Bones Alta Hunt

[Wea300mag]

It's nice that you and phool have all the pressure this year and not me. Good luck and knock down a big one to put some pressure on bucklucky.

Lovin the pics. 

If you shoot a small one you'll never get a big one.

Way to go Bone, that buck has week G2's and mains, a 150 class at best. I will have to say he has a hawg of a body though. Much better bucks in that area and we both know it

Keep up the faith brotha, tomorrow should be fog free and glassing should help you out a ton.

You dump a whitetail and I will do all I can to make sure the WDFW doesn't let you see another special late permit!!
Just go for that big Mossyhorn and no pissers. Montana can wait thats an easy meat hunt.

[Hornseeker]

Indeed...I did not mean to rush the MT thing... you have till Nov 30th here! Or you could bowhunt whitetails in Missoula until Jan 15th!

Been looking forward to hunting with you via the internet on your late hunt. Love the area that your in too, was planning on hunting around there this year prior to breaking my wrist.

I thought the top pic was a 4 point, I didn't know it was the 3 in the next pic.

No big deal Duck.  There are a couple disadvantages of packing stick and string versus Iron, such as this morning I was thinking of your question.   
Standing there at about 100 yards for 10 minutes, he is not sure how lucky he is.

I was going to take today off and do some photography, but some friends on here gave me a good motivational speech, so I was back on the mountain, no matter how tired my legs are or sore my feet are.  Its funny, anyone who thinks having this tag is a turkey shoot is nuts.  I've hunted more with this tag than I have for the last 4 general seasons combined. LOL   
ANyway, started out in the low country today.  VERY FEW deer yet.  No migrators on my side.  Pearygin and Chiliwist are getting them, but not much for ALta yet.  I spotted two does and two local little bucks first off.  I had gone a long ways when I spotted this deer going away from me, taking his time climbing the hill.  It looked like a whitetail from 400 yards out.  Threw up the binos and it was a strange muley but looked like a decent buck.  I grabbed the camera out of the backpack and snapped a couple at least to document him.  Then the fart layed down.  ANother perfect spot.  I figured out the only way to approache and started.  Then I picked up a couple does.  They were right where I needed to go.  THey were all looking at something so I figured another deer would show up, sure enough, another doe, then another then another.  I was like OK wheres the buck, sure enough.....unfortunately all that excitement wasted on a two point.  I didn't feel like taking his pics, sorry.  I didn;t want them to spot me and spook.   I waited until they cleared then headed up the mountain.  I ran intot he coyote pictured above, then kept climbing.  I got up to the top and edged closer to look over.  No buck.  CRAP!!!  I figured he might take those 7 does away from that two point.  So I moved a little further ahead then decided to look in the shade of my hill.   Sure enough, I crept up to him and was about 20 yards above him, easily I could have sliced and diced.  I decided to slip the pack off and get my camera out.  Of course he heard the zipper and he took a couple bounds then stopped.   Now take a gander at this *censored*s tail.  What the heck?   Mule deer with a little whitetail, or a blacktail .......The ass and tail are messed up. LOL
