Idaho Plans a Bust......Update with Success Story

[fishngamereaper]

After a thank god for the success, and a thank you to the deer for the sacrifice, I couldn't help but say holy eye guards.

So the work begins. I get directions to my buddies and the bro and I get to work. I look my buck over and find a small exit wound back in the rib cage. The entrance was a little far back but the 6.5 did the job. It zipped right through him at 300 yds, not much external blood but a lot of internal blood.

We get a bunch of pics and get the deer gutted. Just in time for the snowy drag out my buddies show up. We get the deer to the truck just before dark, get my buddies truck unstuck again ( he needs new tires)..and head back to camp for a hot dinner and whiskey.

Good job to all.  Oh to be young again....

We spent the next morning taking care of the deer and getting the meat into the big griz cooler to stay warm   as the outside temps where in the 20's.

We tried that afternoon and the next morning to get another deer but to no avail. My buddy was content with his week and the opportunities he had.

We finally got a break in the weather to break camp down. It's beautiful, peaceful country especially when its loaded with snow.

Looking back on the hunt it obvious everything happens for a reason. Those "plans" you think you make may not be the plans for you. Had the backcountry hunt not been changed I would of never had this opportunity at an incredible hunt, great time with friends, and a great buck. Not going into details Ive had a heck of a stressful last couple of months. I almost didn't go on the hunt. But its what I needed. Gods country, Gods plan. It all worked out and will be etched in my memory forever.

In the end we went 3 for 4 on tags with 100% opportunity. Everyone had a great time and we will be back again....

The buck is getting well deserved treatment as I dropped him off at the tax man in Davenport on the way home.
