Thanks guys - Black Canyon area
A couple things i learned on this hunt - wish i were younger/more in shape and the BIG bucks are much smarter even during the rut. The 2 mashers we saw acted nothing like all the smaller ones, they acted almost they were not rutting yet ? Not sure,im just a blacktail hunter mostly- never really hunted mulies during the rut much.

Nice buck!  I seen a nice 3pt & 4pt early last week on there & might have passed you. Seen 8 bucks that day but nothing I was looking for. Back at it. Snow is deep & difficult but was able to get up 4,000 ft yesterday & was snowing. Deer were in the timber & seen a few does. Dropped down lower & glassed up a decent buck & may have to get a closer look at him today.

Well congrats on your buck. That Black Canyon area has really been hit by Wolves the past few years. Talked to a special permit holder last year that hunted it and all he brought up was the amount of wolf sign he saw. He said he didn't see anything larger than a 2 point but then he had a quad in the back of his truck so he may have spent a lot of time on it. That upper Black Canyon used to hold some dandies as did Squaw or Hunters Cr as its labeled now. good job

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

 David sent me a pic of one he’s still after, hoping he can locate him tomorrow.

 After 19 year of applying I Just finished up my late Alta hunt.  my last day I finally pulled the trigger on this 3x4.
Seen lots of buck but never saw the toad I was after. I was also able to help put a friend on a nice 4x4 that was pretty respectable (hope he post pics for you all to see).

Hope everyone had a great hunt and made some great Memories.

May not be the toad you were after, but that is a very nice buck.
