Snake River Breaks earned a one the hard way.
« on: February 10, 2009, 08:10:54 PM »
I shot this guy in the bottom of a draw just bellow Lower Granite Dam.  I just came over the ridge as he walked out of the brush.  He was 200 yards away almost strait down hill.  I had to stand on the edge of a cliff to get a shot.  The entry hole went strait through his back and came out his belly just behind the front legs.   
Yeah but at least it will eat good...

Congrats on the buck. I've always enjoyed hunting the breaks of the Snake River. Grew up hunting the breaks just above Wawawai.
