Steve Foss Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 This is what you get when you live up against the woods and feed birds. Go ahead, folks, and piggyback on this thread with some nice live buck pics. I bet we can get quite a gallery going before long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnbay Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 That IS a nice buck! Where was he hiding all season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1310 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 What a NEAT buck...... hopefully he survives the muzzleloaders and archers... would be neat to see if that one tine grows like that another year..... super neat deer and great pics too!!

harvey lee Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Looks like he bumped his antlers on the bird feeder.Good one for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foss Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yeah, I think he got a big bump on the antler while in velvet. Interesting how massive that one brow tine is, as well as its position relative to the main beam. Sure hope I can see him again next year to find out how it looks then. These deer aren't hunted. Their territory is within the city limits, where no bows or guns are allowed to be shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Foss Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Here's the guy whose shed antler I found last spring. He's put on quite a few inches. He came in about an hour ago. Can't wait to see him next year, but meanwhile I'll start looking for these sheds in another month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 He'd look good on my wall with his relatives. :>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonefishing70 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Very nice deer I hope you find his sheds. It will not be long and they will be falling off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Foss Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Methinks the cops would be knocking on my door a few minutes after I put a cap in Mr. Bucky here, me being inside the city limts. Although the guy who had the house before me said he and his son used to bowhunt right in the rear of the back yard (illegal to shoot a bow in Ely, too). It IS a bit tempting. BTW, at about the same time I was taking Bucky II's photos late this afternoon, my buddy saw a massive 12-pointer walking between the Pioneer Mine frame and Grand Ely Lodge. That's only a quarter mile from here, so maybe I'll have photos one of these days of Bucky III! Hey, everyone, go ahead and post your own live buck shots here. Go raid your own archives. Let's get a big ole gallery going to hunters and non hunters alike can look in and drool over gorgeous buck deer! And they don't have to be trophies, either. They're all darn cool regardless of antler size. Here's one of my faves from four years ago. Post rut 13-point buck with a cataract in his right eye. Definitely a seasoned warrior.

Todd Caswell Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Nice bucks Steve, these were from thanksgiving weekend, not in city limits but on a Boys camp land that is posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Foss Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks for sharing, guys! Gatorslayer, that is one gigantic rut neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Shutterbug Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I didn't even realize this was a buck until I got the pic transferred to my PC. This was taken June 2, so he has a long ways to go before he's worth drooling over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foss Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 This was taken June 2, so he has a long ways to go before he's worth drooling over. Really? I think a June velvet buck in a field of dame's rocket (or whatever that flower is) would get any nature photographer drooling. Wish we had those flowers up here in Ely. I'm jealous.
