deer droping antlers
 

its time for them, and for me to walk around the property and find nice ones. usually good for a couple five pointers. no beavers out in the river yet. they must be having young in the nests and when they pop out, down goes the willow and cottonwood bushes and trees.
We had no snow on the ground all winter long. this week got some and its still sticking because of the cool weather. Our snowppack is below 50% of normal and expecting low river flows this summer.

Re: deer droping antlers
 

Do they let you trap beaver out there? You can go to jail if you do it here, so we just live in the fear of random flooding.

Re: deer droping antlers
 

Long ago if seems, I posted about finding a great pair of elk antlers. I found them while bushwhacking cross country and they are in great shape, a hair more than 3-feet tall, and are a large 5 point rack. I packed them out (a chore as they are quite heavy) and they lean up next to my fireplace. I also have an elk skull on the fireplace mantle and two large elk vertabra that decorate my wood CD holders.

We got lots of snow, in fact it snowed last night and now I am about to go cross-country skiing.

The low river flows will impact fishing right?

Hope you had a fun and relaxing time on your vacation/trip along the west coast.

hehe we can just about hand feed the deer on some of our properities b/c everyone around us hunts them...so they all run to our spread to hide out lol its sorta funny....our poor horses get so mad cause they just continue to stay most of the year. One of them chases them for fun...i think shes delusional

Re: deer droping antlers
 

Don't tease me guys. Bowhunting is my first addiction and Sept 15 is still a long long ways away.

If a 5 pointer is big you must be talking mule deer.

I have a carved elk antler from a Zumi(?) indian in AZ. Wish I had a camera to drop a photo inline.

Re: deer droping antlers
 

I've got to come back to Kalispell for a week in April - probably after the 16th -

should be good - springtime in MT always rocks - hopefully it will have melted by then in the valley and up in the hills where Dad lives.

I catch 10+lb rainbows in it consistently...haha the horses love playin with them too!! And theres a bear!!

Re: deer droping antlers

They don't make trout that big here back east.....sigh

Re: deer droping antlers
 

No I wasn't. For a second I thought peachy was claiming to be Tom Hanks daughter which wouldn't surprise me one bit. I guess I jumped the gun and pretty much made myself look like a jackass. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Good job, I guess I need to be more careful.

Re: deer droping antlers
 

The low snow pack and projected record low flows are
going make it tough on the trout this summer. This will be the 7th yr of drought. Populations may take a big hit.
