Awesome. Very cool.
Looks like you use your gear hard; what have you found for good wet weather jacket and pants?

Congrats.  Nice to read a solid hunting story about hard work and perseverance on public ground and the payoff.  Some hunters don't make excuses.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I have the Kuiu Yukon jacket and Chugach pants. Both are great but I absolutely love the Yukon jacket is hands down the bear jacket I've ever owned. Awesome rain proof jacket but as comfortable and breathable as a soft shell. I highly recommend it!!!

Great buck, story, and photos.  It's amazing how often great blacktail buck's get hit with the "benchleg" label on here.  You are a true blacktail hunter.
