Scout Trip #3

Recommended Posts

Well Sun Devil and I are back from our third scouting trip of '07 and it was a good one. It started with us seeing a turkey running across the road in an area that we've never seen them before. Turned out to be two of them. We saw an increadible number of does but were getting fairly discouraged until we found this buck with some major mass. The picture isn't the best as we were very far way looking into the sun with the buck in the shade. We had a really hard time field judging him as his antlers are unique. His mass was amazing. He has one G3 that goes out farther than his main beam on one side and almost no G3 on the other. Unfortunately, you can't make out these details out in the pictures. Hope you enjoy.

christian - we first have to get drawn. then we all know finding big bucks on a scouting trip is a whole lot easier than finding them during the season. we are trying to concentrate on areas that may get less pressure and then go in there and see what kind of deer the area holds.

 

sure wish we had got a better pic of that buck. his mass was incredible. so were his G2s. he looked kind of weird broadside because his mainbeam curved in real hard while his G3 went forward and from the side looked to be longer than the main beam.

 

still can not get over the fact we saw 2 turkeys in this area. we were a long way from pine trees. later.

Yeah I know what you mean about finding big bucks scouting and not finding them on the hunt. It is a really good idea to scout the less pressured areas now because more bucks may move into there during the season.
