Big Idaho Buck!

This is my second buck. I took advantage of buying two deer tags in Idaho. I'm not sure how to copy the link, but the first buck I got is under "My Idaho Buck". I left with enough time to scout 1 1/2 days. Found some nice bucks. On the opener I locate the herd I seen the morning before about 75 yards from where they where feeding the day before. I made a stalk which probably took an hour to get into range. I seen three big bucks at 175 yards. I picked the best of the three and shot. Which turned out to be a miss
Thn about ten seconds later a buck came running out of the draw at me. He stopped at 75 yards and looked back up the hill away from me. I almost past him because he was a lot smaller then the other bucks. But I decided to take him and I'm glad I did because he's a solid buck. I boned him out then spent till about 4 pm packing him out. Then hung him in a tree for the night a half mile from the truck. I was about three miles in, in rough terrain. The next morning I packed him out. Then got a flat tire and had to go get it fixed. I was tired and very sore. But I only had four days to hunt. So I hiked into a new spot that was very tough to get to physically. I changed shirts because the one I wore in was wet. The wind was blowing about 30 and it was very very cold. I put on all my clothes and got in a rock patch that was kinda out of the wind and glassed. I finally set my pack over the top of my legs because I was shaking bad enough from the cold it was hard to glass. After about 1 1/2 hours this buck stepped out. I set up my pack on a rock and ranged him at 435. I waited until my nerves calmed to make the shot. Then I packed half of him out. And will pack the rest out today.
Great season, great views, I'm feeling blessed
