Early muzzy buck down(story added)
« on: October 07, 2013, 06:40:56 AM »
Well I finally pulled the trigger Friday morning at 11am  after five days of hunting, passing up smaller bucks  and having other bucks slip away.

  The morning started out brisk and cold. At  daylight I found myself a mile in watching a sagebrush bowl I have shot a buck in before.  After not seeing any bucks I moved on to the next canyon  with just does being spotted so far.   At around ten I was working my way over the ridge so I decided to glass where I had came from to see a buck standing in the sage a hundred yards above where I  had walked through an hour earlier.   He was watching me but being about 700 or 800  yards away  he wasn't too alarmed so I kept my same line and once he was out of sight a closed the distance to 227 yards.  After 20 minutes  I was inside of 90 yards I slipped out of  the sage and put it begins his shoulder and pulled the trigger, when the smoke  cleared he was stumbling  out of site in the sage.  Hewas quartered more than I thought so I shot a little back.   He only went about 50  yards and laid down.  After finishing him off  the work began.   Luckily a friend was headed up and came up to help me  out.   by 3:30  we were at the trucks and  off to elk camp.

Dandy buck.  I really wanted to go this year, but the wife schedule family to come up and I had to go to the north slope in Alaska all last week.  Bummed out.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
