Last Day Idaho Buck Down
« on: November 04, 2015, 04:38:45 PM »
Left for Idaho last Thursday to hunt the last 5 days of the season.  Hunted hard but the rut just wasn't kicking in.  Finally last night I started seeing some decent rut activity.  Early this morning on the last day of the season I made the choice to pass on a decent buck and about 5 minutes later I was blessed with this buck of a lifetime!  Beautiful country, not many places prettier than the Salmon River Breaks.  Steep but breathtaking.

That is a great deer, dark and heavy for sure and I am not sure you could get much deeper forks.

Congrats on an awesome deer. :tup:

The forks are great and make him score big.  Back forks are 14" and fronts are about 12".  Green score 185 7/8.

See where he is at after he dries.

I would have guessed 180, great deer, should be close to the 185 even after it dries.  After 150-160 they are just big.

Congrats.
