I have 2 stories, The first is abouta buck that haunted my dad and his buddies in the 80's. My dad lived and still lives in the small town of Chatham, and for most of the early 80's a big buck named Bullwinkle haunted the woods. He had a peice of his front right hoof missing and his rack was large and completely typicle. Nobody ever got an extemely close look at him (before trail cams!) but many people shot at him. My dad shot at him and missed on the very first time he ever went deer hunting, and he only saw him once after that.Bullwinkles biggest legend was whena group of huntersdid a push and he bedded down in a small 1 acre thicket in the middle of a big feild. 10 different hunters went into the brush from all sides and he still managed to escape unharmed. Another legend of bullwinkle was when my dad was driving down the road one night and stopped to help a car that was stopped on the side of the road. The driver told my dad that a massive buck had jumped over the hood of his car. My dad still doesnt beleive the story but i guess that it is possible. Nobody ever shot bullwinkle and no body back then looked for sheds or anything like that. His body was also never found.

My second story is about the current monster buck that haunts Chatham (Bullwinkle II). I firstlearned of his excistance in 2003 when he was only a 9 point. The following year his rack jumped up to an 11 point (deer cam picture both times). In 2005 a local bowhunter shot and wounded him, but the body was never found. Last year,I got 1 picture of him, and he wasa 13 point. The pictures are posted onthis website somewhere. Anyways during deer season my buddies dad saw him twice ata far distance.The only way we can tell its him is becouse his right brow tine forks. This springIgot some pictures of a nice buck that is already at his ears thatI think might be Bullwinkle II, but i have to waitand see if his rack forks out later in thesummer.
