Here is my first decent buck- after shooting a forky for my first buck, I decided the next tag's hunt would be for more than meat. Where we hunt is pack/walk-in only, so we packed staight up the mountain in 2 foot drifts. 7 hours later & exhausted, we set up camp (thank god for horses & spike tents). We had the whole mountain to ourselves; most folks stay away when the snow is so deep up there. This guy just happened to be wandering around 100 yards from camp opening morning, and I couldn't pass up the sight of him standing broadside. I'm very proud to say the first shot took him right through the heart, and he only went about 75 yards and piled up. It's a good thing I watched him- there was no blood trail to follow (internally he was hamburger). Thanks for letting me share him with all of you!(hope the picture works)
