NM Lopers

crazyaboutcoues · Sep 29, 2004

Did a little scouting yesterday on a ranch I'll be guiding for lopers in NM this weekend. Managed to see 14 bucks, 8 were shooters and one was a beast. I managed to take a couple of pix of two very curious bucks. I walked up to about 150 yards of them when they finally saw me. I guess they didn't know what I was, so they decided to take a closer look.

What do you think they would score?

Those are babies. Let them grow. There will be bigger ones out there.

crazy,
What kind of camera are you shooting these pics with? Your photos are very clear. Keep them coming!

JFWRC - I know there babies, These two bucks were the smallest bucks I saw out of 14 bucks. Just wondering if my thoughts of what they scored were equal or at least close to what other hunters opinion.

My guess was low 70's

Az - I used a Olympus C-740.

Nice pics Tommy. I'd agree, low 70's.

My guess is, one is about 11-12 inches and the other a 13 incher. Let them grow. Nice pictures.

We had a pretty good hunt this last weekend. We went five for five on the first day. I'll post pix after I get my Home computer worked on. My first hunter took a small buck but he like the character of his horns and my second hunter took a very nice buck.
