Great buck
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Little bit more about hunt as I am home now. After sitting on him waiting for him to stand I had my video cam filming and trying to do both. 2 new does showed up and he jumped to his feet and starts chasing them around . I think I clicked safety off 3-4 times always stopping just behind brush. He then chases a doe up a steep ,but shallow canyon and outta sight. The 3 does I could see have now also followed into canyon outta sight. Ugh! Instead of waiting and hoping they reappear I decided to pack up my stuff and sneak over to the edge of the canyon and knew this was going to be close. Wind was perfect I get to 20 yards drop pack and leave my vid camera as I am not screwing with it at this point . There is a rock bluff I wanna sneak up to peer into this canyon which is only 100 yards wide. As I am inching up I spot a doe feeding at 70 yards ! I hear another straight below . This bluff has a 100’ drop off. I try looking down to see if it’s him, can’t see a deer. I look back up at feeding doe and there he is coming up behind her at 70 yards. 1 shot behind the shoulder and he ran 50 yards. Had a super easy pack out , about as flat and down hill as it could be for 3 mi. I’d like to thank several people on here for reaching out throttlejockey20,jjhunter,zwickeyman and days before I left emskou reached out to get ahold of his buddy who had the tag in 16. I woulda never hunted this spot without his info. Few pics from hunt.

This pic is where I spotted him
