Late buck
« on: December 13, 2012, 07:47:49 PM »
Well here's my late mission buck and after seeing the zoo around cashmere the week prior to the season  I decide to stay high and catch the migration. Guess what it didn't happen tell last week the big buck are crossing Hwy 97 as I post. I back packed into the wilderness boundary for three day and just couldn't get into the deer I wanted to kill or pack out. Day four I came down to a spot that I spotted  a few local doe's and a couple good bucks just no shooters earlier in the season, well with fog,snow and lack of time and possibility of a  mass migration I decided on this buck. I'm happy but still a little disappointed on the potential this tag could of produced.

Great buck!
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

Great buck! Sounds like you gave it all you had and that's what makes a trophy a trophy no matter the score. But that's not a buck you have to justify hanging your tag on to anybody, good solid buck
