Me and my little (bigger) brother got it done up on the crest. We packed in Friday and set up camp at 6500 ft. We woke up early on Saturday to a blanket of fresh snow. Had a tough hike up to 7000 ft over and under a bunch of blow down. I spotted this guy bedded down just off the back side of the mountain at about 150 yards. The brother put a perfect shot on him...then to work started. It was tough but we had him boned out and we were back at the trail head by early afternoon. Not a bad opening day, and the best part was sharing it all with my bro!
The first pic is a selfie I tried to take of me, my bro, and the deer...not the best shot I know. the second pic is just me and I think It does the most justice. This buck was big and old....all boned out we had over 90 lbs of just meat!
