I'm pretty sure he did.Wow, what an amazing bull. Hopefully he passed on his genes many times.

Someone is BBQing.
Man you find some big bulls!
Mostly from the Bison Range in Montana, but I have a few from Northern California.Man you find some big bulls!
These in Yellowstone or Rocky Mountain or somewhere else?
Thats a bummer, but a cool picture.
I called several photographer friends that I knew were in the area and we surrounded her. Fully expecting to get the snot kicked out of us, when we approached she fell into a little ditch where the wires sticking out sideways were stuck into the ground. In her panic she managed to back out of the cage on her own. No harm, no foul, but I'm told it's fairly common for deer to get trapped in tomato cages.Thats a bummer, but a cool picture.
Fortunately the welds on those are pretty crappy so she was bound to tear it up eventually. I had a little buck around here a couple years ago that had a big wad of that nylon mesh from an erosion log stuck in his horns. Never could get a good picture of him.I called several photographer friends that I knew were in the area and we surrounded her.

The antlered ones are very adept at getting stuff wrapped in their headgear.Fortunately the welds on those are pretty crappy so she was bound to tear it up eventually.

Post the video pleaseNamed this buck "Killer". Killer is on his way back to his does after dispensing of another (bigger) buck. Notice his right G4. See the red? That's blood. He flipped his opponent onto his side using leverage. His uphill position gained him advantage over the bigger buck; who landed into a small depression with some mahogany on the backside; preventing escape. "Killer" immediately went for the stomach area and skewered the larger buck with his right side G3 and G4. He wouldn't let the other buck up and relentlessly kept pushing and lunging while his antlers were still inside the poor victim of his anger. We could hear the buck bawling as this was going on. Reliving this story right now kinda gives me chills. You want to help the losing buck, but there's really nothing a person can do. Of course, we both videoed the fight. Fights of this nature are rarely seen. I've been videoing and taking pictures for over 2 decades and have only seen maybe 6 or 7 true fights. Dominance is usually settled through posturing. Killer finally let the other buck up and he hauled ass...kinda. Looked like he had a broken rear leg, and blood all over his stomach area. He dies from those injuries.

I'm waaaayyy too techno-challenged to attempt that!Post the video please
What's the story on the fawn hanging with that buck? Interesting.
I think he was born somewhere here in the yard, as he and his mom hung around when he was little. That morning those 2 bucks cruised thru, and he was brave enough to walk right up and say howdy.What's the story on the fawn hanging with that buck? Interesting.
Not many like that to be found on public land hunts in Oregon anymore. Getting ready to dump my now 18 Oregon deer points in the next few years. Be very happy with one like that.Oregon buck.
