Yep, that's the one. Far as I know he has not been seen since he shed last year.Isn't that the king from wyoming? His pictures are all over Facebook by people claiming they took the picture. Comments are great. Some say high fence, others post other inaccurate statements
Or is this Leicas buck??He died shortly after he shed in 2023.
“Sheds”The person who picked up this buck’s sheds personally told me that he didn’t make it through the spring.
Of course he died…… manner of death though….His summer location was well known. He hasn't been back for 2 years, pretty safe to say he died that winter after the Utards hounded him for his horns non stop

Actually this buck is a good example of why shed seasons do not work. The person picked up the sheds on the opener of the season. The problem is shed hunters looking to gain an advantage, photographers looking for the a picture of a once in a lifetime buck and gawkers just hoping to see the mega buck were hounding him all winter long. The only thing that will work is area closures.His summer location was well known.

I completely disagree. Letting bureaucrats shut down public lands for their pet peeves is a bad idea.Actually this buck is a good example of why shed seasons do not work.

I agree, never said I agree with shutting down public land, just pointing out why shed season don't work that well and when people figure that out what the next step is. A step too far for me too on most public land. Enforce the laws on the books.I completely disagree. Letting bureaucrats shut down public lands for their pet peeves is a bad idea.
Use some of that auction money to enforce wildlife harassment laws.
No, the video I saw was new and there was no Popeye videos with the quality of this one. I think the last time Popeye was seen was 96 or 97.Could that be POPEYE from the Eastmans videos ?
No.Could that be POPEYE from the Eastmans videos ?
Doesnt Wyoming technically have area closures because all of the roads are supposed to be closed? The problem is its not well enforced from what I've seen and heard.Actually this buck is a good example of why shed seasons do not work. The person picked up the sheds on the opener of the season.

Come on Man!!!Could that be POPEYE from the Eastmans videos ?
Couldn't tell you on that, I live next to the opposite corner of the state.Doesnt Wyoming technically have area closures because all of the roads are supposed to be closed? The problem is its not well enforced from what I've seen and heard.
I just checked to make sure. You’re right. I wonder why?There's a reason ol Mossback kid deleted all his socials...
Some fairly large areas of BLM in western Wyo are subject to winter range motorized vehicle closures. Not 100% sure the exact winter location of this buck but I beleive he was either in one of them or darn close. The winter range closures still leave motorized travel on hwy's and county roads and also a person can walk around to their hearts content.Couldn't tell you on that, I live next to the opposite corner of the state.
No rules work well if there is lax enforcement.
IMO, lack of enforcement is not the problem. The closures do not apply to highways and county roads. Also a person can walk around as much as they want. And they do. Thats how these pictures come into existence.The problem is its not well enforced from what I've seen and heard.
Yes he was in a road closure area. Trouble is, the roads don't close until Jan 1, so everyone can drive on the two-tracks until then. I have to admit, I'm guilty of taking some great pics of him before Jan 1. I went a second time and couldn't believe the increase in paparazzi chasing him around. I had to leave. It was ridiculous.IMO, lack of enforcement is not the problem. The closures do not apply to highways and county roads. Also a person can walk around as much as they want. And they do.
