My 75year old Grandpa killed his widest buck of his hunting career on Sunday over in Twisp. He got one of the early migrators that filtered down. Its a dandy 4x3, I was told its a hair over 26 wide, all I have is a camera phone picture, I will post it later today, I am very excited for him. It been some time since he killed one. He was out on his own hiked up an old closed down logging grade.

ABOSLUTELY COOL! I can't wait to see the pic. You want to get me fired up, just say a big Methow buck got it. I'm all over it. CONGRATS TO HIM. I just hope it wasn't out of the Chiliwist. (Thats where my Dad will be hunting in another week!)

Well heres the only picture I got. Unfortunately I wasnt there, my brother sent me the picture and said it was around 26 outside, not to bad for a 75 year old man. He is the reason that I hunt today, I was first introduced to Mule deer and the Methow by my grandfather and grew up hunting over there with him and my family. I was real excited to here that he tagged out. I dont get to hunt with him much any more because I archery hunt, but on occasion I get over there during the rifle season and get to accompany him. Hopefully they took some field or camp photos, if so I will post them. Bone he killed him above blackpine somewhere, when I find out Ill PM where. The killed 3 bucks 2 smaller 4x4 and this guy. I would like to have it mounted for him but hes not really into that like me. He just nails them up on the garage wall and there they collect dust. He has killed dozens of bucks over there since the sixtys and never had any of them mounted, he just loves to be out in the woods. Anyways enough ranting heres the picture.

Great buck and even a better story. It reminds us that we all need to be active in getting the younger ones out so we can continue the great tradition of hunting. Tell him congratulations on a awesome buck.

What a buck!! That is a dandy!

Bearhunter · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2007, 09:34:05 AM »

Thanks guys. Garrett ya, but the only bad thing is that it publises a good are, and makes it harder for everyone that already hunts there to get a tag, thats the downfall of these dang magazines. I cool to get an article in but it could potentially ruin a good spot. Anyways thanks.

Congrats to your grandpa, I hope I can still walk when I'm 75.

I was there and helped drag it out. Steep country for an old cuss. Grandpa had it strapped to a tree with a hank of line and partially gutted it. Had to tie it up to keep it from rolling over the bank. Spooky thing was when we got there to drag it, there was a huge rainbow across the sky, and the end of it was right where the buck lay. Maybe that was supposed to be some kind of message.

We been hunting them hills for decades, and we had a pretty good shindig after Dad went to sleep! His biggest buck!

I have another pic. I'll send it after I figure out how this machine works.

Here's a field photo of Dad's buck. Last I talked to him, he said his bags are packed, and he's already gearing up for 2008!

Bookworm · « **Reply #22 on:** January 30, 2008, 10:09:32 PM »

I hope that I can still move around enough to hunt like that when I'm that age . Great buck!

He looks like he is in pretty good shape for a 75 year old. Looks tough too. Looks like he could still kick some ass too.
