Last week's pics

Wes · Nov 16, 2004

Here's a few pictures from the last week of our season in Nevada.
This buck was in one heck of a fight before we killed him. You can see two gore holes in his side that punctured the chest cavity. He also had one in his neck that was four inches deep and punctured his wind pipe.

My hunter got a shot at this buck the night before and missed. We went after him the next day and bumped him around the hill were this guy killed him. He measured 30 1/2"s

I caught this badger crossin the flats and played cuttin horse with him for a few minutes. I don't think he had as much fun as I was havin

I returned to the horses one afternoon and heard this little guy buzzin. When I looked down he was only 12"s from my foot. It was pretty cold so I don't know if he was rattlin or if it was his teeth chatterin. I picked him up and sent him down a hole in the rocks

It's only been a week since the season closed and I'm goin thru some terrible withdrawls. 356 days to go and counting!

WOW! That buck got a whoopin big time! That was sure nice of you to pick up the ratler and put him someplace warm. Don't want him to chip a tooth!

LMAO! I bet my brother in law will jump back from his monitor 5 feet if he ends up seeing these pics. He loves snakes!

Awesome pictures, thanks!

Nice bucks by the way.

Are freakin' crazy!!!!??? I hatuedb tooo say yyy ititt buttss.... (Sorry guys, I just got the chicken skins thinking about someone actually touching one of those things)

As I was saying, I hate to say it but you deprived that snake of his destiny. To become a good snake! Maybe I can help him out next time I'm NV.

'It's all about the gut pile' oh yeah, and snake skins.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-04 AT 05:37PM (MST)[p]Great pics. Looks like that first buck got in a major fight. Didnt seem to win the last one as the hole mark on his side looks pretty deep.

NvrEnuf · Nov 18, 2004

LMAO SneakAttack! I told you guys he loved snakes!

Awesome buck, I would like to see the buck that showed him who was king ding-a-ling. And I to would have sent that snake back to hell were he belongs, the only thing I would have touched him with was the slug from my 45 well maybe my 300 winny just to make sure the job got done.
