Beav rides again. One of them hunt thread thingies

[Cam@strawberry]

I drew me one of them LE late muzz tags. At 33 years old it’s my 3rd LE hunt, since you all like these tag along threads I figured I like attention, and we can get together for some fun ?.

I’m not itching to kill a buck and probably will hold out for something better than my current best (160”).

I’m also not much for hunting deer TBH, but I’ve seen a handful of decent deer while I’ve been out hunting elk this year. This is probably the best buck I glassed up and is pretty close to fitting the bill for what I’m looking for.

 

[deerlevi]

Looks like a good one! Good luck

 

[twdjr]

Good luck on your hunt! Nice looking deer in the video!

 

[shootem]

Looks to be a lot better than you’re best buck to date (160”). Get it done, post pics of whatever buck you do get.

 

[hawkbill]

Have fun and enjoy yourself

 

[Cam@strawberry]

Out messing around today seeing a handful of decent deer like this one. Catching a bit of rut action starting up. This deer hunting stuff isn’t bad really, lots easier compared to elk ?

 

[Blackie6]

Good luck on your hunt. I tried to do one of these threads for an elk hunt this year and had to report back on my lack of success ?. Can’t wait to see what you find!

 

[elkhunterUT]

Hope you shoot a monster!! Good luck??

 

[Cam@strawberry]

Pretty standard morning for what I expected given the weather, saw 6 bucks one 20” 4x4, minimal rut and a decent bull moose. Gonna see what visibility does for us this afternoon and make a plan once the weather gives me a better idea

Wow, now if I can find one like that on my hunt.

 

[Cam@strawberry]

Man, a little lost right now for this. First off, probably the luckiest day I’ll ever have. Just everything fell into place. About noon we got a phone call from a family friend telling us one of his employees had seen a big deer and wondered if we knew anyone with a tag. Apparently we did ?. We were able to catch up with the guy on his way back from Vernal and he showed us where he had seen the deer. When he passed by the deer had topped over the rise and he had just gotten a glimpse but knew it was pretty good. As luck would have it the buck had come back over to this side and he glassed him up in his bed. The snow started in earnest right as we set up and I got some video that let us know he was definitely a good deer.

Not ideal conditions obviously. The deer was on a small piece of private property and we began the process of seeing if we could track down the owner and contact. Through sheer dumb luck and about 100 calls we did.

The storm had set in in earnest and we were unable to locate the deer for the bulk of the afternoon. At about 5:30 the storm let up to give us 600 yard vis or so and we started finding deer in the brush. At 6 we caught a glimpse of him moving and I took off to get into a shooting position. He came out perfectly at 300 yards and then put some brush between himself and me. I was able to cut the distance down to 100 yards and get a good shot on him.

He went about 100 yards and nose dived into the snow. Just like that it was over. This deer far exceeds my hopes for the hunt, I had my dad with me who is 1 year removed from a heart attack while hunting elk in Nevada this week. Just a special deal all around.

I haven’t taped him, but we did run one to see he gets that magic 30” number on the nose. I think he should land somewhere right close to ‘the number’. Absolutely grateful from top to bottom to the guys I get to hunt with and the effort we all put into having these kinds of experiences together.

Great buck Cam!! Congrats.

[Uttaxi1]

Sweet buck, congrats on a fine deer

 

[scopenstalk]

Holy crap cameron. That’s a big buck! Good job man !

 

[elkassassin]

Well BEAV?

How's it Feel To Take a Buck of The NON-PISSCUTTER Type?

I Wish Somebody Would Tell Me Where There's a 30"ER!

Nice Job!

 

[elkassassin]

One More Thing BEAV!

That Weapon Doesn't Look Like a HAWKENS!

That a Scope?

 

[Elknut33]

Way to go Beav! That's a great buck.

 

[257Tony]

Congrats on a super awesome Buck. That one will be tough to beat for sure!

 

[elkhunterUT]

That is the perfect buck - congrats on a monster!!! Looks like you ate a fair bit of snow there

 

[Vanilla]

What a buck! Congrats.

 

[Cam@strawberry]

Thanks guys, I ran a tape this morning and got 201.25”. Admittedly so, I am generous and always err on the side of the animal with questions about where to start a tine or webbing. I believe if they grew it they get credit for it.

Couple bits, MB 23/22.5” mass 37” inside 25”. 2’s were both 18”+ outside was 30”

 

[scopenstalk]

hah I told my dad this morning that it was 202-205..... that's a sweet buck. Ol Bob sends his congrats.

 

[fstop]

Love it Cam. I could hear the excitement in your voice last night when you called as you dragged him out. Pretty cool you got to share it with the old man and Clarke. They definitely had a scary moment last year.

 

[LIK2HNT]

Great buck. The pictures in the snow storm add to the adventure

 

[Zeke]

So awesome for you BB!!!
Excellent trophy regardless of the real score....which I'm sure you're not too far off.

I too always err on the side of the animal (loose tape), hahahaha.

[Bigwiffy]

What a buck! Thanks for sharing!

The taxi got 202.5” so I guess I wasn’t as liberal as I thought ?

 

[257Tony]

I've got a late muzzy tag myself, heading out tomorrow and going to hunt till the end. The image of your buck in the snow will definitely help me get out of bed and brave the cold, just hoping and looking for that one special buck!

 

[sjhgraysage]

Great looking buck!
Congrats!
I'm a little jealous ?

 

[Houndsman77]

Congrats ol friend way to get it done.thanks for sharing

 

[hawkbill]

Congratulations on a great Buck

Congrats on a great buck

 

[yoteduster]

Way to go berryb..congrats... no matter what or where that buck beats the heck out of a 350 bull..imo

I would rather have the bull. But the buck would still make me happy

 

[Cam@strawberry]

This is just unequivocally false

 

[oilcan]

Awesome Buck Cameron congrats

 

[JakeH]

This is just unequivocally false

No way, that deer is a unicorn. If he had said a 400 bull then you are in the same realm of comparison, but that deer is definitely better than killing a 350 bull.

I hope we all follow along again?

Agree

 

[Gator]

Heck he is a great buck. Awesome weather

 

[BearCub]

Awesome deer. Thanks for letting us follow along.

 

[BradA]

Heck yeah that’s an awesome buck! Congratulations on a stud. I hope to one day break that 200 inch mark, and mule deer are better then elk especially this buck.

 

[PleaseDear]

Oh Yeah!



Congrats
