Opening Day Methow Buck. (Regular Season)
« on: November 12, 2008, 09:18:13 PM »
Only had a few days to hunt, so my me my dad and a buddy whent up high to get away from all the people on horses.  We hunted all day and saw about 30 doe and 1 Spike. We got back to camp at about 6:00 and sat down for a drink.  I looked up the hill and spotted this buck looking at us about 500 yards away.  So I whent after him and found him with a few does at the top of the mountain.  I had time for one shot at about 150 yards.  I dropped in his tracks with a shot to the neck and he rolled halfway down. He's a nice heavy 2x3 real tall with a funky droptine eyeguard on the 2 piont side. He was a pig, real fat and big bodied. I couldnt believe he was right there above camp after all day hunting out and about!

WOW, that is a really nice looking buck. Seems like there are becoming more and more really large two points with the three point restriction. Your girlfriend kind of makes it hard to look at the deers antlers. But she does make the rack look good  :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Nice ummmmmmmmmmm dear, I mean deer./.. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Awesome set of ummmm horns, yea, horns.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Great buck!!  Nice job on the Euro mount.  Did you do it yourself?

I'm new on here, but would like to give you a big thumbs up for your deer. My brother inlaw has a place in Winthrop. Maybe I should ask about hunting with him over there.
