Way to go man!   That's a great buck!  Thanks for taking the time to write the story for us.

Awesome blacktail :tup:
When I was younger it was all about filling my tag. The sooner the better. Now for me it's about getting a mature buck. The longer that takes the better. In 2011 I decided i was only shooting big/mature bucks for the same reasons you did.  Since then I get one about every other year. Last year I had my favorite hunting season yet, and didn't fill my tag. Had plenty of opportunities,  but nothing I wanted to end my season on.
  Great write up also.

  definitely agree its not just about filling a tag anymore for me its all about the hunt and the adventure and the cat and mouse games one plays with a wise old buck, the ones you usually comes out on the short end of the stick more times than not.... lol

Its about time you finally got some meat in the freezer I thought you would be getting tired of tag soup by now. :chuckle:

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
