These deer are driving me crazy!

These deer are driving me crazy!

The following pictures are driving me out of my hunting mind!  We are getting these great pictures on a weekly basis but for the life of me (and Dad and a couple other hunters who I have asked) I can not figure out if this is one deer or two!

I was sure after this last set of pictures that I had two big deer around.  I still think I might based solely on their G3 tine but when I sent these pictures to two hunters, they both wrote back saying that they could not tell for sure, if it was one or two deer.

I was watching hunting shows over the weekend and on two different shows they had deer that looked like the deer in this last picture and when that deer turned, it looked exactly like the first picture (above).  Or visa versa.  Even the pros can not help me determine what sort of deer I am dealing with.  I am losing my mind trying to figure out what type of bucks and how many I am dealing with.

One thing is for sure, there is a lot of antler out there for me to get!  The best way to find out if there is more than one deer – shoot one!  I call dibs on this guy and I know that he is the same deer as last year.

  1. Erin, that is a very nice buck. Good luck!

    • Thanks Rick! I really hope that I get him. It would be even better if there were two big bucks, but I will take this one either way. Hope you're well!

  2. Soon the hormones will have them out and about! :))

Fish On!

I am afraid that I could really get addicted to fishing.  The only thing that is really stopping me are those images of fishing hooks embedded in fingers, thumbs, hands etc. and realizing that that could be me.  I shutter! But when Al took me out fishing on...
