I was hunting the general season, OTC tag, in an area of mixed public/private ground. Most of the private was posted "feel free to hunt". Anyway, I actually spotted this buck on the way home from an unsuccessful elk hunt, and knew that I had to come back and try to find him during the season. I was hoping to get my son a shot at the buck, but it just didn't work out for him. We hunted the area we had seen him in but found only the doe he had been running with. Kept hunting the likely looking areas and the only other hunter we saw pushed him down a sage choked draw right to us. I scored him myself at 170, and he is currently at the taxidermist.
