“Running Late”
Posted by Rob on 29 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Scouting
Well here he is making his debut on the journal, please welcome “Running Late”. This is the 6×5 I spoke of earlier that is running with Deep Front. He’s around 25″ wide, decent fronts, good mass, average G-2’s & 3’s. His drivers side G-3 is splitting and his passenger side G-3 is a tripod - might be a shooter this year - we’ll have to see where he finishes out, like I said, he’s “Running Late” - Doesn’t Deep Front look big !!!!
All those who are curious about “Growing Pains” here’s a quick update - I have not seen him or “Lil Split” since last Thursday night the 19th of July - They’ll show back up, I have no doubt of that. Enjoy your week and I’ll update the journal when I get home next week.
P.S. - Wes is in Kansas scouting, setting up feeders and tree stands this week, he should be back in Colorado by the end of the week as well.
Take Care - Robert

“Deep Front” update
Posted by Rob on 29 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Scouting
Hello everyone, It’s late on Saturday night (July 28, 2007) and I’m trying really hard to get all of my stuff finished up, cause tomorrow morning I leave to go fishing for 5 days. I was out this morning a was able to capture some really good fotage of “Deep Front” and four of his buddies. Deep front is living up to his name - those G-4’s are almost 12″ long. He G-2 on his passenger side is really week but he should still finish out in the low to mid 170’s (maybe bigger ?). The narrow but on the right is a buck we watched last summer as well. He’s just a 3×4 thats only 20″ wide, but he’s got mass to spare. The buck I’m really excited about is a 6×5 (with out eye guards) thats been running with Deep front all summer - he’s just a little behind (see the next post).
Enjoy - Robert

” More Velvet “

I went out this evening with hopes of finding “Growing Pains” in the same spot as Sunday night, but instead I found a new buck I’ve never seen before. He’s not a giant by any means but he shows great potential. He’s only 18″ to 20″ wide, decent back forks with crab fronts and good G-1’s for 150″ deer, but whats really cool is the split on his G-3. Most definitley a 2008 shooter. See Ya - Rob

“Growing Pains” Looks Great
Posted by Rob on 16 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Scouting
It’s Sunday night - July 15, 2007 and I decided to take a evening scouting trip and get the dogs out of the house. While glassing the northwest side of the ranch I was please to see another familiar site. I located ”Growing Pains” not more than 50 yrds from where I saw him for the first time last year - man am I getting pumped up - Come on “Earl” were counting on you to show up !!!!
Have a great week - come back soon, you never know what’s going to show up next. Rob

Deep Front Lives !!!
Posted by Rob on 16 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Scouting
Wes and I were out on Saturday morning setting trail cameras and we were able to locate a familiar face, “Deep Front” has returned from last year with the same great front end and the same week G-2’s. He’s got about 6 weeks of growing time left and should finish out pretty good - 170″ to 175″ (he’s only 20″ to 22″ wide). This time last year was when all the good bucks started making themselves visable - were waiting to see “Earl”, “Lucky”, “Weak Back”, “Growing Pains”, etc… and whoever else we might find. Keep checking in - It’s just starting too get good - See ya soon, Rob
