UNIT 32 SUCCESS "EL MACHO SCORES"

[jdbuck1]

LAST EDITED ON Nov-26-02 AT 11:44AM (MST)[p]MY HUNT IN 32 WAS A OVERALL SUCCESS. AS YOU ALL KNOW THE NOV. SEASON WAS A WINDY ONE. WE PRETTY MUCH BATTLED THE WIND EVERYDAY.THE FIRST MORNING ENDED UP BEING MY BEST OPPORTUNITY AT A GOOD BUCK. HE WAS IN MY ESTIMATION A STRONG CANDIDATE IN THE 90" CLASS. HE WAS ANGLING DOWN AT A GOOD CLIP AT ABOUT 400 YDS. I CHOSE TO PASS ON THE SHOT ANTICIPATING HIM ENTRING ANOTHER CLEARING 50 YDS FURTHER DOWN. HE APPEARED TO BE SLOWING DOWN WHICH WAS WORKING IN MY FAVOR. I AM VERY CONFIDENT IN MY SHOOTING ABILITY AND WAS PREPARED FOR A LONG SHOT. THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED. I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA AND THE CANYON I WAS IN COULD BE REACHED BY OTHER HUNTERS BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HIKE. WELL IT HAPPENED A YOUNG GUY WAS KICKING EVERY ROCK HE COULD FIND AND WAS WALKING INSTEAD OF GLASSING AT 30 MIN AFTER SUNRISE. WELL THE BUCK IMMEDIATLEY TURNED IT INTO HIGH GEAR AND BOLTED DOWN THE CANYON. THE HUNTER MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME THEN UNBELIEVABLY DECIDED TO WALK RIGHT BELOW ME,THEN UP THE CANYON.I JUST SHOOK MY HEAD IN DISBELIEF. THE PLUS SIDE IS ON MY WAY BACK TO CAMP I FOUND AN IMPRESSIVE SHED CLOSE TO 50". LAST YEARS DROP TO BOOT.MY FRIEND MARK aka EL MACHO HERE ON MM TOOK A NICE BUCK THAT WILL SCORE IN THE MID 80'S. HE HAD THE CARMA WORKING FOR HIM. HE HAD SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES AT BUCKS IN THE 80'S AND 90'S BEFORE TAKING HIS. I WILL POST PHOTOS AS SOON AS I CAN. I ENJOYED THE HUNT THOUROUGHLY AND CAN'T WAIT TO BE IN THAT COUNTRY NEXT YEAR.ONE THING FOR SURE IS I WILL BE SPORTING THE 15X60 SWAROVSKI'S NEXT YEAR. I WAS UNDER GLASSED WITH THE 10X. I WILL BE BREAKING THE CENTURY MARK NEXT YEAR.
ALLEN(BURA NUT) GOOD LUCK IN MEXICO. I ENVY YOU MAN.
SCOTT(SNIPER) LET US KNOW HOW YOU DID AND CHECK YOUR MESSAGES.

JD: Glad you had a great time. I know it sucks when someone kinda messes up your opportunity, but it happens. Glad to hear El Macho did good. I think you are wise to get the 15x's, there is no comparison when glassing longer distances. I hope I have a big one to post a picture of from Mexico. I have the bug bad, and gotta get one this year..... Allen......
