Late Swakane
« on: November 18, 2014, 06:58:51 AM »
After hunting hard for 5 days and only seeing 16 different bucks I bagged the biggest we saw on Sunday the 16th. Despite not having snow up high to bring them down the hunt was a blast and saw lots of deer just not as many bucks as I had hoped. I couldn't have done it without my guide (my dad) and my to spotters, my brother and Luchi.

Congrats on a great buck.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Thanks for sharing.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Nice buck on a tough hunt.  Talked to another hunter up there today and he said the bucks are slim picking.
