D14 bucks

[HuntWYODon]

Hey bigshot. Sorry to reply so late. Haven't been on forum for awhile. Had to go back to page 2 to look !
That one was 22 in.. The one on right I don't remember but it had 5 in. eyegaurds ! The one on left a taxidermist friend I was hunting with aged him at 7 1/2 yrs.. He regressed to having crab forks but still had good mass and eyegaurds. He said a couple yrs. earlier he would of been better ???
PM me your email address again please.

Dam bigshot ! You are the D14 King ! What a pig for D14 ! Awesome !
Congrats to both of you !

[HuntWYODon]

Congrats bigshot ! That's a D14 trophy no matter how you look at !
I have several from D14 that look just like it and smaller ! LOL !

The first one is wide but forks are not very deep. Thats to bad about not drawing the Paunsagaunt. My dream is to hunt the henerys.

Oh, I guess you wouldn't shoot it then huh ? LOL !

Here is a pic of the ghost I spotted two days before opening day. Since then, I've been 5 times and got nothing...This is my first year in D-14. So far, it lives up to its reputation.Attachment 4394

Great to see you on here again Don, wondered what happened to you. Thought maybe you got a new girlfriend or something and you was busy! by the way the rut is on in san berdoo county.

I ended up tagging this buck today. He was with two other forkies and two Doe's. I was running out of time and still have a few more tags to fill before my trip to Colorado next week. So, I thought I better start shooting to fill the freezer. I know its not a "Monster," but any buck in Zone D14 is a considered a "trophy," in my book. This unit only had a 3 percent success rate last year. While hunting, I spoke with guys that have been hunting this unit for seven years now and have yet to see a legal buck!!

Well, I took my brother out today and he got lucky Damit!!....Check out his D14 4x4 with eye guards. My brother has a bad back and did not want to hike far, so I agreed to try some of my easy spots that I have not hunted in a few years. The first areas we checked we only saw 4 Does and a Spike. The weather was very cool (31 degrees) so we continued to hunt the area. Right around noon we located this beuty chasing after a Doe in an open meadow. My brother made a awesome shot with his Rem 700 7MM RM, and the buck dropped in his tracks.

Girlfriend ? Nahh ! Have a hard enough time keeping the old one away. Two trips to X12 and other biz. Didn't have much time.
Rutting already ? Wow ! I've never seen them rut before 1st or 2nd week of Nov.. I guess they don't know what date it is ! I think you said the 4x4 was following a doe around. That's a good sign. Waiting for her to come into estrus probably.
I've always notice the bucks around Cody, Wy. start about Nov. 6th or 7th if I had to pin it down. My area 125 tag this yr. goes to the 15th Before that I always got a Reg. F tag since 1998 and can hunt to Nov. 10th. My son and a friend got leftover Reg. F tags and we all got doe antelope and doe deer tags. I hope we don't fill them all... Back in 1992 a friend and I had each a buck antelope tag and 5 does tags each...Way too much work with 10 animals ! We each had to buy another big cooler and a couple cheap styrofoam coolers with what we already brought.
