[dana]

Was down in Jelvis' area and saw this buck today. Is he going to be a Shooter by the time he's done growing?

oh man that,s going to be a monster, he,s wide. he will be a shooter. thank,s for the pic,s.

[budismyhorse]

anything outside the ears and high is a shooter in my book. he'll be 170+

no?

I am not much of a muley expert

[Allen50]

nice buck, good pic dana,, also need a bit of meat on his bones, his ribs are showing,, he'll fatten up by rut time,, good stuff thanks,, i marked a X on my screen so i could find him again,, lol lol lol

[Kechika]

Another month and a half of growing left...undecided.They all look big walking away.I think he will be mid 170's

[Fisher-Dude]

Dump the little 2 point and enjoy steaks that pull apart with your fork. :wink:

[3kills]

ya for sure i would dump any one of then bucks....

[The Hermit]

Yes... I'd shoot him, arrow him, leap down outta my tree stand on his back and take him with a pocket knife! Nice pictures!

[Bow Walker]

Mature buck for sure - freezer fare in my book. Nice pics Dana.

[horshur]

was a very nice 3 point in that spot pretty regular for 10 years..

[tomahawk]

Steaks, roasts and burger!

I guess we know why Jellyroll is always trying to get hunter's to hunt in Clearwater and away from his little hidey hole now don't we? You don't have to go far from the Loops to find monster bucks.

[Laurence_Erickson]

awesome pics dana

[.308win]

I'd take him, his a heck of a lot bigger than anything i've taken so far!!!:biggrin:

yep...biggest deer by far I have ever seen crossed the highway behind me just south of heffley mill. You saw it too couple days later.
fed in them fields late june early july north of the old prison.

[newhunterette]

ummmmm Lloyd, if you recall last season you had tag soup so in ur case you better shoot one of them at least hehehehehehe I saw your trophy room lol


Dana, nice pictures as always - thanks so much for the great camera work

That buck still haunts my dreams. I can still see it when I close my eyes. Biggest typical I've ever seen in my life. Made the two 190 inch bucks that were with him look like Dinks. Heck, he even made Widebugger look like a rat. Without a doubt that buck would have been the new #1 provincial record.

[BCrams]

He's a definate last day buck just before I head home!

[Brambles]

Looks promising but that crab claw G2-G3 got me bugged, nice brows and width. Have to wait and see how much he improves by hunting season, I agree with Rams, Last day he'd be riding home with me.

[guest]

Oh yeah, I'd take him.
Great Pic's Dana, wish I lived in such proximity to be able to go out and get pic's and shed's anytime. Keep it up.

[MattB]

Definetely a cool looking buck, gotta like his brows! It'll be interesting to see how much tine length he puts on over the next 2 months!

[The Dawg]

Cant tell without seeing him in person.....I will need GPS co-ordinates to do so 8-)

[Elkhound]

ummmmm Lloyd, you better shoot one of them at least hehehehehehe I saw your trophy room lol



ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG


Ouch:eek::lol:

[Fisher-Dude]

Usually by then you've done something silly like driven your truck over your gun. You better take him right off the get-go. :grin:

[dana]

I'll try to keep an eye on this buck this summer. Judging from what I've seen in growth in past summers, I'd say he's still got a lot of growing yet to be done. He's still really bally at the ends which means he's got a lot of tine length still comin'. Looks like he's got 2 or 3 extras that should easily be scorable points once he's done. I'd bet that he'll probably gross over that 180 mark once he's done.

[yama49]

nice pics dana. keep the pics coming

[Mik]

BANG!...... Nice pics, thanks.

[Sooke Hunter]

Opening day.....bang!!!!

[blackford]

baaaddaaa boooomm.. thats what i say...

[muleyman]

Anyone who says they would not take that deer is well... you know,probably high 170's low 180's nice pics Steve.

[FlyingHigh]

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!! hell yeah. i'd drop either of those buck's in a heartbeat.

love your pics dana. keep 'em up. :D

[Viking]

Great pitures. Looking at the last two pictures, it looks to me that he may be a nice 5x5 once it's time to shed the velvet.

[ElkMasterC]

Hmm......not surrrreeee....
The big one's gonna be 5 X 5, it seems......hard to tell from here.

WAIT! I've got it! Take me to where you spotted them, and I'll have a closer look thru my scope! Yeahhh...that's the ticket!

[NEEHAMA]

take the little spike fork in the fore ground !

[Jelvis]

Radda-tat-tat-tat-> take all three! --> Four Hunters <----->-- stepped out and took um all <--+--><-- Jel --> freezer full <--hat rack-->< 2go >++++< win-win >slim<jim>Vinsula-Batchelors<-not-4-long-lol->60days<

[Mr. Dean]

I once read a study that claimed these animals are in peril. PASS!
After all, its ethicly just. :mrgreen: :wink:

[Shed Hunter]

Rounded on top sill. Like to see him when he has finished growing. Nice buck

[Ltbullken]

He will be. Any time the antler spread is outside the ears on a muley, that's good! Hard to tell about mass though - antlers might bulk out yet?

