Well what a fun hunt but I’m wiped.  We spotted this guy last night way down in a hell hole, him and 18-20 does.  We made a great stalk that panned our perfectly.  By the time we got within range it was last shooting light.  He soaked up lead from my 7mm mag like a champ, right before he barrel rolled all the way to the bottom.  He died 2 miles straight down from the nearest road.  Luckily we had great help otherwise I’d still be there.  I have great respect for these mountain studs coming from a life long whitetail hunter.  Thanks to all those that reached out to me for advise on this hunt, not to mention offering to help pack it out.  I’m not a Mule Deer expert but I think this buck is a fine representation of what the area has to offer this time of year.

That might be the biggest understatement I've seen on Hunt Wa.

Congratulations on taking a monster.
