After 10 years of of putting in for this hard draw i finally drew out the first year of points go figure. I thought this hunt was not what i was thinking it was going to be. If you wanted to see a ton of bucks this hunt is for you. If you want to kill a 165 to 170 class buck at best this hunt is great but dont expect to shoot anything bigger. I guess i might of had way to high of standards when i drew out. On the worst day i had, i still saw 20 bucks and the best was around 60 bucks. I hunted 10 days saw well over 250 bucks and never saw a buck over 165 to 170 in the prime of the rut. Paid a rancher to hunt witch gave us 50,000 acers to hunt to. He had big hay feilds with hunderds of deer in them but lots of dinker bucks. I did not even count all of those deer in the fields because they were more like livestock than a wild deer. I saw alot of deer shot and most were tiny.The top pic is my buck and that was the best scoring deer i saw killed. I was just under the impression this was a trophy area but i guess i was wrong. Still had a blast and for seeing #s you could not ask for more.What was the biggest downer for the trip was i never even talked to one person who even saw a big buck. Heck my Dad went to Co to a unit that takes 1 to 2 points to get and out of there group they shot 3 bucks bigger than mine including a 191 typical.We all waited to the last day to shoot thinking than big one was coming but just did not happen. I have a late Nv muzz tag in a week in a half so maybe i can find that buck that has been in my dreams now for 29 years. Sorry if i sounded negative maybe i just have read to much horn porn and look at this site to much lol.
