LAST EDITED ON Nov-22-17 AT 05:49PM (MST)[p]Well after watching my sons shoot a few good buck over the last few years , I thought it was time to cash in some points on a 4th season hunt.
The season was a lot tougher than I thought. The deer numbers seemed to be about half of what they should have been. With my son and myself covering one side of the unit and my buddiy Elks96 covering the other half , we were seeing on average 10-12 bucks each day but all small 3-4 points. The biggest being a 25? 4x4. On the second to last day of the hunt, right as the sun was setting and the snow began to fly , my son spotted 2 deer coming out of the thick brush into a meadow . His words were? big buck , big buck? I got set up and soon as a doe moved out of the way , with one 250 yard shot he dropped . He is not the buck I had went into the season hoping for but I am beyond happy with him after seeing what the season had to offer . We made the best of it and had a good time !
