Hey sorry it took me forever to tell you the story.
first off it took me 8 years to finally draw the tag(5 in the wheel-chair). i've been hunting since i was born and this is by far my biggest buck and one of the funnest i've been on. we put on about 2500 miles over a 9 day span covering the north and south sides of the book cliffs. we actually ran into this buck on the first day of hunting the south but decided to wait because it was the first buck we seen. after a few more days of hunting we figured he was the best buck we had seen. after trying to track him down for a few more days we ran into him on the way back to camp around 11am. he was in the tallest thickest brush down there and we could only see his horns. we watched him for about a 1000 yards until he made his way into a small opening in the brush which is where i dropped the hammer. he was at about a 100 yards and only made it about 30 more after the shot. thanks to my dad, bro-in-law, dads friend and the 7mm short mag we were able to down this 5x6 beauty.
