Congrats on the bucks! I'd guess both around 160". You'll have to keep us posted if the DOW gives you any info. on the collared buck.
 
carter, the F&G took the collar when he was checked, but he did have some ear tags that I hope my uncle decides to leave in for the mount... However I doubt he will. 8(

F&G called him the same day and told him the buck was tagged in bliss in the winter of '09 and he had travelled in a triangle until the time of harvest (from what I understood from my uncle's description.) He went from bliss in the winter to pine/ featherville area in the spring/ early fall, THEN to area of harvest around mid-late fall, THEN down around mornon res around late fall/ early winter THEN back around bliss area to winter... And they believed he was around 5 1/2-6 years old.
 
tagsoup,
No sorry for the confusion, but he went from the area of harvest THEN down around moron res. in early winter/ late fall, THEN to the bliss area to winter... I think I made it sound like he was harvested by mormon res...
 
Does sound like a draw...but still very good deer; particularly so the bottom one!


Within the shadows, go quietly.
 
To clear up ALL confusion, these are both unit 48 bucks! Last time I checked that's still a open hunt. 8)
 
Congratulations and thanks for sharing the pictures and stories. Two guys don't tag bucks like that in OTC units by just being lucky. All of your hard work payed off this year.
I am out of practices at scoring pictures but I would guess both would score around the 160's as well.
 
Nice bucks!

The collared deer got me thinking. I was wondering What happens in the rut when his neck swells all up? Is there enough room on the collar fo expansion?
 
Both are great bucks. Congrats to you guys. Im going to guess 33-34 wide on the bottom buck. Bet he looked crazy big on the hoof.
