A Sunday Drive (pics)

[passthrough]

LAST EDITED ON Dec-08-08 AT 08:09PM (MST)[p]Sunday we made our rounds, checking out the muley rut action. We saw a ton of bucks and a couple of GIANTS. The rut was in full swing and we saw deer all day.
It started out with this guy peeking over the ridge at us.

Then this guy.

Later we found the Lovebirds.

Then this guy who moved at the last second.

Finally we ran into this monster!

There was a ton of bucks that we saw that we didn't snap photos of. It was a great day, one that me and crazeymaez wont soon forget! Got to love the rut!

Which unit was the big non-typical in. Looks like a buck I saw a weeks ago.

 

[crazeymaez]

Awesome day.
You dont see a buck of that caliber very often.And to see him passing along his genes is even better

Dang I wish them big ones didnt get that dumb for the rut.I would've rather seen him alive chasing and doing his thing.Congrats to the hunter Im sure it brings alot of income into the state.Hopefully the money goes to helping such an awesome animal that we all get a chance to hunt

Isn't that monster the same one that is in the pictures of the buck got on the governors tag. It sure looks like the same buck.
