Passed on a 3 point at about 8:00 and shot a 3x4 at 8:40. Lots of does. I watched this buck move about 400 yards until he got to the top of the hill 184 yards from me when I shot him. He dropped 10 yards or so from the 4 wheeler trail, it was sweet. First time Ive ever done that on purpose. He is no monster by any stretch of the imagination but my goal was a 4 point on at least one side and he just made it.

Congrats big creek

congrats bigcreek on taking what sounds to be at least a 3 yr old deer? its better than shooting a forked horn. i am hoping to take a four point or better on the last weekend, i know its going to be a tough hunt though.

Here he is in all his glory. He has to be pushing 200". I mean those deep forks are really something. I wanted to hunt longer and find a bigger buck but my wife is pregnant and feels like crud and could use some help around the homestead. Im sure some of you know what Im talking about.

Right on man, hes almost a 4x4.

Herd of 8 bucks came right to me, and at 7:40 am, I shot the wrong buck! Oh well, there's always next year. I used my trusty .270 and made a 120 yard heart shot that busted through both front shoulders!

 

[bigcreekmetal]

Well for the wrong buck hes a real dandy one, congratulations!

My daughter got her buck on Oct 6th in unit 57 and My son and I got ours on Oct 10th in unit 59, not great pics but

Now it is time to get off the computer and start butchering

We saw about 30 does and she shot the bigger of the 2 bucks we saw, the deer seem to be in different places then they were before the fire a couple of years ago. Good luck bhttp://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/User_files/46cfa7275632b29c.jpg

Ok talked to them, they said deer and bucks everywhere! Climb as high as you can in the steepest stuff you can find, thus is a given but sounds like more deer than usual. Each missed big maturw nice bucks including one monster 5x5 so the story goes. Another guy from there hunting campshot a pretty nice four point from what I hear. All are off the mountain now with hopes to return soon. Good luck!!!

 

[broncos21]

Was this more near the pine area was near the falls creak area up high more elk than deer up there

 

[IDshooter695]

I was up Rocky Bar above featherville and hiked in the snow in steep nasty country,didn't even see a doe.I only heard two shots close together. Went through Pine and didn't see any deer hanging in camps.Talked to a lot of people and they are all saying the same thing. Hmmmm.

 

[huntfish714]

Sorry took so long, they said no elk just ton of deer. Pennel creek and ?spring? Mountain. Its been forever since I've been up there but pretty sure right out of featherville. Few went back up the late by pine only a couple does and fawns said they bet if they had brought the spotting scope they probably would have seen some bucks on the rimrock
