monster buck in my neighborhood
« on: November 18, 2009, 08:24:00 PM »
I just arrived home from work about an hour ago to find 22 deer and one boomer buck running the herd through my neighborhood. I could easily see his massive horns at 150 yards in the light of my pickup truck. his rack must have stood about 16-18" high and around 22" wide. Why dont i see this crap while im in my stand? I havent seen anything in the past three weeks and here he is waiting on my doorstep in a subdivision.They are all agaist me i tell ya its a revolution, a damn deer revolution!!

Probably wouldn't do to pin him to the front door, so try to restrain yourself and just enjoy the show.   :)

Tonight, I went for a midnight walk and saw a big buck chasing a doe through a park off of Main St. in this town of 25,000! They ran past me and I stopped. Suddenly, a huge racked buck came after them in pursuit, nose to the ground, and passed by at 10 yards! Where were they when I was out hunting?

I feel your pain.  We have a trail cam set up 15 yds from the front door.  I get picks of beautiful bucks every night.  So far we have pics of 12 different bucks and 18 does.

Here are a couple from the last two days:

 

 

Very seldom see on during daylight hours.

We have some huge blacktail bucks here in the suburbs. So you'll drive up in the mountains, hunt in the rain and snow, drive home and have to wait for a big old 4X4 with eyeguards to walk out of the road!  Just not right! haha

That's one way big whitetails get big.  I tell guys that hunting mature whitetail bucks in an area that gets heavy hunting pressure is as different from "deer hunting" as can be.  Treat mature bucks like a different species and forget most of what you know about deer and you are at a good starting point.  I also often tell guys that the thing that impresses me most about whitetails is that the world record buck could live under your back porch and you wouldn't know it.  Mostly I get blank stares.

My sister had 3 deer bedded down in her back yard. She let her dog out to do his business. They just laid there and watched him.

I want name names but a guy i know thats not much of a hunter shot a 150 class whitetail off his deck sunday afternoon in a neighborhood where the average house cost over 1 million dollars. Im not sure about the regulations where he lives but im pretty sure he shouldnt have done what he did. I guess the redneck in him showed up and to be honest i hope and pray one like that doesnt walk by my deck.  :biglaugh:

I did a little more investigating and found out that these deer and the big buck are bedding down 150yds from my front door every night in a gravel parking lot no less behind an abandoned nite club down the street. Why on earth a gravel lot? It cant even be comfortable to lay on not to mention i bet the rocks dont taste good. Go figure.

I hunt alot of subdivisions and have had some pretty good success. I have seen some of the biggest bucks doing some crazy things. Check your Game Laws and respect the homeowners and you may have some of the best deer hunting.Big Ed
