Man what a good hunt you guys had, don't it feel good to be the guy with the biggest buck? I have experienced that feeling before but it's been a long, long, long time ago!

Nice animals .Good job !! Exactly what I was hoping to find .I hunted Northern Idaho for the first time this year (3rd week of Nov.)and did not do well.Any tips/info ? When did the rut kick in ?? Up high ,down low ?Public land / Private ?Where were you at that you had snow ??? Then again I did not hunt the last week and maybe missed it . Thanks for sharing at least I know they are there somewhere .

Those are some killer eyeguards for sure, Both are good bucks, Good whitetails are just as hard to find as a big Muley.

HELL YES Trav, I wasn't going to mount a buck this year after last year, but I didn't have a choice. The "BOSS" the wife, couldn't even argue! What I don't understand is that there were at least 2 othetr bucks that were nontypicals that scored lower than mine and they were monsters!

orion23 · Mar 4, 2008

Yep, awesome buck no doubt.

were the NT's at the show also? must have missed those.

Not so hot.. we didn't see alot of deer at all.. My brother inlaw shot a ok 4x my other buddy past up a couple of 4x's for the big one, but he ended up eating his tag. Another buddy only had 4 days up with us and he settled for a doe. And as for me, I had an extra doe tag and I filled that tag 2nd to the last day. As for my buck, well lets just say on the last day I finally connected on what they call back east a 4 point.. Pretty sad year this season to say the least! I couldn't pas up the forky because of no luck on my elk hunt!!!

orion23 · Jan 4, 2009

you had the same luck as most it sounds...
