buck down

[wawhitey]

Well heres my WA buck this year. I may head over to ID to try for another. Got him first thing this morning, saw him beating up a smaller buck so i lent the little guy a hand. Not a bad buck, but sometime between when i pulled the trigger, and when i walked up to him, he lost 15 or 20 inches

Good job! Congratulations! did you shoot him with your hand-cannon?

[wawhitey]

Nope, winchester model 88. If i go to idaho ill be bringing the .460 though.

Awesome. Congrats on a nice buck. I head over Tuesday, hopefully the big ones are moving during the day light where I'm at.

Well at 6 am i opened the drapes on one of my living room windows, and there was a big old 4x4 hitting the mock scrape i made about 30 yards from my house.  Then he walked around to the back of the house and started in rubbing about a 3 inch tree for a while.  Then i looked back out the other window again, and there on the scrape is a big old stud 5x5!  Not only that but another 4x4 is about 20 yards from him working over some brush until the 5x went over to stomp him, at which pointvthe 4x wisely got out of the way.  Then no **** 2 more decentv4x4s xame down my trail and pretty much took turns on the scrape.  5 bucks all within bow range of my living room window this morning acting rutty as hell, and two of them are bigger than the buck i hung my tag on saturday

oh man! thats got to be rough seeing all those dandies after tagging your buck already. but remember, you cant eat antlers . I'm glad you have no shortage of bucks in your area. Do you think you will hold out next year, and hunt from your house/shoot through an open window?

[wawhitey]

Lol no, i dont plan on hunting from my living room, that doesnt sound too fun. Just killed me though, seeing the rut kind of explode as soon as i notched my tag. Ill just have to go out cougar hunting i think. Have too much stuff to take care of around home right now to go running off to idaho to get my whitetsil rut fix

Congrats on filling the tag on a nice buck. Good luck on the next one

A big old 5x4 walked right through my yard this morning about 20 yards away. Twice the size of the buck i got saturday. Damn damn damn

[wawhitey]

Good looking 4x4 bedded 15 yards from my porch right now. Hes been hanging around for a couple hours now. I think hes smart enough to know this is a hotspot for does. Why run yourself into the ground looking forvthem when you can relax and let them come to you?

[wawhitey]

Cleaned up and on the wall
