Pope and I headed halfway into the Hell Hole as I had seen three legal Bucks their a couple days earlier. At daylight we settled in behind a big pine to block the 30mph winds and start glassing. We started seeing Deer feeding up over the ridge and into the Hell Hole. After glassing for about an hour and looking at about 15 Deer we saw a Good Buck working his way up one of the draws. We went to plan A. Drop 500ft down the ridge spread out 150 yards and ease into the finger draws without spooking all the Deer. And hopefully one of us will get a shot. There were about eight Bucks and 4 legal. The first draw we eased into had 2 good Bucks feeding I ranged one 72yds. But they were between Pope and I and if I didn't get a good shot I was going to let them feed up to Pope. Instead they fed over the ridge away from us but towards the other Deer. We worked our way up a little and all the Deer started coming towards us!!! I ranged a 3x4 at 62 yds started to draw and he started walking I grunted at him but he kept walking. So I didn't shoot. They walked 40 yards under Pope and he waited patiently for the Biggest Buck and hit him slightly quartered to him squarely in the front shoulder!!! The Deer all blew out and the 3X4 ran 80 yds downhill as Shawn watched him pile up!!! What a hunt!!! I tried to get Pope to smile for the Pics but he kept looking the 1/2 mile strait up to the Truck!!!  :chuckle:

Nice buck Pope, especially with archery gear.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Great looking buck Pope!  Sounds like you had a fun pack back to the truck.

I wonder what your daughter is going to name him.  You Moose's name (Lulu) is just absolutely precious.  :chuckle:
