as most of you know i'm hunting hard around my house for a couple big bucks. well my buddies hit my favorite mountain today for rifle season and I had them check my trail cam.  been rumor's of a real slammer up there for 2 years now but have had no pics until today....

yeah that's a brute for around here!!!!

That is a bruiser!

Go get him Ken ....

Damn! That's a nice one!

That's a good one. Good luck on him.

Very nice!

I highly doubt I will get much time to hunt him as I am concentrating on hunting a couple bucks close to home. this buck is in the Northern Zone and the rifle hunters are up there but not where he is. this is the exact place I was hoping to bring a couple members from here but I could not get the week I wanted for vacation. this buck was seen in velvet about 4 miles down the road from here which is where everyone including myself believed him still to be. this is the first pic's anyone has got from him in over a year. I will give it a go in late archery season.

Good luck! He is a real beauty!

On Sunday I got out for an evening sit after seeing that 8 pt I talked about a couple of posts up. Put up a new stand for a east blowing wind and got settled in around 3:30pm. Around 4:30pm a lil 4pt chases a doe in front of my stand. He had a nice little rack but I let him walk since I've got pictures of at least 5 bucks with messed up racks that need to be culled. He was the only buck I saw but had a bunch of does wind me later on. The wind was around 20mph with some heavy gusts.

You know that's a great buck anywhere Ken. Keep him hidden from the rifles until you get your chance. Good luck to all.
