Title: Been watching this one
Post by: centaur on November 17, 2014, 03:39:00 PM
I have been seeing this deer several times in the past couple of weeks. Each time I see him, I am more interested. We finally got out of single digits today, and I went out and found him trying to get lucky on an adjoining property. He is very adept at not letting me get a good look at his antlers; I always see him a long way off, or right at dark. I watched him make a scrape a few days ago, and this evening, I am going to sit on that to see if I can get better eyes on him. He is a 4x5, the 5th point being a split brow tine. Not a heavy rack, but a big bodied buck that is mature. The feeding deer in the pic is a mature doe, for comparison. The chess game continues.

Hope you get a crack at him. He is a dandy buck! The bodies on those deer up there dwarf the deer down here!

Great deer and as always great picture. What camera are you using?

He didn't show tonight, but 4 other bucks did; one weirdo (3 on one side, spike on the other), 2 small 4x4s, and a forkhorn. Could have shot any of these, but I'm waiting on my buddy to show . It is supposed to get up to 40 tomorrow; shorts and t shirt weather!

I watched an 8 pointer from the house yesterday, not overly impressed.
Until I tried to get closer and had a better look - at him running away. Much better deer than I thought.
That body size alone is enough for me, great comparison with the doe.
Good Luck! You sound determined to have him with the passing of the others.
