Colorado Buck

Just got back from my third season Colorado hunt, despite the nice weather and a lot of hunters I was able to take this buck on the fifth day of the hunt. He is a little over 28 inches wide and has a little cheater that you can't see in the picture. Fortunately, I passed on two smaller bucks in the morning before coming across him. Spotted him about 1/2 mile away and was able to get within 350 yards before pulling the trigger.
 
Here is the pic, I was in unit 52. Hunting was tough with 70 degree weather just about everyday.

Great looking buck! Congrats! I wish I would have seen a buck like that during my 3rd season tag. I ended up taking a 4x4. Not big buck but big enough for me. I was chasing a bigger one about 160ish but he gave me the slip twice.
 
LAST EDITED ON Nov-21-12 AT 02:23PM (MST)[p]That is a nice buck. And I understand about the weather. We saw one nice buck opening day (in 68) and wifey decided to take it. Good thing as that was the only good buck we saw all season. This year was just not right.
 
I hunt with a fella who has a real weakness for eye guards, so I guess you get a passing grade! Nice heavy animal.
