From what I've seen taken on many of the general areas I can't complain about this one. Sunday, last day, I helped a guy out with some oil for his ATV b/c his fill plug came loose on the rear end and leaked alot. He came and found me again 20 minutes later to tell me about a 2 pt and 4 pt he and his friend found and offered to show me. I went with him and glassed them about 3/4 of a mile away and decided to put the stalk on them. An hour later after sneaking around another ridge into some rocks, I saw the 2 pt bed down. I glassed and saw another bedded close by in the trees but couldn't see the head so I moved to another rocky butte for a better look. I saw this one and took the shot without much more glassing. He never got up from his bed. I love that Leupold VXIII w/ B&C site. The shot was 397 lasered yards. A bigger, heavier racked 4 pt shot out of the trees about 20 yards from this one and stopped long enough for me to get a good look at him. He was about 25-26 inches figuring his rack went just outside the ears, and really good mass.

I thought the deer in Eastern Montana were heavy, this guy was fat!!! Glad I had my oldest boy and wife to help me out. My oldest will be hunting his first deer next year so I thought it was a good time to break him in.

Very nicely done Huntfx4! Looks like some good memories for your family and a nice buck to boot.
 
Nice and even nicer that you had the family there to share the memories.
Congrats
 
Congratulations, It pays off to lend a helping hand. Good story with a happy ending. Thanks for sharing..
 
257 I actually got away from the east canyon for deer. just too many hunters. I found another place to try out and it was great b/c there weren't that many hunters. guess the time to go is the last weekend. there were alot of hunters there the first weekend and alot of spikes and 2pts were shot up there is what i was told by one of the landowners that has land surrounding the blm i was on.
 
Way to go. It's good to see a good deed rewarded. There are still some decent people out there.
