My '05 Utah buck

Dahlmer · Oct 24, 2005

LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-05 AT 10:05PM (MST)[p]We ran into this buck opening morning right at daylight. He stopped broadside at about 180 yards and I was fortunate enough to put a good shot on him. He was laying dead about 15 yards from where he was standing when I shot. I definately went home happy this year.

My dad who guided my hunt this year.

Back home with my daughters who think dad is pretty cool.

Awesome buck man...how wide is he? 27? looks like he should score in the 170's...some great lookin scenery. Hopefully your girls will grow up to shoot big bucks like their dad.....

Nice buck... looks like the "Pass It On" tradition is working well in that family. Good job.

Great looking buck , congrats . I think the next best picture of one out in the hills , is one with kids in them . I have a couple with my wifes elk and my daughter and another with my oryx and my other little one , and they make me smile every time I look at them . Great job on a good deer and better yet on "passing it on" ....NMHUNTNUTT

Dahlmer,

Great buck man...love the pics! Was this on private land (cwmu), or during the general rifle hunt? The only reason I ask is because I didn't notice any hunter orange in your pics. Not trying to criticize, just wondering. Despite it being against the law, if it was during the general hunt, you've got some giant nads to not wear orange in Utah! Gutsy move.

Very nice buck though. Congrats.

Awesome buck and awesome to share with your dad. I wondered about the orange thing myself.

Dahlmer · Oct 25, 2005

LAST EDITED ON Oct-25-05 AT 04:53PM (MST)[p]No, we were on public ground, general season...the orange is sitting on some oak brush about 10 yards away. We drug the deer up hill for about 20 yards to take pictures and worked outselves into a sweat, thus the removal of coats, sweatshirts, vests, and orange. We didn't see another hunter on top of the mountain, although we saw a few down at the bottom.

Here's a picture with the orange back on.

Dahlmer,

Nice buck.

Did you muzzleload in the same area. Dedicated hunter?

CAjackrabbitWCP · Oct 26, 2005

Awesome buck I love how the main beams curve in and up I've always wanted to shoot a buck like that.

Also how big are the eye guards on that buck you have mounted in the backround they look to be 5-6 inches!!!!!

bcmulie · Oct 26, 2005

Dahlmer, when I first openned your post I thought for an instant that it was a picture of me. We look an awful lot alike. Of course, that could just be me wishing that I was in your shoes - I'd love to take a buck like yours. What a beauty!

Oh well, I may not have a buck like that (yet!) but I do have two daughters like you. Looks like you've got a great family, and some up-and-coming hunting partners. Congrats on all of the above (especially the looking like me part ;-) )

Dahlmer · Oct 26, 2005

No, Grally, I'm not dedicated. I've never muzzleloaded although I would like to try it some time.

Here's a full picture CAjackrabbit. This is a buck my dad killed 3 yrs ago on the Paunsagaunt. I think the eye guards are between 4 and 5 inches.

bcmulie, you must be one handsome devil! I'm definately looking forward to hunting with my kids when they get a little older.
