Buck Nicknames??

It always cracks me up when people tell their stories and have awesome names for their bucks they see. Over the years Ive heard some pretty sweet ones. I love the stories of how they got their names as well.

These are some of the bucks I have around this year that I have named…………
S.B.T (short brow ten)
Laguna
The Licking 8
Truck
Puff Daddy
Model A

Anyone care to share some of the titles you have given your bucks?

This year we’ve got Crab Claw and Kicks Brooks (G2 Kicker). The little six was Ronnie Dunn because they would both always show up together, until he was poached.

While there is the slightly humorous aspect to it, the reason I name the bucks is mostly practical. To be able to reference the specific buck without long, drawn out descriptions, like saying, “You know, that 8 point with the uneven brow tines and the long slightly downturned tip on the left side. No, not the one with the white tip, the one with…”

So far, we’ve had:

Brutus Beefcake – huge, muscular body for his head/rack size, he looked like a body builder. Proved to have a small brain as well as he walked out into a wide open fenceline on opening day and the freaking neighbors shot him. On our side of the line.

Bullwinkle – named for the way his antlers seemed to come straight out of the side of his head like the cartoon moose.

Mr. Basket – basket-racked 6.

Jessie and Adrian – Named after the East West Connection tag-team of Jesse Vantura and Adrian Adonis, these two bucks were always seen together.

Grouse

1. Old Man – This old buck had nothing better to do than drive by all my trail cams for the entire season

2. (From left to right) 2A. Patrick – From the movie Ghost. Never had a close up shot of him on a trail cam. Always faintly in the background or hidden by other deer in the foreground. True to being a Ghost, he would just appear in the middle of a field and never caught on the 14 trail cams I had running on my land. The day he was shot, he had just about sneaked past me. He was on a doe and from where he was laying/walking through, the sun reflection made his fur look just like turkey feathers. After about 20 minutes, I glassed him again and could finally see his rack. He gave me a beautiful broadside standing shot at 458yrds.

2B – Acorn. This overly photogenic buck had the deformity in his rack early on. It was very fitting that Olivia named him early in the summer, then shot him as her first buck. We had about 500 or more pics of this guy. She had passed him up every day looking for Ghost or Bullwinkle. 2nd to last day of gun season, she decided it was time to fill her tag with her first buck.

2C. Bullwinkle – Very thin rack and small deer for his age (4-1/2). From age 1-1/2 his trail cam pics were very distinctive. Very wide and no height to his rack. Our favorite pics of him was at 2-1/2 old. About the same width as he had in the pic, put each of the G’s were only about 1″ tall and they looked pretty straight up and down like the cartoon character.

Dick – For a lack of better terms, he’s a stud

It’s funny you brought up this topic…..
We just named this buck “Middle Finger” for a couple different reasons…
1. He’s got a random finger point(3-4 inches) inbetween his G2/G3 on the right side(not the split G2).
2. He was an absolute ghost last year during the season. Only saw trail cam pictures of him at night.
3. He was in my food plot an hour before sunset on opening day of bow this year!! Pulled the cards and wanted to cry. I was too busy fishing a bass tournament.

Hopefully I can put my hands on him this year.

Well that serves you right for fishing during hunting season J/K

I like that “finger point” cool looking and just random as heck.
