Yes sir, it was a Nov. 10-24 draw area here in Idaho. Funny thing is no one even wants the area much because every year it has a regular deer & elk season with bow & then rifle opens in Oct & ends in early Nov. Shortly after this season opens & there usually aren't any bigger ones to go around because of the pressure it gets. I put in for it because there are fewer hunters then & was looking for a 150"-160" deer, lord knows I never dreamed of something like the one we took! Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, right time right place! Thanks!

If I were to dream up a perfect antler configuration for a muley; elknut1 your buck would be him!  That's a buck your great grandkids will be bragging about.  Congrats.

Congrats on a stud of a buck!  :tup: :tup: Nothing better than making memories like that with the ones you love.
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

This is my Buck Of A Lifetime guys! It was taken this year in Idaho DIY Public Land hunt. My son & I were together when we glassed this guy up, that in itself was special to me. The icing on the cake was this guy is a bruiser, neither of us had a clue how big he was until we made our way over to him, you can see the country is steep & rugged but it was all worth it! I don't think I'll ever top him but I'd like to see my son do it! (grin) It's a hunt the two of us will never forget! Thanks for looking!

Wow. What a buck! What a memory! Congrats.
