Thanks for the kudos. We hunted by the seat of our pants a bit - I had never been in to this spot before. Very big, steep country. The weather was perfect - snow showers, brief clearings, etc. Everytime the weather broke, the deer were in the high meadows feeding. The pack out was ridiculous - 5500' down to the trailhead, and 10 miles. I have a sturdy hunting partner, and now I owe him a favor!
I spooked the deer I was really after when I shot this one. The other was a ~22" 4x4 with decent mass and deep forks. This guy was dumb enough to present himself after I had bombed way up a steep slope after the other one and got hosed by the changing wind.