[hunter1947]

That one big buck will score up in the hi 190s ,he will defintly be a shooter ,he still has one month of growing left on his antlers.

Hope he is in an area where you can take him Dana http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif.

[Jelvis]

Can't eat the antlers! jel-bone

[brotherjack]

True, Jel, but the ones with the biggest antlers tend to have the biggest backstraps. :)

[Dale]

ka--boom!!

[bc-shedder]

[horshur]

still there this afternoon.

[Jelvis]

Vinny the buck. The Vinsula Vinny. Some one is going to get Vinny he is provoking people showing off his rack in public. People will remember. I know a way in behind that high ridge and on top. Only one way to get in there and I was taken to it by local yokel. dah. I got the skinny on Vinny No. 5. Jel-who-is-in-shape?

[Chameleon]

Great pics, I'd shoot him :)

[dana]

Jelly,
Vinsula Vinny. I like the name. Suits him.

[Jelvis]

I love Vinsula, everytime we drove by in the saxties and saventies, I fell in love with Vinsula, the old log buildings and habitat on each side of de highway I said , " Now here's a place I would live." I see so many deer off the highway from Heffley, the biggist mule bucks, then Vinsula and on up the highway, Orchard Lake another, and what can a mule deer hunter do? Some hunters in Kammy don't go to Barriere anymore, they like Heffley and Orchard, closer and they get bucks easier they tell me.

[kennyj]

Great photos Dana.He is shaping up nicely.

[Jelvis]

Hot in Kamloops today wednesday 9th, anyone seen Vinny?

[jackpine]

hey jel,i spent 4 days on may long weekend camped at tum tum lake.i got bored and went for a drive up the oliver creek main line.i couldn't have been more than a mile up the road when 4 big bucks crossed in front of me.2 of the bucks were bigger than" vinny "is now.just imagine how big they will be!!!

[Jelvis]

Must be something in the water up there jackpine. tum tum good. oliver creek good. Those bucks sound bigger than Vinny wow. Only a mile up the road too, tanks jack.

[jimk shockey]

toss up. if he grows a 5th point forsure

[Jelvis]

Anyone seen Vinny the Vinsula wanna be. 159, if vinny's lucky. Once that velvet falls the true story will be seen shiny bone. Jello-vin-159.9999999----> max. Typi cal

[dana]

Jelly,
What, are you workin out too much at the gym these days to go have a look at Vinny yourself?

[Jelvis]

I live in North Kammy you live close to Clearwater and you probably go to Kamloops more than I do. lol.
Vinny won't last long showing off his hat-rack like that. Some hunter is going to be pre-scouting his every move. Jelly-do-little

[dana]

Jelly,
I bet Vinny will show up next year only bigger and better.

[huntwriter]

You don't have to go far from the Loops to find monster bucks.
Isn’t that the truth.:wink: Nice pictures by the way.

[Jelvis]

Vinny and his young buck friends will be splitting up soon it's getting into pre pre-rut now! Comprehenday? Amigos.
Antlers in the middle of August full growth, with velvet it's July 19th now, do thy homey work. july 19th + one month august 19th. Start scraping around Aug 23rd full moon on the aug 16th, add a week = Aug. 23rd begins. Jelly-antler bone--rubbing bushes = August 23rd--->

nooo..still there with his buds. Hay on the ground next cut be lookin good for labour day.

[Jelvis]

What? Vinny is really pushin it! Showing off that big velvet rack to anyone who can actually spot a deer, never mind a hat rack to go. He ain't going to last long enough to rub all that fuzzy stuff off. what a shame. Jel-shur.

Yes your right Jel ,what a shame ,some bow hunter will take him on opening day ,LOL :lol:.

[dana]

What a shame? Jelly, are you a hunter or have you joined the dark side? I'm sure there are a lot of hunters that would love to harvest a buck like Vinny.

[Jelvis]

I bet there's lots of hunters who have their eyes on Vinny. Of course he's a beauty. I guess Vinny wouldn't want to hear me call him that. lol. Of course he's a grand size muley, and yes there will be other bucks between Merritt and Vavenby that will be a slight bit bigger than Vinny so we'll take our chances on a booker. 180 and up typ and a 210 non typ. In the mountains and gullies. Keep a close eye on Vin and let us know if he does a disappearing act about August 31st. He didn't get that big being STUPID. Jel-vinsula Vinny!

[dana]

So you are going to pass on all those dink 200 inchers so you can get a 210 buck? ;)

[Jelvis]

You know what it's like hunting out in the bush up here in the mountains if you see a nice one. You haven't got a whole lot of time to ponder if your going to take em. Not only that how many 175 typs and 200 non-typs are you going to see in a decade. I'll see what takes place in a short while. Want to try up Noble Lake area this year around Griffen hill. Looks pretty darn good if you like hiking around when hunting. This season should be the best in along time. Wetter Spring, warm Summer. High gas prices will take it's toll on tourists as well. Jel

[Jelvis]

Is Vinny still out there? Anyone seen Vinny? The Vinsula big four.
