The Saddlebag Buck

MDQ · Jun 14, 2021

I gave up on the couple magazines who said they were going to publish this story & put it up on my blog.

My boy had a late deer tag in Idaho a couple years ago and got a great buck. As good as the buck was, the way it all came together was even more noteworthy...

The Saddlebag Buck

Everything happens for a reason – that’s a theory I’ve never believed. When it comes to hunting, I’ve always subscribed to the “outwit, outwork, out persist your prey” approach. Once in a while tho…

Very nice! The reason they finally got it done was I renewed my subscription. When they found out you and I were buddies, they got right on it!!??

Ok, here's one more crazy part of the saddlebag buck story that I just learned. The moose hunter who sent the pic of the buck to Ryan (the guy who sent the pic to me) - made the saddlebags for Ryan!!

I couldn't make this stuff up!
