2016 Public Land Archery Success

LAST EDITED ON Sep-11-16 AT 09:48PM (MST)[p]I had a successful opening morning here in Utah, I shot this buck at 55 yards out of my treestand after watching him most of the morning. I climbed into my stand at 6:00 AM and right away I had 4 small bucks come walking through, they walked right underneath me and continued traveling to the North. About 20 minutes later I heard some noise and noticed that they had joined up with 3 other bucks - this buck being one of them. I watched them feed and then bed down, then they would feed for a little while and bed back down, I wanted to climb out of my stand and try to put a stock on him since he was only 113 yards from me, but I made the decision to stay put and see if he would walk my direction. Finally a little after 10:00 AM he walked my way and gave me an opportunity. As I watched my arrow hit the mark, I was pumped! I couldn't be more happy with this buck.

Wow- a 170" buck on a general tag with a bow is awesome..!! He's so symmetrical and heavy, I think he has everything most of us look for in a nice buck... Thanks for sharing..!!

Thanks for all the comments. I can't wait to get back out in a few weeks to take my 13 year old daughter on her first Mule Deer hunt, she says that her goal is to shoot one bigger than me. I told her that she has no idea how happy that would make me if she did.
