Ever seen a ghost?
« on: November 09, 2011, 10:03:07 pm »
Well I just did.

A while ago I posted pics of the first buck I ever got with a bow:
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,28314.0.html

He was an unusual non-typical mulie, but big and strong, nonetheless.  Well today as I was heading into work I saw him walking bold as brass up the road by the house.  Right front fork is just a single tine, left rear fork is just a single tine.  3x3, taller than wide, stout bodied.

It's gotta be his son!  I'm really conflicted, I would love the chance to get another nice buck, but wouldn't it kinda look like a vendetta against his family?!?!  The more I think about it, the more I think I will pass him by.  I won't shoot him.  It just wouldn't be right.

Yes, I used the four letter "W" word.  My bad, I apologize.

Very distinctive rack. Good for you John.  8)  It would be interesting to see how the family tree branches out from here. Plus, a few extra points would definately be a better choice at this time.  ;)

Maybe he is a brother and the 5x5 is the Dad ! Ha ! !  They all eat good. I'd shoot him or any other. Look like some good knapping tools in that ones rack.  '  Frank

I know this deer, he was a small and odd fork horn last year.  He'll be a 3 1/2 yr old this year.  His rack does not have a lot of mass yet considering the size of the body, plus his face is very dark.  Haven't seen him since.  Maybe I need to be out in the back before dawn and just at evening.
