1st Archery Deer

[grizzly]

My first deer with a bow.

We climbed over 3700 vertical feet... but the afternoon thunderstorms cleared and we found ourselves on the ridge above him when he came out to feed.

The wind was good and I was able to stalk down avalanche chutes and shoot him off a cliff at 37 yards. The Montec did its job and he only went 15 yards.

A special thanks to my wife for being my favorite hunting buddy, and for carrying out two quarters on her back.

I can't wait for next year.

PS. Gross score of 186 1/8 with exactly 4 inches of deductions.

>186? Great buck!

22" main beams, 19" G2's, 9" G3's, 9" G4's 3" browtines, 22" mass per side, 18" inside spread.

(Obviously, these numbers are rough, but I don't have the sheet in front of me and this is pretty close to how it measured up.)

It is deceiving because the G4's branch off further forward than most bucks so it looks like the fronts are smaller than they are.

He has great mass and tine length, and that is what really adds up.

Thanks for looking guys. It was a great hunt and a great memory. Can't wait to see all your successes too.

Now if my wife can be as lucky on her La Sal muzzy elk hunt in a few weeks...

What a fantastic first buck! Bucks like that are hard to come by with a bow, especially. Good for you buddy.
