I will never condone anything that resembles a poacher or poaching but IF and its a big IF the person could not find a bull for a few days, the meat would be spoiled and nothing to take but some antlers, so it doesn't have to be a poaching incident, but that is unlikely, because the last bull hunt in 3c ended weeks ago.

Bargain???? Have you really never added up feed bill or tack?? Jk Congrats on your buck. Nicely done.

I glass into the shade during midday. Sometimes that is the north or north East/West side of a mtn, sometimes it is a draw or tree, or rock. All depends on where I am.

super buck!!! great job

Yes... Coues is better, but if done right Mule deer can be extremely good.

Great Buck!! I love the character

Great job, way to keep at it.

Shane I'll take them for my son...I'll pm you tomorrow...

Giant!!! Great job

My buddy just called about that truck. He isn't a CW.com member but I was looking at your truck. I have an 01 that is similar. Nice truck. Houston

This is a good buck. Good luck to all you 3a/3c hunters.

Carl- You can come shoot this big frame 2x2.... or this 150" 4x4 or this one

I normally don't post pictures of the biggest ones I find.. But I showed some people last night the picture so I guess Its no secret, Do you mean this one cbryant11??? Funny how everybody wants me to tell them about this buck, he is just a dink, won't even make 200. Maybe I'll get lucky and have my wife put her tag on him.

My wife has the tag, may pass it down to one of the kids. I've seen some good bucks, it should be a decent hunt. Good luck

Heck of an adventure!!! Nice job on some great speed goats. Great Pictures...

So finally I took my buddy up on a Salmon trip to Washington in between elk and deer hunts. We had a great time and I can't thank Stan enough!! It was a quick, but Awesome fishing trip. We fished for Salmon only 1 full day and had some great success.

What an awesome experience and awesome bull!!! 92 years young with archery tackle... Freakin sweet.

Great Trip!!! congrats on some good success and making memories.

I've digressed to calling them cooz, just because most everyone else does. In my mind it is Couse (Rhyme with House) I have an uncle who is a french speaking Canadian and that is how he would say it. Cooz sounds like un-educated red-neck term. Either way they are the greatest deer on the Planet!!!!

210 Berger with 90-92 Retumbo.. If my 210s didn't shoot so good I would try 230 hybrid. I agree with Stomp, you are shooting a 300 RUM...... so maximize it

Great job! Awesome experience and bull

Great buck!!

Every year there is a bull that either seems to be extra special to me, or I end up seeing quite a few times or something a little different. Last year it was a bull with giant fronts that really got me going. This year it was this bull. I'm not sure how many times I saw this bull, but it was over a dozen from velvet to hard horned. A buddy of mine chased him with a bow with no luck. We didn't even go after this bull during the rifle hunt because I figured he was only a 345-50 bull with 10"+ of extras, not what we wanted the first couple days of the hunt. Here he is and he scored mid 370's. Congrats to Burnt Timber and hunter, Nice job Daniel. Even though the picture is in another thread, I thought I would start this one about the bull. I found him in June first a few miles from the house and he was killed within a mile and 1/2 of the house. He moved probably less than 7 miles from velvet to where he was killed.

In your post you said that backpacking was not a problem, to me that sounds like you want to do a wilderness hunt if it means being more successful. Well this is my .02 worth. In January it is extremely easy to find bucks, just harder to kill with archery equipment, so unless you want to have the experience of backpacking in, I would spend that time and energy making stalk after stalk etc...I like backpack hunts, but usually I do it to get away from people and give myself a better opportunity to harvest a good buck. During January I would spend time in a unit with greater deer densities and camp more comfortably than do a back pack hunt. But that is my opinion.
