Idaho deer hunt

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

So I got my Idaho regular deer tag in the mail this week.  I have been waiting to join my family on this trip since I first started hunting.  I leave oct 5th and will be there for three weeks.  I have never been able to afford this tag and feel extremely blessed to have the time and money to go this year.  I'd shoot a smaller buck the first week if i get a chance and go buy a second tag just to ensure meat. Heck I'd shoot two smaller bucks if I get the chance but I'm hoping I find a decent four point at least.  I will get good photos if nothing else and get to hunt some amazing country.

What unit?

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

A good one.  Southern ID.

[huntnphool]

A good one.  Southern ID.

But regular not permit correct?

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Yes regular deer tag.  It's a unit my family has hunted for 15 years now and they do well.  My grand father killed a 200" five point last year and I don't want to ruin his honey hole by posting it online.  He shot a 170 class buck about four years ago and his new 2012 buck dwarfs it.

Do you have any pictures of the buck? Not calling you out, I'd just like to see it

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

I have a pic of both bucks.  I have to wait till I get home to post them.  The pics aren't to great. I took them w the iPhone and got a bad angle so the points hide the others but he's HUGE!  Mass width and two identical cheaters on his backs.

So I choose not to post pics of my family's deer cause it's not mine to post.  I leave in a week for Idaho and am stoked to get over there as I have never been.  I have been hunting hard here with the bow and missed a nice 4 point bull during elk season at 60 meters.  Shot over his back.  My buddy was shooting earlier in the day and I had changed my range finder to yards for him.  I ranged him at 65 yards and thought meters...  And wiff.  But we got a good hunt in walked about 60 miles in six days and had a blast.  We were in elk every day just couldn't make it happen.  The rifle in Idaho should provide some meat.  Staying for two weeks of the season and I can't wait!  I got sick a few days ago and just hope I can kick it before Friday.  Maybe I get service
And can keep you all posted as we start knocking deer down.  Good luck to all this rifle season.

He is a dandy!

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Yea he is!  I don't think he had him scored any guesses?  The pic is a bad representation of this deer he has mass way up by the cheaters.  Having seen him first hand I'd say close to if not 200".  What do you guys think?  Bone what's your guess?

[boneaddict]

Bucks like that you just don't care about the score.  What a unique BEAUTY!   That's a great buck.  Thank you for sharing.

His fronts are great for score, his backs aren't.  Doesn't matter.  Great deer!
