MT Hunters Grow UP!

50% of all muley bucks are fully nocturnal during the rut?

Boool shit.

This one might have been. No way in hell is he getting any tail with those antlers in the day light.

Seriously, Those antlers have stag written all over them in big neon letters. I bet his nuts were missing or very small.

He and his dad watched this buck when he was 8, it was 33" wide and a perfect 4. A RECORD breaker! Sadly he said they should have shot him then, as he went down hill and got sick.

33 inch four point at age 8, Call me a skeptic. That would be an antler growth patter unlike any I have seen.

I wonder were he comes up with the you get a tag every ten years. I don't think anyone suggesting limited entry is calling for state wide limited entry so restrictive that you can only pull a tag once every ten years.

This guy has it figured out as a "real hunter." Haha

This is the reaction I got from just about everyone when I first started suggesting we in Montana start to rethink the five week OTC rut hunt 25 years ago.

My favorite in VA is "old mountain buck" like 2.5 years old.

Here it is an old mature swamp buck. 2.5 years old 115 inches, and then they complain in the next post that Louisiana just doesn’t have what it takes to grow big bucks…

That buck would have make a bad-azz euro. Just sayin….

Looks like the real secret is......



Been doing it wrong for years.

Funny stuff. In my neighborhood, they look at every 2.5 year old deer that gets shot and say "well, looks like an old one, going down hill"..... Uhh, Yep.
