Lots of threes in the area last year, all fours this year.  I wonder if they are the same bucks???

Huge difference in weather.  This year there was about 8 inches of snow and climbing where these pics were taken.  Pretty dangerous in the rocks.

Thanks Michael, I am envious of your trip.  Dang if you would have had a cougar tag in your pocket you could have gotten a double.  What did you think of Colorado?

The Official score is in

As you might have seen in the moose and elk thread, Lance was out and this is what we came out with.  Fingers crossed for the Glenn St Charles award.

Doug,
   Do you think this years buck was bigger body wise than last years?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Yeah, he was a stocky monster.  Very havy mature buck.  The other one was a bit younger.  I ordered his form today.  Another mount for the "garage". :)
