12 W west Early

OGBugler · Aug 7, 2018

12AW early buck i killed a couple years ago. I only had two days to hunt, saw two like this one shot and had to go home. It is a magical place. Congrats to those North of the Ditch hunters this year.

Nice, I drew that tag this year (0) points. Going up next week to scout and again in September. Also will be there for a week before the season opens. Have to make the best of it.

Nice Buck! He seem fairly wide from the picture. Love the eye guards. I will be hunting this year as well. Already went there this year and liked what I saw. I am hoping to go back next weekend.

Have any of you guys noticed any affected antler growth from the drought?

Nice buck. Antler growth is unaffected by dry winter.

very nice buck. Congratulations. My 22 year old son drew the early hunt this year and it will be his very first time there. We are both getting pretty excited about it even though we only have 3 days to hunt. Thanks for posting the pic.

I have been up here scouting since Friday and have seen a lot of deer. But the bucks I have been seeing are mostly small horned. A lot of 3?s and 4?s but the majority of them are under 20?. Have seen a few bigger but not many. I will be here for the rest of the week and again next month for a week. Since Friday night I have put on almost 300 miles on my SxS so I am learning the area.

I was up there last weekend and wish I had my ATV. You are right about lots of young bucks. What are the rules up there as far as licensing ATVs? If I am registered out of state do I have to register my machine again down there?

Thanks!
