Naming your bucks

Don't name bucks and don't harvest deer.
About as far as I go with it is saying "wide 8", "big 10" "smaller 10", something along those lines.

Yep sure do the good ones. Its much easier to keep track of them with a one word name then " tall eight with good brows and left side kicker" etc etc.
I name all mine Limpy Gimpy.
Especially when you might have half a dozen or more good 8's at the same time.
I am horrible with remembering names and if I applied it to deer I would just forget them.
This reminded me when I was in a hunting club and a couple of guys I hunted with came up with names for bucks but it was always Steve, Bob, Earl, etc and does we're Flores, Ray, Mia. When they would get back at camp they would use code talk to talk about bucks they had seen and what they were doing. Kinda sneaky but when in a club with 50 members it's felt like public land sometimes.

If their differences make them stand out. Mostly like "wide 9" "tall 8" but I call one of my deer on the wall "Buckley"
Hahaha that's actually pretty clever.
I dont normally share buck names with anybody. No YouTube, no social media, just nerdy data sheets for my own personal records. For example, "Capt. Hook" was at this scrape at 7:15am on Nov 2nd, 4mph sw wind, 45*. After a season or two or three, I have a good sense of where he likes to be and when, in case I want to hunt him. It's not always dependable, but often enough it is.

We had one we called the 'sausage buck' about 5 years ago. Over 250lb 6.5yo cull. He would have made a LOT of sausage, but he evaded us the entire season. Hated he never showed back up since

they are not dogs! nor are they my pets! nor do they belong to me!
Kinda funny, I don't remember ever having more than 1 decent buck per season grace my tcams with their presence to even consider naming it. If and when it did, it was just "the biggun"
