what critters come up out of the creek bottom up my hill and down the driveway at night. It's like a wildlife freeway. The trail up to the "jump" spot for crossing the fence across the road is really well-worn.

I really ejoyed my trail cam until it got stolen. What a STUD of a buck. I'm still tryin to bag my first branched archery buck. Blown 3 opportunities so far so any big doe I come across is in danger. Keith...that is a blacktail of a lifetime IMO, take him before the cats or poachers do!

Just noticed the pics are from almost two years ago, he probably died of old age!
