LAST EDITED ON Aug-21-14 AT 04:26PM (MST)[p]I ran into this guy tues morning attempting to get to a little spike camp I have at 10,000'. I wasn't sure if i wanted to shoot a 3pt that was 4 miles from the truck but when he decided to bed down in the most perfect spot for an easy stalk, well I just couldn't turn a great opportunity down. After a hour of slowly slipping down the backside of the ridge he was bedded on, I topped over the ridge to find him still in his bed at 52yds. He sure looked a lot bigger the closer i got and thought he was close to a 30 inch buck. Drew back, leveled my bow, put my red pin on his vitals, and turned it loose. Gotta love the unmistakeable sound of an arrow finding its mark. After couple of hours of waiting and following a great 500yd blood trail I caught up to this giant of a 3pt. This bugger was much bigger than I was thinking. Now my dilemma is-- Is he a wall hanger? I never thought i would ever mount a 3pt but......
