Strut10 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Two weeks ago yesterday (2 days before our gun opener) I went around and changed camera cards. One one camera i got a really neat series of pics. There were two bucks in varying stages of staring, posturing and shoving. Great pics had the lens not been wet from rain. Anyways............here they are (then I'll tell you the twist): Now.................... here's the twist. The little 6-pointer is the buck my daughter, Lilmissdangerous, killed on opening day. This past Thursday afternoon, my brother killed the wide 8-pointer. Kind of a neat twist, I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yeah, that's pretty cool. I have to go over to my neighbor's one of these days to see if he has a pic of the deer I shot. I'd like to see what he had before he got broke off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 That is pretty cool Don. Sparring and posturing sequences are always nice to see on card pulls, that is except during the velvet growing stage. Few years back my wife killed one with the ml'er we never knew was around, got pics of him on a camera just before she killed him, pulled the card a few days after she shot the deer and had a few pics of him. Oldest daughters first deer similar, did not get any pics of him until a few days before she shot him and was not aware he was around until pulling the card after she had shot the deer. Kinda cool. Real cool you got those bucks sparring before it played out as it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 nice twist. boy that cudde back takes some nice pics IMO ya just can't beat the Cuddebacks. These pics are actually quite blurred for my cameras. I think there was water on the lens from a bunch of rain we were getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I did not put my camera out until later this year. I would have liked to got a buck period let alone 2 sparring. Nice pictures. They both look to have good genetics. Well, did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pictures. They both look to have good genetics. Well, did. The 8 has (had) outstanding genetics. I believe him to be a son of a 24 1/2" wide (inside spread) 3 1/2 year buck my buddy shot in 2007 within 100 yards of where this pic was snapped. The 6, while a trophy of a lifetime for my daughter, IMHO, is genetic garbage. No brows. There's been an awful abundance of "no brow" bucks starting about 3-4 years into the Alt abortion. Bucks without brows are likely to never be legal in my part of PA (except to kids). So they, for the most part, get to die of old age and breed the whole time, spreading their "no brow" genes.

ruttinbuc Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 In looking at the buck from here he appears to be too young to tell what he may have turned into. I am lost in all of the hub bub of QDM in respect to what I have experienced here. It very well may be the doe is carrying that trait. You would know better about the deer on your ranch. I'm sure the meat tastes no different regardless. I saw the thrill in the pictures of your daughter's hunt. There is no doubt that what hunting is all about as it always has been.

There is no doubt that what hunting is all about as it always has been. True that!! It's just a good thing she got her first buck this season. Had she done it next year (when she's on an adult license) she would be sorely disappointed. Gary Alt decided (before he disappeared) that her 6 pointer can, in no way, be a trophy to an adult in this part of the state. And therefore it would have been illegal and off limits to her..................... no matter how happy it would have made her to shoot it.
