Watched this buck for a minute before the fog rolled in and he disappeared. Not a shooter. This day was really weird because there was know wind but the thermals had the fog moving quickly.

Love seeing guys hunting off a sled! See many deer up in area high enough to actually run the machine?
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Few buddies hunted the Late Swakane archery. Saw a fair amount of does but very few bucks and those they did see were immature.

gls, you must have talked with my brother. I only had a couple days to hunt due to work so I shot the first buck that met my two day hunt expectations. I saw a bunch of little bucks before I spotted this one. Spotted from 800+ yards, looked him over with spotting scope with my brother in a lawn chair for a while and took him with a neck shot at 200 yards in the fog. My brother hunted hard and passed on a couple nice bucks including 3x4 he figured would hit 170 mark but went home with an un-notched tag. We both saw a ton of deer.

Who cares about the hunter orange!! That's an awesome buck congrats on him hes got great character. At least you guys were able to see some animals. Sure its nice to get a fine buck but its more about the experience at least for me. :tup:

That’s the only  decent one on my phone but I’ll get one off my computer later. It was a great experience. Tons of deer, drinks around a campfire in the snow, etc. The fog really limited the ability to glass and he does have character. He’s had two stickers on his right base but had busted one off. He also had been gored down to bone in his right hindquarter recently by another buck but I didn’t lose too much meat. It was a really fun, challenging, text book spot and stalk and he was surrounded on all sides by over a dozen does. My brother doesn’t take the best field pics and it’s a better buck than the pic shows. If I had the time I would have passed but between the fog and time constraints I asked myself “will he go on the wall of shame or on the wall inside?” The answer was inside on the wall so I pulled the trigger and glad I did because it fogged back in for the rest of the day and all of the next day.

Well you did the tag justice. Other parts of that permit are tough areas to hunt. There are some real big boys that will hole up until its a$$ deep regardless of the does.
