Late Draw Methow Dropper Buck
« on: November 13, 2007, 01:24:37 PM »
My brother drew a 2007 late permit and was able to find this unique buck.  A heavy based 24+" 4x4 plus two smaller eye guards on one side and a nice drop tine (9-10") on the other.  He saw the buck early in his hunt but was not able to confirm it was a shooter and lost it in the fog.  He found it again a couple of days later and everything came together and he was able to put a nice shot on the buck at approx. 250 yds.  Thanks a lot to those of you who helped give us some direction.  We originally intended to hunt up high but suggestions to hunt some of the lower ridges and canyons proved to be good advice.  Enjoy.

Lots of trick parts.  Palmy at the G2/3, a nobby below that, a few more stickers on the right side.  Then the Pro-Circuit  Lowboy exhaust Pipe dropping off the left.  A Factory Works buck for sure.  Did he smell like VP Racing fuel?  Good Ride you got there.
