So Wyoming had to be mentally the toughest hunt i have done in a long time. Looking over 200 bucks in 4 days without one being what i believe was 6 years old or older. Day 5 i was with my dad and brother and we had rode into a walk in area on horseback about 3 miles. I spotted this old 29 inch 3 point and decided he was the one. I closed the gap to 600 yards and made a good shot!
Utah gave me 2 days to hunt muzzle loader and i made the best out of it. I headed for some good high country and was met by a snow storm with my wife! We headed for some pines to try to stay dry and i found this typical across the canyon from us. A quick look revealed he was a good enough buck for me and i made a good shot through the thick mahoganies.
Idaho opening day was very disappointing. Day before the hunt i located a 180 buck that was so pretty. I bumped him very early in the morning and he ran to some lucky hunters! I spent the rest of the day covering miles and developed a plan for day two to go explore some low country. I hiked most of the day and ran into this good buck and made a quick 400 yard shot on him! So happy to have killed all of these bucks and i am so grateful to be able to hunt these animals.
