Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted March 8, 2013 Ever since getting pictures of this buck on trail cam, I have been obsessed with finding him when I had a gun or bow in my hand and a tag. [ Not being that great of a hunter he has played ghost. My buddy and his family went camping last summer did some hinking. Look what they found................I believe these would be from the spring of 2010 and 2011. Both found the same weekend about half a mile apart from each other. Now my obsession has just gotten worse. I have a trail cam picture and my buddy has two years worth of drops off this guy. Killing me..........I don't have a deer or an antler off this guy but it has been fun trying to catch up with either. Droptine Update A friend of a friend of a friend found this skull and recognized it from my avatar here on coueswhitetail. Needless to say there is a strange emotion involved with getting this skull. Very thankful for the gracious giver who got it to me, yet feel just a little cheated in not getting to see this buck in real life. So what now? Droptine is gone. I set up trail cams again, looking for the next obsession. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willyhunts2 Report post Posted March 9, 2013 That's awesome your buddy found those sheds. At least he did an not someone else so you can hold them and become even more obsessed with finding that deer. Good luck to you and hope to see some up close of your buck this fall!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated Congrats on the finds! Jeff There was about a half mile triangle as the crow flies, both anters being slightly higher in elevation than my trail cam. The green plot on the trail cam pictures is a small seep in an area that is normally very dry but that seep seems to be consistently there. It was funny the day my buddy walked through the door with those antlers. He knew we had that deer on trail cam and he was excited to show them to me, but I would never ask him to give them up. Antlers like those don't just grow on trees and are trophies in their own right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
