Glassed this buck up Friday and my brother shot it -heck of a Roman nose and crooked as well . 4x4 by the way ....

Headed out this morning for a couple of hours to a different spot east of the valley that has held decent quail numbers over the last 10 years or so. 5 mile hike, 7 birds and spooked up 4 decent size mule deer bucks, so that was a good surprise. Really liking the Federal HiBird shells in a #6. No lost birds this trip and the heavier shot doesn't chew up the bird any more than when I was using #7.5. Really cuts down on time looking for a downed bird....they drop like a rock, so probably sticking with that round for the remainder of the year. Gonna try some of Hank Shaw's quail recipes this time around. Good stuff.

Seems that the Roman nose is always an attention getter. I got this video of this buck in September and plenty of photos of him since and I can’t get over how crazy his nose is. Let’s see what some of you guys have seen over the years as far as Roman noses go. Thanks 👍🏻... FYI, we could use some rain in the desert... FullSizeRender.mov

She had a blessed year drawing an unlikely tag her first try and then getting to take this bull with one shot of the 7MM at about 45 yards in self defense as he was coming to trample us:) This was 10/3 at 4pm in the afternoon. We never could find any rutting action and never saw a cow in the two days we hunted. We just had moved sides of the unit to try an old area for the evening and had hiked into a secluded area. My daughter is a good hiker and we were just cold cow calling every couple hundred yards and this guy let out a very faint quick half-a-second groan/sigh really, like the very very end sound portion of a bugle, at maybe 100 yards or so, I'm sure from his bed. I was pretty sure it was an elk, but expected it to be a spike or something, but within a matter of seconds we saw him coming, we jumped down prone and got her all set up. She is really good at finding things in the scope but this time wasn't much of a challenge haha. My father dropped back to continue cow calling during this time, and the bull never really stopped coming so I had to eventually tell her to just shoot him before he got too close. He went down in about 10 seconds, and she was a very happy hunter!

Nice looking shotgun.

How’d it go?

Hard to replace the throw out bearing and clutch on an auto

Sorry, I’m just Jealous your deer hunting and I’m not . and I’ve been drinking

But you won’t have to worry about the herp anymore if your dead.

All our deer are super skinny over here in the southwest corner of the state. We might get some rain next week but we needed it the last few months to help green up the desert. The waterholes are drained like I've never seen before and the warm days heading into November are not helping the situation. Hoping for cooler and wet weather soon.

Congratulations on a very fine buck and what looked like a good time in Wyoming. The only thing missing is a big TRUMP sticker on the RTIC ice chest.

Congrats

Congrats to you guys. Sounds like a good time and glad you didn't call the hunt off early. There is not a better feeling than thinking you are going to go home with tag soup and then filling your tag in the last few hours.

What area of Wyoming were you in? We were hunting just north of Lusk an the eastern side of the state. Not as many deer this year. Very dry and the land where we hunt the rancher turned off 2 of his solar windmills. We went 1/5. Congrats on a few nice bucks!!

Been doing a lot of evening glassing. Bringing my youngster with me. Been taking the pellet gun and some little targets with me anf making him shoot while I glass. Just getting him used to finding the targets. Just a small thing you can do and cheaper then riring rounds, especially right now.

I don’t think anybody has a problem with choosing to hunt that way. What does bug me is when grown men and women feel like they have to poo poo the way someone hunted in a story they chose to share with the whole site, just because it isn’t exactly the flavor of hunting they prefer. Imagine if some dude came on here and said how stupid you were for hunting 1:1 with your grandson. What if long range guys came on here and told guys that shoot deer at 200 yds that their way of hunting was inferior or lame or whatever. Why do people find it necessary to come gripe about how someone else chooses to hunt. What if guys who shoot dinks came and bitched about guys shooting bucks that are “too big”. I just don’t get why people feel compelled to come on a site, read someone else’s story and then complain about it as if it will somehow cause everyone else to have some revelation about the enlightened form of hunting. It would be super cool if people were just like.. “Great buck, congrats!”

If you enjoy hunting by yourself that's your right, but personally I like hunting with friends. I also don't feel this is the place to voice your opinion when the intent was to help a KID! I just don't understand why fellow hunters have to be so devisive! Why can't you just be happy our passion for hunting is being shared and most likely continued with a future generation!!!! This type of devisive and negative talk is why so many good people have stopped contributing to this forum!

That is awesome. Sounds like you need to make sure he knows what "do it up" means before his next hunt.

Dam! You won the most F’d up hunt of the weekend!

VERY AWESOME!!!!! That pic is the best!!!!

FOC is important for arrow flight with a fixed blade BH design. Not so much with an expandable although proper FOC improves arrow flight in both instances. Altering FOC affects spine. Something to pay attention to when experimenting with FOC.

I’ll bite! I was fortunate to take this great buck last Friday on the Bab. It was a tough year but there were some great bucks out there. This was the last night of my 14 day hunt.

We don't have tags but we do have cameras out, good luck to all.
