I have hunted Colorado for a number of years and this was hands-down the worst I have seen. I have been putting my father in for points only for the past 13 years and at the age of 67 I figured it was time to draw him out and go hunt. We drew 3rd season, unit 22 and I could not have been more...

After 12 years of applying, my dad drew a 22, 3rd season deer tag and I am looking for any help I can get. I've been putting him in for 12 years now and we deiced to go all-in on this tag. He's 67 years old and this may very well be his last chance to get a good buck. We're hoping for a fun and...

Has anyone hunted this unit in the past that would be willing to help a guy out? I burned a decade of points to pull this tag and really want to do all I can to stack the deck in my favor. Ive started calling a few people that have hunted this unit in the past, trying to get as much info as I...

Great points @lostinOregon. I agree that the folks out there that can do what these two guys did are the exception to the rule and just because you can buy a rifle that shoots "1000 yards out of the box" does not mean the hunter can shoot a 1000 yards. I also agree with the rage being more about...

I can tell you boys have put a lot of time practicing shooting at long range distances. I have no issue at all with guys like you who know their equipment, have put in the time and can MAKE those shots with confidence. IMO both deer were taken ethically and I tip my hat off to you for making...

That was fun Jake. I appreciate you letting us take a second stab at the score. I would have been eating some real crow had you not! Fever

I would like to retract my earlier score please and submit a new one (-: I am now going to say 184". Better angle showing off the size of his frame and main beams. Heck of a buck. Fever

Great buck but he is no where close to 180. I would say high 160's MAYBE low 170's. Heck of a buck though especially with archery gear. Fever

Very cool! With a bow none the less! Cool footage and an exceptional antelope. Well done and congrats again. Fever

4.5 to 5.5 years old would be my guess. That buck looks young to me. Great buck though! Fever

Hunted the Wasatch for 10 straight day with my father on his Muzzleloader LE tag. Couldn't agree more the original poster. Never saw a herd bull with more than 7 cows! Contrast that to he LE hunt I went on with my a good friend of mine on a LE down south and each herd bull had 20+ cows with...

Yep, 315 - 320" would be my guess. Cool bull Fever

I appreciate the input guys. Ive been at this game now for quite some time and have never seen anything like this.......little blood, foaming at the mouth, bedding down 200 yards from where he was shot.....anyway, sounds like it was a gut shot. Makes sense. We looked all day and could not turn...

My dad just shot a bull with his muzzleloader at 148 yards. After the smoke cleared we were not able to tell where, exactly, we had hit the bull. My brother watched him bed down across the canyon from us through his spotter. He traveled down hill only 250 yards after being hit and bedded in a...

Well thought I would report back on what I ended up doing....after reading the post here and talking with a few folks a went with the Divorski ATX 85mm (angled). I have used it several times now out at the range sighting in my dads smoke pole for his up coming elk hunt. I had an STS for years...
