[Cody Gruchow]

this guy finally poked in around my camera. only picture of him that i have. seen him a few times. he is my #2 buck, curly is his name. great buck with lack of G1's but makes up for it with the rest of his rack, 4x3 what do ya think if he wonders by take him? hahaha

Oh yeah, I'd take him. 

[Cody Gruchow]

i think the shed i found this past winter is his left side, he has added alot of length

[MTCOMMER]

I would say he is a shooter, not alot of points, but definitely some size/length to the rack.
-- especially, if I remember right, you havent been seeing too many bucks, so he might be the macho man this year.

i have seen this guy a few times, but this is the first time on camera, seen smaller bucks that need a year or 2 to grow. just one other deer that has caught my attention that i really want and its a non-typical and his rack is one big mess, i like those weird racks. but i dont think i can let this guy walk if he comes by. my stand is in the background in the tress(the set of 3 directly behind him)

[MTCOMMER]

So are you thinking this guy is 3.5 years old?  Or did he just have a big rack when he was 1.5?

Never the less, he is a nice deer and seems like he will be around your stand.  I have never shot or even seen an atypical on our land, I guess there was a few bucks (probably 10-15 years ago) with drop tines and atpyical racks running around our property, but nothing since then. 
Some day I hope to get a nice atypical - maybe we have one around I havent seen!

Where abouts in 601 are you hunting Cody?  Northern I would guess?

[The General]

I'd stick him!

[FireRanger]

  DO IT!!!!

[Cody Gruchow]

west metro. around victoria. there are usually one or 2 non-typicals running around a year. recently alot of the deer dont have much for G1's or none at all. its weird

[deadeye]

Ya, go ahead and take him if you can.  Some times they just don't get a lot of points.

[huntingfreak_09]

idk if i would i live in mound and see alot of big deer and granted it is a nice buck but id maybe pass for a few weeks and see if the rut brings around one of those big boys and if i comes down to it late season if u see him id stick him for sure but if u got some big boys out let him go imo

[Go Big Red!]

Take him down Cody.  Good luck and be safe out there.

[Cody Gruchow]

any idea of score? i was thinking 120's

[HD]

I would say about 120 as well.........

[cannon man]

I say take him as well.  He is nice.

[FireRanger]

 :happy1:DO IT!!!

I aint going to say I would never kill a deer like that. But you got to remember you cant kill a big buck if you shoot the good bucks

[Cody Gruchow]

well to me he looks like a mature deer,whats everyone else think? he would be my biggest to date, and i hunt with the rule(my own rule) that i must shoot something bigger each year than the previous year and nothing less. there are exceptions to that like last year, the young buck had a tumor hanging from his eye so i culled him.

[kid #1]

Bone collector is right Cody.  If you want a really big deer you will have to let him go this year to be a great deer next year.  But ultimately the choice is only yours.  He is a really nice buck, you make the call.

We have a stud of a deer that me and my brothers are chasing right now.  I passed on him 3 years ago and have not had a crack at him during legel shooting light since.  Do I regret passing him as a good buck?  HELL NO.  It isn't the killing that trips my trigger. Its the chase!

Good luck and don't worry about what other would do as long as it makes you happy.

Sorry I didn't realize I was logged in under my daughters login.  Last post was by me.

[Cody Gruchow]
