Are the corners of his eyes white, or is that a reflection? Makes my eyes cross just looking at him.

Nice buck, what's the story?
Rub some dirt on it, ya sissy!


Well it started when i got draw for this tag in northern idaho and i knew the area real good i do alot of bow hunting this unit for both whitetails and muleys and the scouting started and new about this buck and hunted him the first day and never seen nothing for bucks alot of does and this was oct 26 and the bucks should be ruting hard right now, so there is alot going through my mind did someone kill him, the season started in the 10th, so next moring i went do the next canyon first thing in the morning and its snowing sideways and can't see 100ft and after spotting a few does and nothing else. So we waited there for couple hours waiting for the weather to change then i got my break the sun started shinning through the clouds i could let my optices so the work, then i spotted some tines about 500 yards away and the wind was terrible so i found a better spot to look from and i could see him whole rack and i knew he was a shooter so we waited for 2 hrs for this buck to get up so i could get a shot at it, after 2 hrs nothing i decided to get a little closer and walk down the ridge and come up on him about 200 yards and wack him in is bed, so it took about 1/2 hr to get there and got on top of the ridge and the buck was gone couldn't see anything and then my heart drop i just screwed this one up, so i waited 1/2 hr longer and still nothing so i decided to walk down the draw he was in and walk down to the bottom of the canyon, got down about 20yrds and bam i seen tines start coming out of the red brush, then he smelt me or heard something and jump up and took off and threw one in my TC and gave him one of my finnest and i knew a had a good hit and gave one more and piled him up about 200 yrds down the hill, got to him and he's bigger than i thought, took pictures and packed him about 800 yards up hill, i got back to the truck at 4:30 it felt so good to get to the truck and drive about 1/2 hr and get on the cell phone and start calling all my buddies and tell them to come over and see this one, i got a dandy.
 
That is an awesome story, I love it when the rack gets bigger the closer you get to it.

Rub some dirt on it, ya sissy!
