Big ol' fork

[Brittany Chukarman]

Just a 2 point but I like the looks of this buck. Big bodied, I spotted him from the kitchen window skylined on the ridge. With bino's I could see he was a buck but looked kind of like a small spike elk. Put the spotting scope on him and just a big fork trailing a doe that's just below him. Wish we could have got a head on view. His main beam curled in as well as his top points. My wife took the picture with her 35mm with zoom lens. Probably 1200+ yards away.

Really choice view

It is my dream to shoot a giant 2 point.

Not a HUGE set of horns but a HUGE deer.

I'm 5'8"

He came closer to the house. Might get some good pics tonight under the apple tree on the trail cam.

Dang he looks like he retained some of those anchient snake river genes. They use to grow them real tall in the old days.

Check out the sag on the gut. That sure ain’t a little deer.

Decent sized, but no sag in the gut or old man face. That’s a young deer.

Too bad the same can’t be said for the guy taking the pictures!

I could say the same about myself.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Caught this guy at the end of the driveway a couple of days ago. I’ll shoot him next year if given the chance but I sure like the genes he is passing around this year.

I guess you could say I'm a bit of a forkie connoisseur myself!
The year I got this was a good wet year, lots of berries and forage. He was so fat I could barely move him.
