Quest for a Sask whitetail daily updates

[Sask hunter]

This morning watching the “funnel” was slow 2 bucks till I called it at 11:30. Went checked a few coyote snares and grabbed some subway for lunch and checked a couple camera cards. Some new bucks cruising through but just little guys. Around 2:00 I headed into the bait I sat yesterday since my evening plans got messed up by the farmer hauling bales.

What an exciting four hours I had. Saw 8 or 10 different bucks and one that just about got shot. If he wouldn’t have broke his drop tine off at around the 2” mark he would be dead right now. I swear his body was twice the size of the doe that was on the bait at the time. Also saw a crazy 4x4 that had one normal horn and the other was along side his head. Don’t know if he grew it like that or it got broke and is just hanging on. Not much chasing or cruising going on and have noticed fawns off by themselves. Seem to be in the lock down of the rut I guess. Hopefully it ends soon and some more mature bucks start cruising. I’ll put pictures of crazy horn on here tomorrow after I pull the camera card. This was the one I almost shot today

One day I need to go on a whitetail hunt like this. I'm still lucky to see a spiker on day 8 of the season where I hunt. Good luck on a monster.

Crazy horn buck I saw yesterday

That had to hurt. I shot one years ago similar to that. I'll post a pick of it later tonight.

Looks like he broke his skull to me. Ouch!

 

[cahunter805]

I agree. Looks like he broke his skull or pedicle after growing his antler. Usually if they are damaged/deformed they don’t grow a perfect antler.

Ok opinion time same deer as last year?? Only a mile away

 

[Sask hunter]

Another opinion time this is the deer I passed yesterday was scrolling through pictures today and found this set of shed from last winter half mile away. I really think these sheds belong to that buck. What’s everyone think?

 

[Nick87]

Yes and yes imo

 

[Dave N]

Here it is.

 

[NEWHunter]

Yes on both accounts.

Looks like a good possibility

 

[PsRpOiGrRiAtM]

Sure look like the same. The good thing there is that now you can shoot him, and have a good model for the taxidermist to look at and repair the broken drop-tine.

Good luck!

[Nick87]

That's long enough spill it!

Lol. Slow day deer hunting but had some fun anyways. Now have no excuse if I miss a deer

Canada's got some big bucks!!

 

[Nick87]

Nothing wrong with that. I wish our coyotes had fur like they do up there.
