I met Peakfreak out huntin this year and i must say he is 100% pimp! one of the most down-to-earth guys you could ever meet. here is his buck and his story.


Here is my 2006 Utah rifle buck. I haven't shot a deer in 11 years. Well after this weekend I'm hooked on mule deer.
Late Saturday night me, my dad and friend Steve Dempsy were glassing up five bull elk, two small bucks and a coyote just before dark. I saw the yote and told Steve to check it out when he threw his glasses up they landed on a huge bodied deer. He said "check out the size of that deer". I knew it was going to be a big buck, but how big I didn't know. I looked through the Televid 77 and saw my buck for the first time. He had good width and a big G2's. He looked like a big 4x3 so I wasn't sure if I wanted to take him. My dad said " lets get a closer look". We were about 1,500 yards from the buck with not much light left so we hurried down the hill to a knoll where I could take a shot. On the hike over I decided I was going to shoot this buck no matter what. We topped the small ridge and I ranged him at 432 yards. I threw down my pack and hit the ground, laid my Browning A-bolt 300 wsm across my pack, pumped a little ice through my veins and pulled the trigger. Oops I forgot to take the saftey off so I guess that was my practice shot. He was quartering to his right so I held my Leupold B&C 400 mark on the top of his back and let one loose. My ears are still ringing from that stupid muzzle break. Anyways Steve said " he jumped, I think you hit him". He started moving down the hill towards us. So I chambered another accubond and found him and gave the trigger another pull. Steve then said " you broke his back leg". Then the buck went a little further and piled up on the ground. My dad took off like Carl Lewis so I had to pull a Ben Johnson, without the juice, and pass him. I reached the buck and there was no ground shrinkage here. I was pumped to see he was a 4x5 with an inline between his two and three. 24" wide with 17" G2's. After a few hugs and high fives we took some great pics.(Thanks Steve) I found the 180 grain accubond thought you might like to see it. I was impressed with it. This was the biggest and most stinky buck I have taken. So I'm going to get him mounted.
I just want to say thanks to my awesome most patient wife Lisa. If it wasn't for her I couldn't have done this. Oh yeah I almost for got to tell you where I shot him. It was somewhere between Arizona and Idaho. Life is good.
