I know I shot a little 2 point for some meat in the freazer. but I am wondering if there is anything worth mentioning that was taken.

I shot a 24" 4x4 this morning (Sunday) at about 10:00am. I forgot my digital camera, so I'll have to wait for the 35mm's to be developed and see if I can scan in a picture. It's way too warm to hang a deer for very long so I cleaned him and hauled @$$ for the locker.

I shot him with '57 Winchester Model 70 .300 H&H with 180gr Winchester Silver Tips. I was hunting down by Birdseye. I wore off a lot of boot leather and this was the only buck I saw all weekend!

Crimedog, good to see you on the forum. I didn't know you were a hunter. I got a decent 3x3 10 min into the hunt on Saturday. I will post pics as soon as I get them. I can't wait for everyone to pick apart my deer and tell me that I shouldn't have shot it and this and that......I was home had breakfast, skinned and hanging in time for the game.

I shot a small 4x4 Sat. morning up by Strawberry NE unit. We saw a few small bucks in the canyon we were hunting. We will go back next weekend and try to get my sons a shot.

Ok, so he is a little small laugh all you want (atleast he is 4x4). NE 8:20 opening morning and should have waited 30 more seconds. I knew there were alot bigger bucks in the canyon I just didn't realize they were still laying in the brush next to where this one came out of(probably the Nomad buck). Oh, well time to get ready for Colorado.

I did see two other bucks that were respectable taken opening morning.

Nice buck southslope. I suppose your going to tell me you live in Altamont County. The only county in the US where ya can make a u turn and flutter her eyes at you. And the only location in existence of Altamont calendar girls. There is no freaking way that is the Nomad buck. I almost bet ya took it off of the Indian Res. Any bets?
Anyway congrats to ya and the monster south slope buckskin. I can't wait to hear Bobcats Reply. Knowing you intentionally took the possible nomad buck or even thought about it.

So that would make you from the Myton area? LOL I thought I got all the feathers off before I took the pic J/K. I was refering to the buck still laying down as the Nomad buck not the one I blasted. Yes I too anticipate some animated comment from the cat.

Not even close to the buck I missed with the smoke pole.

They would have to close the season for about four or five years for a buck to reach 6 years old in the basin.
