Just watched your latest video, as alway look forward to your hunts. Your style, and hunts appear to closely resemble my own. Broken neck and all. Bummer, but awesome Dedication, all the best to a speedy recovery. Anyway Good luck, Hope you make it back up and connect on the big one.

Cant post reply's to the Hunt Adventure Challenge but wanted to give you a shout out here Brian. Your hardcore man, mixing it up in the high country with all that competition with a broken neck! Cant get them all, but your effort has obviously paid off for you in the past, and it will pay off for you again in the future. Heal up, get better, and give em' hell next year. I cant wait to see your videos again next season, better then any show on TV.

Agreed! Good stuff for sure! My on complaint is that you've gotten much tighter with your editing. Early on I could catch glimpses and recognize which drainage you were in. Not any more

Can't blame you with a buck like that running around. Bad deal on the backcountry thief! What a POS!

I've had some tough luck the past few years. I thought this year it would come together, not so so far. I need to get back up there and get after it. Not sure the buck is still kicking, but probably.
Thanks guys for the encouragement.

Hope you make it back out here to Wyoming and get that buck. I hope the idiot who messed with your stuff wasn't a local boy. He needs a serious whuppin. Loved the video, makes one feel the experience. I swear I could feel and smell the moisture of that weather.

Any updates??

Brian, I met you while you were hunting in your neck brace this year and you are obviously hard core, but you seem like a really nice, down to earth guy. I admire your hard work, dedication and persistence, and with all the time and effort you spend scouting and hunting, you deserve to score big.

However, it seems to me that with all the scouting you do, you should have more than one good buck located so you don't have all your eggs in one basket, and a leaky bucket at that on the years that you spend multiple days hunting for a particular deer and then find out that it was already dead during most of the time you were hunting it. What a bummer.

People who would steal gear from a high country camp are way lower than pond scum and should be stripped of any and all rights to ever leave the city or step off a paved road. Same thing for those that take a getto blaster to a hunting camp in the mountains and totally annoy anyone within a mile that is there to enjoy the peace and quiet and being away from all the noise and garbage of civilization.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-02-15 AT 08:57AM (MST)[p]Thanks man. I tried to find other bucks to fall back on, but bucks of the caliber of the one I was hunting are extremely rare. Plus, I'm a little different than many hunters, especially in Wyoming. Part of the challenge is the scouting and finding something really special, but another part is the challenge of hunting that "one" buck. I just get my sights set and that's my goal and anything less I want to avoid. With that said, this year I made sure I scouted the south end so I had an Oct. 1st option. I did find a droptine buck down there, but didn't go hunt that one.
That buck I found is a beast and if there's a chance he's alive, he's the one I need to be hunting if I can make it up there. I have absolutely no problem not harvesting a buck. I'm ok with that. I want to be successful taking the "one" I set my sights on.
That big one is a 205-210" whopper. The next biggest buck I found in WY this year might have gone 190" at best. Big difference. You know? I'll find 190" bucks in the future. 200"+ bucks are few and far between.

Yes, the gear theif is slime. Really unfortunate. I've never had things stolen on the mountain before. It's crazy, because after that on numerous occasions I returned to camp checking everything to see if it was all there. One night I got back and my horse was not tied where I thought I tied him. For 3 seconds my heart dropped thinking some jackass had let him loose. I quickly realized I tied him at another tree. Just sucks how it changes you when criminals get you.

BTW bugleb you impressed the heck out of me.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-02-15 AT 02:27PM (MST)[p]These are the 2 bucks I saw near the locations of your buck in 2014. This was the best picture I could get. I'm pretty sure one of these 2 bucks is your buck from 2015. We never made an attempt at them in 2014. Add a year to either and they would match the one your after this year.

This one was 30+ and had several cheaters.

This one just looked nice.

30-35 years ago the odds of drawing a Wyoming non-res deer tag were about 50-50. Back then, we could hardly afford enough time off work to hunt, let alone time to scout, but we could usually count on seeing at least one 200" gross monster each year. Mostly 1-2 miles away with darkness closing in.

You are right, they are as scarce as hen's teeth nowadays.

I hope you get the big one this year. If not, he might be there again and even bigger next year.

SAD there are even JACK-ASSES in the High Country!

My Advice(And I've said it for years now!)is start setting a Trail Cam or two in Camp!

Ya,I know it's hard to pack extra gear clear back in there,just sayin..............!

Go Ahead!

Make Me take it down!
