Here is a buck I shot on Saturday. 31" including cheaters ;-)
Not a bad body considering he was estimated to be only 4.5yrs old.
I shot him on the third day of my two week hunt. A good friend was with me.
My friend Roland.
The stalk took about an hour and a half. The shot was longer than most, but a high shoulder hit had a large piece of the bullet travel up the spine almost to the base of his skull for an immediate finish. The pack out was only about a mile with 80lbs of horn, cape, meat, and gear thanks to some help from Roland.
Now I bird and cow elk hunt for a few days, then take my friend Roland and my three sons to N Idaho so they can chase whitetails while I cook!
