All the more reason to wait and post your success yourself, instead of false heresay posted by others apparently in the know.

He turned down a bunch of 28 in. bucks.. something like 14 in one day.
First off had a great time and had a lot of help from a lot of people so thanks for that. We did see the over 30 buck but he got into the fog on us and we did see several 5 points and we did pass on a thin horned 28 inch buck all because we had seen a 6x6 over 30 buck we were after we spotted it bedded in an alphalpa field at 3 in the afternoon the day before season. We tried for him each morning but he was an afternoon buck we hunted with Dick Hemore from Mar Don and we went through so many No Tresspassing and keep out and leased land signs it made you dizzy but he knows everyone and has a track record for seeing the big one. It was just my Grandson Kyle and Dick and I he saw several bucks he said were shooters that we passed on because we just wanted that one buck the deer we saw that was so big my grandson said thers a guy with a white coat on and it was early morning then Dick said a white coat hold it hey thats a buck. And it was a really big buck one of the biggest I have ever seen but by the time we got ready he walked into the fog we came back when it lifted and pushed the hill and saw about 35 deer with several nice bucks. Dick said we should try for the big one by the field so we put Kyle on the fence line at 3;30 and we went to glass some other area the fence line bordered a game refuge with alphalpa on one side refuge on the other. While doing that my wife called and my chocalate lab captain who was 14 passed away in the yard and nobody was around to help so I called and told Kyle we had to leave tonight. Anyway just before dark 3 does and a small buck came into the field down from wher Dick positioned him and instead of staying he started sneeking toward them when he turned around he saw a buck in the field behind him and thought it was the big buck it ran toward the fence and he shot knocking it down but you guessed it right into the reserve. We marked the spot and had to wait for morning. I called John and said I think we got the buck. Next morning when the fog raised we found track where it went in and saw it about 20 feet inside of the reserve. We talked to a warden and he said we could retrive it with no guns and we did. It was;nt the big one he just saw horns and thought it was him but it was a real nice 3 point 25 wide and a nice buck. Dick Hemore was a nice of guy you could ever hunt with he is 73 but just walked the legs off of Kyle and was as knowledgeable hunter as I have ever been with we enjoyed every minute of it. Again thanks to all that provided us with information and advise I thank you and to those who think I can;t judge a 30 inch buck I hope you draw the tag.

Why not just say nice buck and go with it... next time, I will get a certified and notorized statement from the Game Department, the shooter, the local anti hunters, the chipmunks and squirrels and rattlesnakes that were within earshot of the deer being shot,,, then maybe we can just say..."congrats, nice buck" and go on... until then.. you internet police make sure you keep your IP badges valid... and your computer monitor measuring devices available at all times, and bash any and every thread where an inch measurement is mentioned. Really?? Turning this around on those who see through something false, instead of saying just saying "I jumped the gun and posted a pic of a 25"er and called it over 30" and that they passed up like 14 28"ers in a one day" or better yet waiting for somebody that was in the know to post their true story. Again, sorry to interrupt the kids cool hunt and success story, but I get sick of people posting BS and turning around pointing the finger at others instead of just bucking up taking the brunt. Guess we're brought up different.
Man, everyone is so hung up on inches here.... Why not just say nice buck and go with it... next time, I will get a certified and notorized statement from the Game Department, the shooter, the local anti hunters, the chipmunks and squirrels and rattlesnakes that were within earshot of the deer being shot,,, then maybe we can just say..."congrats, nice buck" and go on... until then.. you internet police make sure you keep your IP badges valid... and your computer monitor measuring devices available at all times, and bash any and every thread where an inch measurement is mentioned.
