Early Area 6 Buck

amadorhunter · Oct 24, 2017

Hunted the last week of early 6 to connect with this my buck in 067. Spotted him at 7:05 AM at 1,497 yards across a big open canyon. He was perched on a big open mountain top with mostly grass and a few patches of bush. After waiting him out until 9 AM to bed down, the stalk began. We had to go around three mountains to get with in 130 yards above him. Once we closed the distance we found him in his bed still, he had moved slightly but thankfully after loosing sight of him for close to 2-1/2 hrs. he was still there. waited 45 minutes for him to stand up, finally I couldn't take it anymore, and decided to take the shot at him in his bed. One shot from my 300 WSM and it was over.

Couldn't be happier. He's 30" at his widest point, did not score him. Hoping he makes 175", I will know one he gets finished up by the taxidermist.

The warm and dry conditions made things a bit tough, but we where able to locate a few quality bucks.

Nice buck! Your guide was really proud of him too, how come no mention of you being on a guided hunt? I guess it sounds better when you make it out like you did some solo hunt by yourself, LOL, you Californians are funny. Keep pumping money into Elko County though, we appreciate it.

Maybe his guide was a ##### like you so he didn't mention him. It's his post he can write what he wants. Nice buck.

Classic dipshit move calling other hunters out here on MM. Madtrappers first post here and he's already a douchbag! Way to keep it classy. LOL

Nice job on a great buck. 6 was tough this year with or without a guide. I think Madsnapper is either someone who killed a deer much smaller than yours, or he's a guide who got paid good money and couldn't find any good bucks this year. Either way, you know you're doing good when people are slinging mud at you.........take it as a compliment.????-SS
