My 06 Late Buck

[MuskegMan]

I drew a late deer tag in the guided draw (had 6pts and this was the 3rd choice) for area 06 (NW of Elko) in Nevada. I flew down from AK to hunt the last 5 days of this hunt (Nov 1-5) as I wanted to catch some of the rut activity. The first winter storm of the season rolled in the day after Halloween, and I was able to harvest my first decent muley the day after it snowed (Nov. 2) in the mountains. Saw shooter bucks every day and had a close encounter with a bigger buck on the morning the storm moved in. My buck was guarding his harem of 13 does. Hunting with a lifelong Elko area guide and getting weather were big plusses. Buck is right around 175".

"Who were you hunting with?"

Gotta give credit where credit is due - Dave Gowen. He just got his master guide license, but was guiding for another outfitter who put me in the draw under his license (G&J).

Congrats on a good buck. Hopefully it doesn't take another 3 years to draw.

Cancer doesn't discriminate...don't take your good health for granted because it can be gone in a heartbeat. Please go back and read the last line. This time really understand what it says.
