This past weekend I shot my first and am sure my only banded buck. I can't kill a dang duck or goose with a band, so the second I laid eyes on this buck, I had to got after him.
There was a bigger four point in the canyon, but I had to kill "the band".
Long story short, good buddy glass the stalk and helped me get right on top of him. Thirty yards, and steep down hill. Twenty yard pin through the lungs, and he piled up not a hundred yards.
I called the number on the radio collar and the biologist was pretty cool. He asked me where I found it, and I told him on my dead buck I just killed. I thought he would be mad, but was cool about it. Told me where he put it on and when, I figured he would ask for it back, expensive you know. I guess my buck had a cheater last year and none this year.
He is 23" wide and tall, four inch eye guards and pretty heavy. Won't quite make P&Y, maybe next year. Biggest with a bow to date.
Lost my camera, got some video, but don't know how to pull a picture off the tape, when I figure that out, I will post a pic.
Was a blast and now I only have five tags left.
Any one else shot a "banded" Buck?
