Alta Mule Deer, drawn with 20 points
« on: June 13, 2020, 03:42:36 PM »
My dad and I drew the late Alta mule deer tag with 20 points. I'm 41 and have been applying since high school with a few missed years early on. I now live out of state and my dad is 70 so this will be the last time we hunt this unit. We know the Smith, Chicamun, Ben Canyon area, but if anybody has other areas we should check out please feel free to post here or reach out privately. My dad can get around pretty well for his age, I can go anywhere and do whatever possible for the biggest buck. We can be there the whole season.

Good luck, shoot straight.
Don't forget your spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch.

Awesome! Congrats on the pull @whuppinstick. I've enjoyed your previous draw threads, that Idaho goat hunt was EPIC.

Hope you kill a stud and have a good season with your dad.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Ha, thanks!  I have another Idaho story I should take the time to post. I'll try to put that one together this summer.

Any of you old timers have any Polaroids of Alta bucks from the old days ? Everyone loves a little history right ? Like looking through the photos from way back at Ardenvoir store in Entiat area. Very cool.
