NBomb500 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well, the story with this buck is pretty short. Last year I hunted hard after a buck I called phantom. And another buck I called hoss. Never got either of the bucks and one of them was killed by another hunter late season and scored 177 and some change. So I decided to shoot this guy! Not too big but the first buck I'd shot in over 4 years and I wanted a little meat in the freezer. Almost all of the meat went toward my homemade blend of jerky and was pretty dang good!This year I got at least one buck on my hit list and hope to have more as it gets closer to huntin season. The buck on my hit list this year I call wide guy. Last year he looked like he was already around the 23 or wider mark so there is good potential for him this year. All from Montana...

Stinger-Hunter Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 That's a great buck. I wonder what her scored.. if you had him scored at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBomb500 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 That's a great buck. I wonder what her scored.. if you had him scored at all. Nope never had him scored. A buck I got a few years back looked very similar to this one and it scored 155, however this one is not that big...I'll post another picture up here soon. This is only the second buck I've ever taken and the 1st in about 4 years so I was happy to put one on the ground and get some good meat!!!

Stinger-Hunter Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Sorry about the typo! I hate when I do that. I haven't taken a buck (except for Minnesota) in several years myself - and certainly not as big as that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I'd say you got the blue tounge, Pap hit the ranch in Ismay last week and said they got hit hard down there. Good luck on the wide guy, when I'm hunting pennsylvania I hold out for a 6 x 6. 6" high and at least 6" wide. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBomb500 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 dandy buck Thanks wyohunter... Stinger-Hunter- Yeah it's nice to take a buck after such a long time. J beck- Yeah I guess we got it pretty bad in the State of Montana this year. Luckily it has froze the last couple of nights so that should end the blue tongue! And I guess out by my fokes they didn't get hit at all so that's a huge plus!!! I know the milk river got hit hard and our area did too about two years ago and wiped out about 90%. Not good for the deer populations, but they are slowly coming back. How's things lookin in your neck of the woods!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBomb500 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks okbowman and Matthews XT Man! Hey Coles, thanks! I'm itchin to get out too! You have any deer loss over there this year? Guess the Milk River got hit hard. Good luck on the antelope! Dang, you'll have your hands full scoutin out that many. Sounds like a good time!

coles Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 No man, we dont have an disease over here. My buddy guides for Milk River Outfitters and i just got a text from him the other day saying they most of their deer are dead from some sort of blue tongue like disease. Ill be sure to keep you updated though. I think my neck is starting to swell already...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBomb500 Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 - Hey Coles, yeah we had blue tongue in our area a couple years ago and it sure does wipe them out. I heard that milk river outfitters isn't even going to have a season for a few years. Is that true, crazY! Pretty bad deal anyway. Ya, I'm starting to get pretty excited myself! Not too long now. - Thanks Stinger-hunter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 About Montana - no antelope tags for out of staters this year. South Dakota either. That hard March snow a couple years ago did a number on them (south east MT and NW SD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBomb500 Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Stinger-Hunter- Yeah it was a rough go of er for all the wildlife out here this past winter. Fortunately the deer in our area did quite well. Not much for winter kill or disease! Not too many antelope though. Thanks Shaun_300!

Just went out a bit and seeing quite a bit, but nothing too big this year. It's been pretty hard on them the last few years. Let me know whats going on man, you'll have to give me a call sometime.
