2020 - Two for the wall!

Bootsie13 · Oct 29, 2020

2020 was sure a fun and successful season. I was able to connect on a couple of dandy's that both gross over 180 inches. It will take a bit to eat all of the meat but I can't help but wish I had another hunt lined up!

Congrats! Those are awesome bucks!

Good work!

Both awesome bucks - congrats!!

Really nice bucks, mind sharing the states and maybe some hunt details. I enjoy hearing about others success. I’m afraid my best hunts are behind me.

Neverdrawn · Oct 29, 2020

Wow, those are a couple of dandy's! Congrats, a lot of people won't kill a buck like either of those in a lifetime, and you've killed two in a year.

Utah and Idaho. Both were backpack hunts. Idaho (tall buck) was incredible timing, after a 4 hour hike up from my base camp, I sat down to glass and not a minute later that guy was moving 100 yards below me. Utah was the result of summer scouting as I found him a month prior and killed him not 100 yards from where I had scouted him.

I did. It’s not noticeable in the picture but I shot him on what was likely 60 degree slope; he tumbled against that log and the hill still frozen from a previous snow storm. I initially attempted to cape him and got most of the way through it but as I was wrestling him around against the log it really started to damage the hide. I ultimately decided I’d I just get a cape from my taxidermist. Kinda lame, I know, but given the situation it didn’t bother me too much.

Sweet bucks! I ate tag soup this year on deer. Saw a few shooters, but never ended up with a good shot.

Shortbull56 · Oct 30, 2020

Beautiful bucks! Congrats on a great season!

huntindad4 · Oct 30, 2020

Thats awesome. As has been said above, most will hunt a lifetime and not kill one buck in that class. CONGRATS!

Thanks everyone for the kind replies! The Facebook hunting groups have become unbearable; it’s sure nice to find a community that’s complimentary of one another.
