this is my first general unit buck and second buck I have shot. I was hunting the central region here in Utah and it wasnt going so well. I started my hunt on opening morning and it was really tough. There were hunters everywhere and there didnt seem to be any deer any where. So I hunted all day saturday and then Sunday morning. I had only seen 6 does in my first two days and I wasnt too happy. I decided to head home sunday afternoon and try my luck again on monday. So this morning comes and I struggle to get out of bed. I finally make my self get up and get moving and by this time its about 7:00 am. I was mad at myself for getting a late start. I get on the road and get to the spot I was going to try for the day. It's about 7:35 when I start down the trail I was going in on. after slowly walking down the trail for about 200 yards I hear something moving in the trees about 40 yards away. I get my binos up and there are two young bucks feeding, still unaware of my presence. I watch them for about 1 to 2 minutes and decided to take the better of the two based on what I had seen the previous 2 days. He dropped right in his tracks. I was way excited, I finally got a deer that wasnt on a limited entry unit. I was by myself and it was quite a bit of work getting him back to the truck. He was my same weight field dressed. It was a great morning.
he would have been a 2 X 3 but he had broken his tyne on his right side.
