Monster Buck

Monster Buck (7/7)

10

Reputation

  1. Purchased as a store demo in 2021. Used mostly around the house for last year, virtually no signs of wear. Glass is perfect. Comes with original box and accessories. Looking for $1300, shipped to your door or local pickup for $1250. PM if interested. Matt
  2. Looking for one of the older model Double Bull T2 blinds in predator camo with the carbon rods. The 12 lb. blind made before Primos bought out Double Bull. Interested in one that is in good to new condition. Included a pic below I found online. Any takers please send me a PM or email to [email protected]
  3. Really nice buck. Congrats!
  4. My taxidermist aged him at 5 1/2. Which I would say is accurate given the mass. He was more than 5 miles as the crow flies from a cornfield. So, on browse and acorns I figure he'd have to be mature body wise to start putting on mass like that.
  5. Thanks guys - ruttinbuck, I shot it in Elk county, if you can believe that. Some guys are saying they think it will be in the top 10 ever shot in that county since there's very little cropland there.
  6. Been a while since I've hit up the forums but I had to show this to everyone. I'm busy working full time, and doing my master's too... so all the rest of my free time is either eating, sleeping, or hunting. After a long archery season, passing up tons of little bucks, first day of gun season I got this guy 3pm Monday. Inside spread is 20 1/2", outside spread is 24", several circumference measurements are at 6". Back tines at 10" and 11". Early estimates of score at 155-160", I do plan to have it officially scored. Thanks for looking... enjoy. Was hunting in a new area on public land. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/g3YHjILZHzN7ppEKRmxZPnaM9S1bSzDltrwTupRUXxQ?feat=directlink http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/WAmVd_oBUhgxjQvZjxG_KHaM9S1bSzDltrwTupRUXxQ?feat=directlink
  7. Hi folks: To those who've had luck since I stopped in last, Ruth, ssky, fly, jm's fiance.... congrats on the bucks - the pics look great! I know I haven't been around much. I got transferred about 220 miles for work around Thanksgiving time, so as you can imagine its been nuts getting everything under control before Christmas, which was my goal (as well as to NOT miss any hunting days!!). Anyway, everything is all settled and I should have a couple slower days here this week. The deer, well, I've been the focus of some family persecution... You see, I've passed 5 legal bucks this year. 4 eight points, and one 9 point. The widest of these was probably 15 inches, the smallest, 10 inches. One of the eight points was in the 90" range. The others were all 80" or less. I've got these game cam pics of 130" deer (that burrow into the ground or something during the day). And I just decided I can't shoot a little one if I want to get a big one; in PA we only get one tag. There is 3 weeks of late archery season left.. I have shot bucks at this time of year before - with any luck I will this year too! I'm trying to stay positive, but I gotta say my standards do lower as the season closes. I'm probably going to take a doe the day after Christmas. Then as time draws to a close I may shoot a buck the size of one I passed earlier in the year. Well, I wish everyone continued success, and a Blessed Christmas with family and friends!
  8. DSGB and ssky, nice deer - Congrats!! Well I've had a rough few weeks, getting transferred to a new work territory. Glad to have a job but boy its been keeping me busy. I did get out two weeks ago a few days, and passed up a little nice 8 point, it was about 12 inches wide, maybe 85" buck. Had him at 6 yards. Then nothing until last night. Went out and deer were chasing all over. I saw a spike and a 6 point and three does before I even got to my stand. Once on stand, I had a really good 8 point, about 110", come in to 30 yards but was chasing a doe and screened by brush. Grunting like crazy. Well, my luck, I forgot my grunt call and tried to fake a few to no avail. Anyway, it was great to get some action. Tonight I went out and had deer running on both hillsides (I was sitting in a bottom). Grunting and chasing, again, through the timber. Didn't have any come into shooting range or good view. Hopefully this coming Thursday and Saturday I will be able to get some serious time in the woods. Things are really heating up in PA. I've also got a real nice 21" wide 120 class 8 point with a G2 sticker on the trailcam. Saturday is the last day of archery before rifle, so we'll see what happens!
  9. Fly, congrats on the meat! I jumped a doe on the way in to the stand saturday evening, in the morning I didn't see anything. I got set up in the afternoon and about 30 mins before dark I saw 2 does and 2 yearlings. Better than nothing, which is what I had been seeing. So then on Sunday I went out to put my camera back up and found a scrape right beneath a stand I was planning to hunt (but didn't) the night before. Next to the scrape, a rub, on a 10 inch tree!! I couldn't help but think it was the big buck I'm after and that he was prancing around there the prior night when I was in another tree. Anyway on with the story, so I get on the quad and take a ride past the tree I actually was in the night before when I saw the 4 deer. I catch something out of the corner of my eye as I pass the tree. My hunters' eye didn't fail me, it was antler in the brush. Then, I saw the whole rack. It was that 10 point, bedded, only his rack showing. I put the quad in reverse and he stayed there, got out my good camera which I had slung over my back, and snapped a few pics. He was bedded literally 8 feet from the cherry tree I had put my climber up in the previous night. I couldn't believe it. He then took a few quick bounds and naturally, didn't give me a good photo opp in the time he got into deeper woods. So I just have the pics of his antlers above the brush but I will try to upload these tonight. The antlers turned really white and he looked BIG as he ran away. Sadly I may or may not have the chance to hunt him again this coming Saturday due to work that we have to get done at the camp (putting on a new deck).. Anyway check back guys and girls for the pics!
  10. Hey Ruth, let us know if you post any cool pics from the pull. I got a rear shot of that nice 10 last weekend, not exactly worth posting, but I put the camera back up over some oaks that are dropping buckets of acorns so maybe I'll have something decent to share next week; or maybe even some ground shots of a buck.. but it will have to be a dandy to take on day 1.
  11. jm, I'm headed back to my parents in Indiana county to bowhunt for the opener this weekend. Whereabouts will you be hunting, I see you have posted you live in Southcentral PA. I grew up in Indiana county but live in Lancaster county now. What company do you work for? I do industrial safety consulting for a larger insurance carrier in the area. Right now they're saying 30% chance of showers, high of 62, low of 47. I can deal with that. But we still got two whole days for them to get it right...
