Bucks I've shot:
Rambo -rammed my decoy
Bigfoot -huge tracks
Sharky -bladed brows that looked like shark fins from the side
Mega Brow -huge split brows
Shredder -rubbing trees every time I saw him
Kickstand -droptine / kicker on one side
Socks -snuck in sock footed in a blizzard for the shot
All 4's -crawled on hands and knees for over 100 yards to get the shot
Lucky -named by other hunters that he had eluded, then I got lucky......fitting name
Rehab Mitch -goofy name. When I passed him the year before he reminded me of a smaller version of the Mitch Rompala buck. Then I shot him while still in rehab following a shoulder surgery. Ended up combining the names.
Bucks I've hunted or have history with:
Rocker -hunted for 3 years, landowner shot him. Main beams swept up like a rocking chair (170's)
Wideload -wide buck I'm hoping is still alive, didn't see him last year. (160+)
Tyrone -never got him, named after a magazine buck that he resembled (huge!)
Charlie -never got him, looked like a buck Charles Alsheimer had photographed (150's)
Dagger -never got him, had a 9+ inch dagger pointing forward off his base (160's)
Captain Hook -never got him, brow tines hooked out sharply (160's)
12 Pack -a main framed 12 I hunted on public land. He was later shot by another hunter. (170's)
Spades -a buck that I have 2 years of sheds from, never seen after a hunter wounded him. Main beams flattened out like a spade / shovel. (170's main framed 8)
I've been naming them for years so there are others that I've named that I've since forgotten.:way:
