heres a pic my dad sent me. not the best quality but ill have better ones when he gets home.Story:He decided to walk into a draw after we parted ways yesterday about noon. Took his time crunching up the coulee and spotted a nice 4pt in the brush above him. The buck wasn't spooked and paid no attention to him. He was able to sneak into 40 yds and the buck moved off out of range. He was held up in a stand of small pines when he heard some crunching and thrashing below him. There was a larger buck tearing up trees as he made his way up out of the bottom. Ended up running past Dad at about 50 yds but moving too quick for a shot. The bigger buck got to the smaller one and started tearing up more trees then picked a fight and they sparred for a fewminutes! They were wheezing at each other and everything! Damn i wish I would of been there. I had been filming everything all week and that would have been cool. We noticed the day prior the bucks started chasing does and i have video of a couple smaller bucks going at it. There was definitely some secondary rut going on. Anyway, the bigger buck got done chasing off the smaller one and headed directly to my dad. He got to 15 yards behind some trees and dad drew on him, the buck held up and made dad hold his bow for what he said was at least a minute. The buck stepped out and he double lunged him. Didn't go far, made a circle and dropped. This pic is how he found him. He quartered him and caped him out and packed out the majority then headed back in this morning for the rest.What a hunt! I had a blast even though I missed the final chapter, i still got to have a good 4 days of hunting with my dad and the memories will last a lifetime. Can't wait till I draw the tag now!Anyone recommend a taxidermist close to lake stevens area? I think we'll get him mounted.
