Nice buck (everyone post your LIVE buck pics here)

[Steve Foss]

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.

That IS a nice buck! Where was he hiding all season?

[Coach1310]

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]

Looks like he bumped his antlers on the bird feeder.

Good one for next season.

[Steve Foss]

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.

Pretty smart buck !

He eluded you all season

[eyeguy 54]

Nice!

Pretty smart buck! He eluded you all season

He didn't need to be smart to do that!

[Steve Foss]

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.

[eyeguy 54]

He'd look good on my wall with his relatives. :>)

Very nice deer I hope you find his sheds. It will not be long and they will be falling off.

[JayinMN]

That is a nice buck!

Muzzleloader season still on!

[Steve Foss]

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.

Nice bucks Steve, these were from thanksgiving weekend, not in city limits but on a Boys camp land that is posted.

[Steve Foss]

Todd, thanks for adding to the gallery. Looks like those guys will be dynamite in the coming years!

[Jameson]

Sorry no pic to share, but here is a 15 second video.

[Steve Foss]

Video works great too. Moving pics are still pics. Thanks for adding it to the gallery.

Gotta love it. Late May/early June?

[gonefishing70]

Here is a few of mine.

[Jameson]

Nice pics everyone. Mine was from June 13th.

[gatorslayer]

I had posted him on a different thread

[Steve Foss]

Thanks for sharing, guys!

Gatorslayer, that is one gigantic rut neck.

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.

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.

[Todd Caswell]

Forgot about these guys
