That is such a cool old beast of a buck! Congrats! Good thing your friend was able to locate you quickly. You should have him and his wife (if he is married) over for a dinner for that.

Lol! Your on!

Now it all makes sense after seeing the connection with 3nails. 2 giant bucks this year for you guys. Big bucks at snow level in Blacktail country is awesome.

One heck of an adventure!   I love the mass that buck's carrying.  I'll bet that old dude has sired a lot of fawns up on that hill.  Super job following him and getting the second shot in him.  I'm amazed.

The face on that buck is just amazing.  It just looks like an ancient deer.

Wow,  a truly amazing buck.   Was it shot in the timber or in an opening?
