No taxidermy, just boil the skull and slap it on the wall. 👍

My wife has tagged out on 3 nice bucks on opening day the last 3 years since she decided to start hunting. The deer were holding tight at first light due to the wind. When I changed glassing seats I used the chest binos to scan closeby hills and found this fella and another buck at 700 yards. We boogied over there and got nice and close when he was bedded down. The shot was 140 yards.

133 1/2

Congrats, welcome to the club.

Congrats! Dream buck

Kevin- get out of here with that comment Yeah- her second shot wasn’t necessarily but she saw him moving and put a second round right in the dome

He did have a Roman nose. His neck was thick with a chunk body and beer belly, I figured an older buck but he had no wear on his teeth so 4-5 years is my guess.

Congrats! Exciting moment for everyobe

Had a great hunt. Lots of scouting, research, great friends and family came together to harvest a hit list bull.

Thanks! I used 50 cal 300 grain sst with 150 grain of triple 7. No pass through and the bullet went to the opposite side, probably a 2 inch diameter funnel from one shoulder to the other.

Price?

Sold

Bump again- shoot some offers in pm

PM with offers or trades if anyone’s interested, thanks!

I was quoting you from earlier cuz wife got tag 202 out of 375 and she got hit on Wed. But then later I read that we got the tag that came from the person who got rejected

Yeah stay away from 34b early hunts, it’s so bad that I’ve only been able to kill my biggest bucks there. Horrible! Stick to the 36’s, more hunters but far more opportunities. 5 bucks a day in 34 is same as 15 bucks a day in 36’s. Dont fall for the horror stories you read about hunting pressure- most of those folks are hunting by the road. Hike over a hill or 1/2 mile from a road and you’ll be alone most of the time.

Glassing wasn’t working well- snow was 12-20 inches on the hillside. About 11 we decided to start hiking ridgelines and try to find pigs down in the cuts. After a few hours finally located a herd. We snuck in to 143 yards and the rest is history! Fun facts- it was 3 degrees in the morning- the key in the ranger ignition was frozen solid, had to use coffee to get the ranger to turn over several times in the morning.

Awesome! You reminded me of a time I had javelina located, maybe 700 yards off and they all spooked. I was glassing around and could only see a road runner, I was watching it and caught moment below. A bobcat was stalkin the roadrunner and shortly after got it! One solid leap and he pounded it. Those pigs ran off a good half mile and started feeding again, wouldn’t surprise me if bobcats slay those red/juvies all the time.

Makes sense- congrats again!

Congrats. Why did you try calling when they were bedded down?

Awesome

Good times on this hunt, weather was against us, managed to drop two on the 7th stalk.
