WOW, just where do they hide?
 
I have'nt got a picture of this guy in about a month, I thought that someone may have tagged him, but to my surprise I got this picture on the last day of our firearms season with about 30 minutes left in our season. Its beyond me where they hide, I have hunted this one all season and not as much as a glimpse. Our ML season opens Friday morning but I won't get to hunt much but on the weekends, but I'm really glad that he is still around, sure makes hunting alot more fun when you know you have one like him left around.

it is truely incredible how those bucks can hide like that, they know the woods like the back of their hoofs, they travel all over and its weird how you will see some really nice deer, catch some on camera, and then when the "bangs" start, they will curl up and hide. deer work in mysterious ways.

Strut,
I didn't relize that Black Powder season opens tomorrow, I assumed it was on Saturday, but your post caught my attention and after a quick check I see your right, If it wasn't for your post I would have missed a day, Thanks for the heads up.

Botlon, I live in Southern Mo. Between West Plains and Alton, in Oregon County.


Mo Hunter, I just learned in the middle of the week that it was opening on Friday instead of Saturday, I wish they would put about a week between seasons, like they used to, kind of let them settle back down a little, but I guess they are concerned about antler shedding, and some bucks getting killed as antlerless if they run it to late.

He has the other brow tine in the Trail Cam photo....Guess he got in a fight and lost it...???

I know exactly how u feel man...ive been hunting all yr after a monster buck wtih a very wide rack that i seen a week or two before bow season opened up here in Tennessee. i havent caught a glimpse of him neither has neone else has either because its a small little rural community and if a big deer is spotted then u hear about it. I have no idea where he's hiding...well i have an idea but i have hunted and nothing. its a wonder that with all the road hunting that goes on here im very surprised that he hasnt made a mistake in seach of a doe and let someone see him from the road but like i said if a big one was killed as well id hear bout it. good luck with ur deer man, and u can bet im still gonna be after mine til the last day and the last hour!

Yeah Bolton 22, 2 years ago I had several pictures of a 12 point, My son finally got him on the next to the last day, I had'nt had any pictures of him in about a month and thought he was gone, when we walked up to him I could'nt believe all the horn damge, he had 5 points broke off right down next to the main beam, He did have double brow tines on both sides and thats about the only way I could recognize him, the taxidermist re built the horns from looking at the pics I had and you would never notice it if you did'nt know that they where broke off before, I have some before and after pics of him somewhere, I will try to hunt them up and post them again.

Nice Buck!!

I like to look at areal photographs, sometimes you can see areas are larger or areas that you don't realize are even there. Check out www.terraserver.microsoft.com
