sandia bucks?

Don't know what that is. So probably not.

Tall Boy came back the following year and looks like he put on a ton of bone. 190? Unfortunately, he had a pretty severe limp. He was very popular with the ladies, as he had an entourage of them hanging around. Never saw him again.

What’s going on Bluehair? We haven’t had any recent exposures. Give it up man!! nontypical can’t carry the whole load. ?

I just saw this…..sorry I’ve been mia. Had a wierd summer; didn’t have many critters and didn’t seem to have much time.

I also look forward to @nontypical pics. They are all outstanding I tape them to my windows looking out so these deer have something to aspire to.

Anyway, I should have enough pics of dink yardbucks and birds to get us thru winter. Should be back in the saddle in a week or so.

Here’s a sunrise and a few deer from the other morning just so you know I haven’t been totally goofing off. And a bonus pic of 5 minutes later. They don’t stay red very long.

I do love those red, gold and black silhouettes. Especially with critters on the skyline.

Some goofing around pics for Lumpy.

Monticello Utah and one of my favorite golf courses.

I circled the horses head. Don’t laugh, its a big deal in Monticello. Someone needs to get up there with a chainsaw and trim around the ears. (Picture a painting of a horse head looking at you)

Ok, a yardbuck pic before I wander off for a few days. He’s no WY dino deer, but he’s fun to watch. More pics of him to come because he was one of the few survivors.

 

[Bluehair]

Another who survived, but he has a serious limp. This from earlier in the summer.

Is this up the road toward Animas Forks? Or the other way into Ophir/T-ride? The clouds have me twisted.

Headed from Silverton towards Ouray.

Coming back from a Texas pig hunt in May and a late unexpected snow storm hit when we was leaving Silverton.

This photo is the storm starting as we were just leaving Silverton and another photo as we were coming through Ouray.

Wide load. Haven't been here for a while. Too dang busy! I first saw this buck during the winter of '14-'15. He's kinda weird, but he's wide. Hence the name.

Northern Lights SW MT 12-17-23 11:59pm Daughter took on the way to work...

This one is from 9-18-23 9:12pm camping SW Montana

 

[nontypical]

Wide load came back the following year. Looks like he's overall a bit smaller, but gained some trash. Went to basically a 3x3. Not a big score buck, but a very cool buck, IMO. Looks like the website has fallen back to what it was doing a few weeks ago-not allowing large files. So...only one pic today. I'll message Brian about it

I'm not smart enough to do that. I'll try again. I notified Brian. I haven't been on here today until now. Ordinarily, attaching the pics is no problem.

I’m having the same issue. I really like that this site resizes them automatically for you. Makes it easy for lazy guys like me to share.

On edit: sent you a pm. It is an easy fix.

A few blurry coues pics from yesterday.

I’m no judge of coues deer but I’d say that one looks pretty dang good.

More Wide Load. He's not as big as the year before. Haven't been on the photography forum for a bit..

 

[nontypical]

Next year he came back, but I only saw him this one time. 2-3 other mature bucks joined him in his canyon this winter. Alas, all perished that winter (at least I never saw them again). Wide Load never was that photogenic. Most times I encountered him, he was already moving away or getting ready to. Sorry for the crappy pics, but he was very hard to get good pics of. Most pics I got of Wide Load were a$$ pics! He was wider and heavier this year! Bonus post today for me being a slacker.

 

[Bluehair]

Since it’s snowing today. Forkies chasing does.

Most of the time the deer and turkeys get along pretty good, but every once in a while something goofy happens. I’ve seen a young buck chase them all over for 15 minutes (no pics), and I caught this little guy feeling frisky . Good way to lose an eye

 

[Bluehair]

I recently drove thru Mt Rushmore, and the twisty little road called Iron Mtn Road. It was a blustery winter day, and I had the place to myself.

I noticed this view thru the CC Gideon Tunnel. You can see the sculptures like you are looking down a gunbarrel. I googled it on wiki when I got home, and it turns out all 3 tunnels are designed with a view of the sculptures when looking thru them.

I didn’t know that and missed the view on the other two. Now I have to go back.

As for the road, no manly sized trailer is going thru the tunnels. And the small pecker gang may no be able to get their lifted truck thru them either.

 

[Bluehair]

Did I mention I had the place to myself. It was a great day for a fun drive with the window down

A pretty decent coues buck and his doe. Damn things are hard to see and even harder to take a pic of. He’s bedded to the left of the doe. @Tikka

Doesn't look like there will be any pics this winter. The winter ranges I frequent are deer scarce. No big bucks, no yearlings. There are a few fawns scattered here and there that have some damn tough mommas-even a few sets of twins. The range looks fantastic...well, till this last storm...

Whoever said 75-80% winter mortality was not wrong, from what I'm seeing. Maybe a little less than that, but without a doubt the worst I can remember.

 

[nontypical]

The year after I saw that last buck, I was driving down the same road and came alongside a tall (10-12') patch of sage. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a deer. It was the same buck from last year. He had put on some more trash and mass. I recognized his curled-up beam. I encountered him a few more times that winter. Since he was in the heavy brush, I dubbed him "Brush Buck".

The consensus around here seems to be about half the deer as usual. The elk and turkeys did fine. This year is being kind to them. They’re still playing like its fall.

 

[BridgerMT]

I have finally thawed out since Saturday morning so I could post this picture

 

[nontypical]

Brush Buck came back the next year, but his rack had gotten smaller. He lost trash and overall size. This was the last year I saw him. Sorry about the poor images; he was quite a distance away.

 

[Bluehair]

 

[nontypical]

Some years ago, this big typical showed up on the winter range. I called him Big Typi just for easy reference. I only name them for reference purposes. I have sooo many pics, that's the only way I can remember individual bucks. I think this buck would surpass the minimum score for B&C!

 

[Bluehair]

A very grainy low light pic and a less bad one of the same gang a few months later to make up for it.

Blue..I want to come live with you..............I miss the Western Slope!

Yup, there really are two distinct parts to Colorado.

I’ve been trying to catch the elk in front of the cone, but they’re not cooperating so far. Have to settle for a couple of yardbirds for now.

 

[nontypical]

Big Typi came back the following winter and looks about the same. Still a great B&C quality typical buck!!

Elk

I thought it looked like that but I would be very surprised if there were elk in the area that I took that picture. This was in a desert part of the bootheel region of NM, probably 15 or so miles from the AZ border. That would be fascinating if an elk wandered through there somehow though.
