3 Horned 10 pointer

Tue, 11/17/2009 - 06:28 — Oneafive
Hopefully the image for this non-typical buck will soon be posted. It is currently viewable on the D & R Sports bragging post if you want to see it there now www.dandrsports.com. This buck was taken around 2:30 P.M. on Nov. 15th. It appears to have two horns on the right side and one on the left. It scored 4 points on the left and 6 points on the right. The buck and a does movement sound was heard in heavy brush on and off for over thirty minutes before I was able to get any type of a shot. He actually left out the rear of the brush once during that time.

Buck Rutting Buck?

This past week my brother Jeff observed a spike buck mount a 5-point. (Three Times). The 5-Point is either an antlered doe or a gay buckaroo. What do you think? Anyone else seen this behavior? I once saw a picture of this in Deer and Deer Hunting yrs ago.

Freedom To Hunt

Thu, 11/05/2009 - 20:38 — jlambert

Once again autumn is here. As usual, the hunter is covered in camouflage and carrying a gun, along with a knife as sharp as his keen senses. True to form, he is fully engaged in the hunt spending a lot of time hiding in cover, cautiously scanning his surroundings for his elusive quarry.

Ask The Taxidermist - Understanding Antlers

Thu, 11/05/2009 - 00:47 — The Taxidermist

Antlers are a sex linked trait found in the deer family. Antlers originate from a germinal center in the frontal bones. They are soft and spongy while growing and have a soft velvety covering with a rich blood supply. When the annual growth is completed a band of connective tissue "tightens" around the base of the antler and the blood supply to the velvet is cut off. This causes the velvet to shed.  The connective tissue band continues to tighten around the antler and eventually cuts off the blood supply and the antler dies and is shed.

HAD THE CHANCE

ITS OCTOBER 29TH. HAD AN ALMOST EXCELLENT NIGHT IN THE WOODS. I HAD GRUNTED A MASSIVE 9 POINT INTO 20 YARDS. I COULDN'T GET THE RIGHT SHOT OFF, BECAUSE HE WAS FACING ME STRAIGHT ON. FINALLY HE HAD TURNED BROADSIDE. SO I DREW MY BOW PUT THE PIN BEHIND THE SHOULDER AND LET THE ARROW FLY. THEN THE WORST HAPPENED, THE BUCK HAD DUCKED THE ARROW. IT AMAZED ME AT HIS SPLIT SECOND REACTION. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO ME NOR DID I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN. WHAT A NIGHT OF FRUSTRATION??
