Favorite Pics from year's gone by

The big 7 I never seen again after this pic.

Long shot to ever catch a picture like this one again.

PICT0230 8-29-11 coyote howl.jpg

Still one of my favorite series of pictures ever! The leaves and pictures and blood and adrenaline of the moment are a beautiful thing. This was probably the most surreal moment I ever had in the woods. I sat there, thanked the Lord and took it in for a long time.

I couldn't hunt opening morning this day. Guess who was taking his time getting back to the bedding area on opening day that year? Yep. At the time he was my target buck. Ugh.

Here are a few more to keep your attention. I just think these are some pretty pictures.

This is one I am still a little sour over. Last season he took a crossbow bolt to the neck. He was later taken by a hunter on another property (supposedly). Quite possibly the biggest 8pt I will ever hunt. Never heard the official score but the taxidermist of the hunter that killed him said mid 150's. I don't know. He was a smart buck though and I only had him on camera in the daylight a few times. Two years in a row during the rut and in the late season in early 2011 when we had thrown some corn out. We had seen sustained snow on the ground and cold temps. He came in a couple times for the corn. He was mainly nocturnal. I saw him on the hoof one time while hunting. He came within approximately 75 yards twice in the same day but never close enough for me to take a shot with my bow. I can only hope he spread his genes thoroughly!

This is a great thread guys....awesome. I have a few bucks to add.

This buck had me super excited in 2009, but I never saw him on the hoof. I managed to find both of his sheds in early February though, which made me think something was wrong with him, he vanished the next year and hasn't been located since..

This double beam buck showed up on my cam while I was in the treestand about 30 yards to the right of him. He ended up in bow range, but it was a little too dark to shoot. Never saw him again that year, but got both of his sheds 2 miles away later on !

I killed this buck on October 25th, 2010, but didn't know he even existed, was lucky enough to get a picture of him a few days before.

Great pics Guys!

Hicks those turkey pics are beautiful

Buckstar that pic of the buck, on the day your buddy was supposed to be in the woods, is great. I bet your buddy hates it though.

Gern those are all great bucks. I love that double beam buckand of course Ole Johnny Longbrows!
 
This buck was photographed in late winter of 2008 in my back yard...notice the arrow shaft sticking out of his shoulder....would he live through the winter?


MDGC0499-1.jpg


Yes he made it through the winter, here he is in June of 2009

MDGC0627.jpg


MDGC1189.jpg


And again in 2010 as a 3-1/2 year old!! He hasn't been around since.

Probably my all time favorite buck....an absolute brute of a deer.


MDGC0931.jpg


MDGC0804.jpg


MDGC0004.jpg



I searched high and low that year and found his sheds exactly 1 mile apart!!

His matched set are the ones at the very top.....
102_1573.jpg


I got this picture of him 2 miles away from his home range the following November on a midnight run......that was the last time I have any account of this buck!

I still tell myself he is alive though, because I never heard of anybody killing him, and word would have spread on this one.

Great stuff fellas! I could look at pics like these all day!!!

I've been very fortunate to capture some awesome pictures over the years, I just wish I had the final chapter to a lot of the stories that go with these deer. Despite my lack of success in the woods with a weapon, my cameras still pull their weight on an annual basis. Well, except for this summer! Here is my Top 10 in no particular order...

This is the very first trail cam picture I ever captured and he became the first good buck to adorn my wall..

This picture started the obsession with velvet racked giants, not to mention it kicked off the saga of a deer named Deuce...

Deuce6-22-07.jpg


To this day, this may be my single favorite pic of all time...

CDY_001401crop.jpg


What can I say, that deer was a sticking camera hog!!!

p_00100123.jpg


Another all time favorite from a deer called Captain Hook...

P_002943.jpg


One of my favorite daytime pics of a buck...

P_005626.jpg


Crazy Rack a few weeks before I make the biggest mistake of my bowhunting career...

P_000540.jpg


Hook Jr. was a super star this summer and provided a ton of great pics...

P_001450.jpg


Captain Jack...

P_015248.jpg


Last but not least, perhaps the best picture of Moe from last summer\. Or not now that I think of it. Hell, I could do a highlight reel of just this deer...

P_000446.jpg


I'll be back with more...
 
Here are a couple of my favorite non-buck pics from over the year. If there can be a “favorite yote” picture, this is it out of my collection…

P_011176.jpg


I wish this pic had been centered better...

CDY_000454512.jpg


Always loved this doe in action pic…

P_001747.jpg


Same for the hawk…

P_001299.jpg


Never did see this doe and I have no idea what caused the giant hole in her nose or the bobbed tail…

p_000491-1.jpg


Here are a few old school pics from the first year we bought our farm. Talk about being in “hawg” Heaven!!!
