Got my High Country Buck

[born_2_hunt]

I found this buck back in July. I posted a video of him asking if he would break the 180" mark. No one thought he would. I thought he'd be pretty close.

Here he is in July

Here he is the day I found him on the 3rd day of season.

Its hard to see from the pics but it is the same buck. He did LOTS of growing in August.

I found him right at daylight on Monday morning. He was about a quarter mile away. I put the stalk on him and got within 100 yds of where I last saw him. He never showed himself and beat me to his bedding area. Although I did not see where he went I had a pretty good idea.

We started glassing about 3pm and after finding a bunch of other deer I was beginning to think I was hallucinating that morning. Finally he appeared after glassing for an hour.

After watching him bed while a hail storm rolled in the stalk was on. I slipped in to 60yds with the help of my brother signaling me to him I smoked him!

I taped him out last night at 32" wide and 187" gross!

Congrats great Buck and he definitely grew a bunch especially in his back forks.

Way to go! Wide, heavy, deep forks with an extra thrown in. What more could you ask for??

Were you hunting in 67? My brother and I have both killed bucks in 67 that had that extra point on one side. Maybe the same genetics?

Waygoner, 67 doesn't have an early timberline rifle hunt.

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

Great buck and good use of points. How many did you burn?

 

[Snoopdogg]

Nicely done!

Quality buck and an even better story. I always appreciate it more when someone scouts a buck, then goes back and takes him. Congrats to you on your great success.

Nice buck, congratulations!

I remember reading about 4 or 5 units that have this early rifle hunt. Have any more been added? About how many points are needed for a NR?

I burned 4 points, definitely worth it.

Good looking Buck, He put on some horn for sure. Kind looks like the HC area.
