The rut isn't going to happen for a while this guy just stripped yesterday.

Yeah he is a southern Utah buck...they have a lot of red in them

I wont speak for trphyhntr but this mountain is pretty close over all. Especially after high school. It is sure fun to see and be a part of our (any) rural public schools dominating over private "valley" schools. Yeah we take pride in where we are from.

Can you imagine the shame!!! It's a repeating rifle! Your not a real hunter if you can't get it done with one bullet.

It was horrible. It seems like all of the outfitters and guides post under social media and I have yet to see anything to write home about. Tough year for sure. Thats a great ol photo, seems like I've seen it but can't place it?? Story behind it?

Good buck, especially at the end of the year. Way to go.

Whatever you do, start it quick the waiting is the hardest part and if you can afford it start with multiple cans. Guaranteed you won't want just one

My wife have a good arrangement, she told me I could put the mounts on the walls and when the walls were filled up she could get a new house. So I bought a house with 23 ft walls and keep filling them up..

yeah thats your sportsmans ID this stupid customer ID is something we have never even used, they just assigned to us when the porthole was created. one more # to keep track of. If you go to your portal, and then dashboard it is right at the top. At least it is for mine.

Well that's too bad. Kodiak is a strange place.

Giant ram! So jealous!

Sweet bull, lots of cool character

Super cool for the young lady!! Great job to all involved

I have one you can have but I'm up here in the Pinedale/Clay Springs area.

Couple good bucks, always fun to be the one behind the trigger

Good luck!!

Here is an average to fine horned buck with some long tine length?? Guesses?? 20211028_081800_2.mp4 20211028_063408_2.mp4

I got lucky and got a voucher for 3rd season CO last Saturday. Spent Saturday and part of Sunday scouting, drove thousands of miles learning a new unit, glassed a bunch and 20+ hours in maps and calls to acquaintances. I came home went to work and drove back up late Thursday night. I found this buck right away on a knob I had scouted via maps and Onx. Took some video and bailed looking at more country. In person I couldn't get him over 175" so I questioned if I wanted to pass him. After talking with a few people that had had the tag in the past, others that have hunted it and those who lived in CO and others giving me their opinion on score I decided to try and kill the buck. Being by myself I decided to get in as close as I could in the dark, well as luck would have it, someone walked by me after light and proceeded to push deer everywhere. For some reason he didn't see the buck and about 20 min later the hunter went one way and the buck went another way. I shot this buck around 7:10am and packed him out in 2 trips by 2 or 2:30 pm. Scored 178 2/8ths.

Thanks for talking to me...I really got lucky but put a lot of miles learning the unit and lots of hours pouring over maps.

Landowners get them and they can sell them. 3rd and 4th season tags go for a lot of money unless it is a dry year with little to no migration and then people drop the price in order to sell them. Still expensive but not nearly what they can be...

Grossed 185. I actually thought he could hit 190 in person...his tine length looked incredible. Very pretty buck that I've seen for a few years and evidently a few others did as well.

Yeah having been in CO a few times just never this unit I wasn't sure what to expect. Everyone and I mean everyone was telling me with the hot weather, lack of high country snow and the decline in the mature bucks in most of CO I figured a 175 class buck was good enough. I only had a 4 total days to hunt anyway, that made the decision a little easier. I talked with a guy that has bought a voucher for the last 5 or 7 years and hasn't killed anything over 170 yet. I didn't know what to think

Made a new post with pictures, Grossed 178 and 2/8ths Biggest Coues I've shot

What units??? I don't think you know where this buck was at.
