Plus the summer range has been nuked the past three years in a row. However in the future that range should be able to carry more deer. Just to bad they never rebound very fast or at all. However I'm still seeing deer way way up valley.

You did share the story with him, and the hunt. He was with you every step.

Congratulations on a beautiful animal, and thank you for sharing the hunt with us as well.

This is probably going to be all you will see as far as migration. Too many special permits and it doesn't help with the does being shot. Congrats on your deer.

Thanks everyone, it was a great week with the family. Here is a photo of me with "the pink hat". My wife used to give a tshirt away for big deer each year. One year she said no tshirt this year, it's a hat. Then she unveils the pink women's hat assuming she was going to win. Well she didn't and the hat became a traveling trophy. Each year since big deer in camp wins "the pink hat" for the year. You sign it with initials and the year. Five years now I have come in second. Four of those deer were bigger than this years.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Great buck and thanks for sharing.

"With as tough as the hunting was for everyone in camp I believe he was looking down and helping out. There is no reason I would think to go back to where it started but I just had a feeling to go back. Glad to have this one behind me. Life goes on, miss you dad and thanks for sending me back uphill."

I had an experience like this (not hunting) exactly one year after my brother passed. More than ten years later, I absolutely know it was not my imagination, it was a message.

That's a cool tradition.   :tup:

Lots of family traditions in camp. My wife's family has been going there since the seventies. This year was a low turnout but there was 8 hunters and 9 non hunters in camp. We take everything out of our wall tent for thanksgiving dinner and have a huge feast in the tent. Turkey, ham and all the fixings get cooked in camp between all the trailers and motorhome ovens.
Here is a pic of camp.
