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.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Very awesome, been wanting a big droptine buck for a long time, that one would have satisfied me on day one as well.  :drool: Congrats to your BRO!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
