Boise Town Buck...???

[Rizzy]

It makes sense that they excluded it for the triangle hunt, is all the exclusion within the hunt area?

I’m a proud public land backcountry hunter and I’ll gladly come to Oregon to shoot a 200” buck off your yard if it’s legal. I just won’t post it anywhere for the likes like the moron I was as a younger man. I sense you aren’t serious tho

I killed a famous buck once. Felt great even tho I went through hell afterwards because jealous well known poachers called the tip line followed by over zealous young wardens thinking they got me… nope, all legal and mounted on my wall.

Should anyone be proud of a giant when it’s tamed or frequents a golf course or neighborhood? Hell no, but IMO it way more ethically wrong any deer lives that way being famous and eats out of crazy cat ladies hand.

Everything has its price. It would have to be enough to cover me having to deal with the whining from the Californians that just built a house behind me.

I actually archery hunt the unit I live in, just personally don’t have the desire at all to shoot a town deer, even a giant one. I would feel bad everytime I looked at the antlers.

My son 16 at the time with a yard/field buck. He was home alone when he killed it and was exited which was great for him. That was a few years ago before they started coming in regularly. Neither boy has asked to kill one since.

I am not sure about your question. If you are asking if the triangle is completely inside of a single unit the answer is yes.

Interesting. I've never been around such a thing. Town deer in the midwest i've been around wouldn't be that easy to kill. All whitetails though.

We call it the triangle. It has a controlled hunt It also has some good bucks and some lu lu lemon scenery about 50% of said scenery is also bucks so be careful in the triangle.

The “triangle” closure only applies to the late archery hunt. You can hunt it all you want during general rifle

The thing I get hung up on is that it was living in unit 38. There's no rifle hunt in 38. it's totally within the realm of possible that it moved multiple miles into unit 39 it just seems odd that it did it during the middle of the rifle hunt before rut. A real field photo would go a long ways to ending this conversation. The only field photo currently looks like it's low by the river which is not open for hunting on either side.

Probably hit it with his car but wanted some clout and potentially win a $1,000 contest.

This is exactly where my thoughts went. I don't want to out right put him on blast but im definitely scratching my head.

I thought this SAGA deserved a little more attention. Looks like this buck was very famous to the locals. Someone ended up harvesting this buck during the rifle season.



Does anyone have any hard horned photos of this buck on the hoof?

Here are the pictures posted online.

Gotta love the backcountry vibes…
Public park, I mean public land OTC (off the couch, over the creek, oblivious to carnivores)
For all we know, that guy hiked ten miles all around the foothills and popped this guy chasing does at last light 100 yards from a trailhead. I’d like think that’s what happened

I was thinking of this in the regulations, but I think the expansion of city limits and new subdivisions makes it a mute point these days:




Unit 38 is a habituated town Deer. If it was a Landfill/Dry Creek Buck, I could see more possibility and less "sus"

Thanks for straightening that up. I haven't tried to hunt it with a rifle.
