Good evening scouting
 

Saw 11 bucks with 2 being pretty good ones. The biggest was just too far away to video with any detailbut we will be working on him tomorrow night in a different spot.

The 2nd buckis a great 3.5 year old buck for our area. Wefound his sheds last year and he grossed out at 122 at 2.5 years old. Wish we had many more bucks like him!!!

From what I can tell by seeing him up close,viewing the pictures and by comparing his last year sheds... he should gross 135 - 140 at 3.5 years old. He is a 5x6. Width is his only downfall and that isn't even too bad.He needs one more year but itwould be tough to pass on him. I asked Tylerif he would pass. He wouldn't say and would only smile.The look in his eyes says this buck could be in trouble this fall should he wander too close!! :D

Great looking bucks there! Wow.

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Nice looking bucks Tim! Good luck

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Good ones, good luck with them this fall.

Good looking bucks you got there Tim. That 5x5 is beautiful -looks like he's gonna have some blading at the tips for a little extra character.

I went out spotting on Friday night and saw an absolute hammer of a buck about 1 mile from one of the properties that I hunt. I'd sell a kidney for an opportunity to hunt that buck, but it's wallpapered. Other than that, it was a pretty quiet night - the fields are like a jungle, hardly anything is cut, and it was hotter than hades.

Thats a great 10 pt. I was in the same boat as you last year. I had about a 135 3.5yo ten running around that just had the potential to be a giant. We agreed that we would let him go during season.

I am yet to see him (or recognize him) this summer. I may have seen him when i was glassing some fields, but its just too hard to tell. I will definately be keeping an eye out for him though. He should be pushin the 150s i believe.

RE: Good evening scouting
 

He'd be a hard one to pass up. Good luck this fall.

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Nice, so is this the land you offered up to me?:D

RE: Good evening scouting
 

That's gotta get you fired up for the Fall...I think that nice 10 has your name on him. Good Luck!

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Those are very nice looking bucks....

RE: Good evening scouting

This is my honey hole. Last two years I've taken a 160 ( bow )and a broken tined 149 ( rifle )out of there. I wouldn't just take anyone into it!!!

You would make the list of people who I would though. :) Course I would have to blind fold you and spin you 20 timesbefore getting inthe truck to go there,make you listen to Disturb's version of LAND OF CONFUSION and PSHYCO ( cranked up of course ), spin ya another 20 times once we got to the walk inspotand do the same coming back.A guy can't be too safe when it comes to honey holes!! :D

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Ha! I can see this now. I bet you park your truck, cover it with brush and zig zag back and forth through the countryside to get there and throw the locals off your trail!

Nice looking bucks BTW!

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Also, TJF. Have been very impressed with the fact that you bowhunt from the ground using natural cover. Would be interested to learn sometime your tips and tricks for doing so as I have a lot of public ground to hunt that is mostly sloughs and grasslands without a lot of good trees.

RE: Good evening scouting
 

If you only knew half the stuff we pull to keep the locals guessing our where abouts or not drawing attention to where some of the big bucks call home. :D Sadly it isn't that we are worried they will get them but more so to keep them from blundering intoand wrecking an area.

I'll send you a pm to your2ndreply.

RE: Good evening scouting
 

get it.... nice bucks man.

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Those are some nice bucks...

RE: Good evening scouting
 

I fall down after a 12 pack, dude what are you trying to do to me?

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Looks like some good ones there ;)

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Good idea about a 12 pack the night before!! We better take the old ford if a hangover is also involved then. No puking in the main hunting rig. Radio is out of it though and I ain't a very good singer!! Course nice guy that I am, I would quit singing after your ears started bleeding!! Ya still game fora hunt...dude?? :D

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Ok OK Tim you can have your deer. But hey I was thinking about going for a bike ride this weekend. If I were to swing through would you be able to get away for a couple cold ones?

RE: Good evening scouting
 

Nice bucks. Good luck with them this fall.
