Good guesses so far! Hate to leave you hanging, but really enjoying your comments.
I will share a bit of the story with you...
This is one of my dads best friends and he has been hunting with my dad for the last 30 years. I have been having him, my dad (see photo's posted on "fathers day contest"--by Rando), and my brother build points for the last two years with the idea that we would go to a unit that I have been going to every year (with landowner voucher occasionally) since 2002. My group of pals have always gone 3rd season, and I thought I would try 2nd season with this crew.
At the last minute another one of my good buddies(Todd) who has been going since '02 also, decided to join us as he has grown up with me hunting under my dads tutoring...and the two of us spending a lot of time helping my dad tutor my younger brother. Todd just couldn't imagine my brother making an out of state hunting trip without him there to enjoy it to and my dad is like a second dad to him. Todd and I gave up our NV unit 17 mule deer tags to make this work and Todd bought an OTC bull tag.
My dad had warned me that his buddy would probably shoot the first buck he sees (big or small) as he really enjoys helping out everyone else...so when I heard his five shots ring out around 8am on opening morning I made the assumption that he shot a small buck. He confirmed it with me when he told me on the radio to take my time and finish my hunt "cuz he killed a small one".
An hour and a half later I showed up in his canyon and the celebration began!
He was truly one of the most excited hunters I have ever seen. I believe he has one buck that scores better, but this one was his first 30+"er and it was a special buck on a special hunt!
Three hours later we had the buck caped out and pack framed to the truck with the help of my 72 year old dad. Todd and my brother were several miles away in a separate canyon where Todd was focusing on finding my brother a shooter buck...
We were supposed to have a radio check in at 11, and when they never heard from us they knew something was up.
"Unfortunately", at 12:15, a trophy bull (for OTC, Public land) showed himself across the canyon from Todd and he hammered him! I say "unfortunately" because pack #2 of the day (and caping in the field) began around 1:30 and wasn't complete until 7 that night! Thank goodness my 29 year old brother was there for 3 pack trips out before we all made the 4th and final trip together.
The bull scored 328 and the buck scored....
I will check back in tomorrow and give you the bucks score!
Looking forward to hearing a few more guesses as no one has nailed it yet.
Thanks for letting me share the pics and the story!
