Hyrum and his son Seth hunted together and found this buck. The
buck was shot at 185 yards uphill as he was bedded down with three other
bucks. The buck was taken with a 7mm mag with 150 gr ballistic tip.

Tal shot this nice buck on Saturday morning in area 36A. He spotted him
on a high hill while hiking a canyon. The buck had not seen him
yet so Tal had time to lay down and get a good shot. Tal estimated the
distance at about 400 yards. He held about 1 foot over his back and
hit him dead center in the chest cavity with the 1st shot from his 30-06.
Oct 2006 - Tal recently updated the information here. He measured
this buck at 104.5 gross and 97.25 with deductions. And he sent in a photo
of his mount. Tal is headed out this year to the same area in hopes of
finding another great buck!
Darren Choate

Opening day he saw 13 bucks. Late
in the day he took two shots, but missed. Darren did not account for the
wind that was gusting about 10-15 mph, and it was a straight-on shot,
probably one he thinks he should not have taken. Or perhaps buck fever had
set in.
Day two Darren once again spotted
the biggest buck he had seen on the first day. Before he could make a move,
the buck was startled by something on a hillside near to him. After watching
several bucks, Darren went to an area that he suspected this buck was
bedded. Sure enough, under the same tree he had seen a different buck the
day before there he was. Darren closed the distance and put him down.
Then, he had to pack me,
my gear, and the deer (quartered) 2 miles back
to the truck. Needless to say, he was exhausted.
Darren
thinks the buck scores about 90 inches and it has a 16 inch inside spread.
