Ok, I was going to wait until I had the better field photos however, I am not sure when I will get those.. A friend came up to help after I killed this buck and took them on his camera. These pictures are taken off the video camera.
So, the story is.....
I hunted everyday of the hunt this year. I didn't see alot of bucks and what I was seeing were smaller deer. So thursday and friday it stormed here in Utah. Saturday morning I decided it was now or never. The rain/snow finally quit.
I went to my normal area, and started glassing as it got light. I saw alot of doe's and I knew I was seeing more deer. I decided I needed to startmoving at the top of the ridges and looking into as many as I could before the deer started to bed. One the third canyon, there was my buck. He was all alone and was moving up hill. I made a quik shot and it was true, However, he started to go deeper into the canyon and I shot once more and down he went.
Here are some of the pics. I wish I had the better pics to post here, But these will have to do. The last pic is the imfamous "phone" picture that started the rumors.
The buck score's 191. I keep reading on this site that saying "I'd rather be lucky then good". AMEN to whoever says that!
One more thing I wanted to add. I didn't draw a tag this year. I was called by a friend who had a sfw rifle deer voucher. I guess those are auctioned at the banquet and this one wasnt paid for. I bought the voucher and took it to the DWR officer and got the tag.
