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.
