non typical on wasatch front

[tacticalbowhunter]

Does anyone have any pics of a buck that was out on the front that was a 7 by 8 or something like that. He had a big hook cheater on his left side. I hit him 2 times but he still made it down into the houses and lost the blood trail on the pavement. I have been trying to get ahold of the game warden in the area to see if it has been called in but no answer or call back for 2 weeks. Alot of guys were after him so just hopeing someone might have a pic of him on the hoof. Judgeing him on the hoof around 207 or so. Thanks ps hit him on nov 29th and have been looking for him almost everyday with no luck.

one guy responded he got a pic of him the day i shot him so hopefully he sends it to me. I actually wish he made it to but there is no way. I hit him twice and in all three beds he layed in there was blood all over. Im sure he piled up in some lucky guys backyard. But i ended up shooting a nice 6 point bull on dec 15th up on the wasatch.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-28-10 AT 03:59PM (MST)[p]Just want to know if you were north of city creek. Saw a big rack that was taken from that area that scored 204ish. Was only about 22" wide.

Post the pics when you get them. Curious to see what he looks like. Let's see your bull pics too!

I dunno, its stories like this that gets the Front closer to being taken away from us. Yes there are monster bucks close to homes, but come on guys. Use some judgement, and think about the rest of us before you put 2 bad shots on a buck close to homes!!

i promis you zrider you would'nt have pasted on either shot. I waited and waited for him to give me a clear shot for hours. I passed lots of (risky) shots on this deer. But unfortunatly it is bowhunting and they dont always drop in there tracks. And unfortunaly when an animal is hit good it runs strait downhill. And the rich and famous want there houses higher and higher on the mountain so the deer are forced to live around houses when its that late in the season. If you have never lost an animal then you probably just havent bowhunted for all that long.

I have lost an animal, and commend you for still being after the buck. I will say I'm frustrated with the homeowners that are higher and higher on the mountains. That said no matter how big of a buck sometimes for the sake of the rest of us its just better not to hunt that close to homes. Kinda seems selfish to put my (and my kids) wasatch front hunting future on the line. It is a very fragile situation that we all need to realize that 1 bad decision can ruin it for everyone. That was a good looking bull by the way congrats on that!

It was about a 1500 feet above the house line where everyone else hunts. He was just pushed down by being wounded and other hunters chaseing him. It was just bad situation
