"i thought he was a little bigger or i would of passed him "

Is that like when a woman says "Do I look fat?" and they just really want you to say, no dear, you look great.... 

There are lots of guys, and gals, that would love to shoot a little one like that.   

Nice deer BTW.

I lost one that way about 20 ago

Way to drop the bomb on him!

Is rock lake by Ewan?

[mad-bomber]

yes rock lake is just north of the town of ewan.

[huntmando]

That is what I thought. I've hunted an area just west of Ewan the last couple years.
We've done pretty well but have never seen a whitetail there.

[mad-bomber]

public or private? i hunt a couple private spots west of ewan as well. i shot this deer northeast of ewan.have you shot anything down there?

[huntmando]

It's private. Last year we saw tons of deer opening weekend and got a couple of bucks.
This year we couldn't go until the second weekend. I shot my biggest buck on friday
but that was the only legal buck that we saw all weekend. The guys that were there
the weekend before us thought It would be a good idea to ride atv's around.
Its a great spot with rock creek runnin right thru it so hopefully we can go back.

Great bucks.  I love that country.....spent most of my life running around there chasing all types of game.  We still have some ground down there.  I know most of that country like that back of my hand.  If I haven't hunted it, I've stretched wire across it  .  We used to have really good mule deer (1994 - 2000), but it has really dropped off.  We killed a bunch of nice 24"-29" bucks during this time.   

The hunting was way better before the state and BLM started buying up Rock Creek.  Used to be no-one down there - now it's a madhouse.  I have switched to hunting whitetails/muleys in a completely different area because of this.   I have access to some of the best private down there, but the big bucks are just too few and far between.   There are still a lot of deer and a lot of bucks just nothing big.  Looks like you are finding some good whiteys.  Good job!

i agree in 2000 we saw so many nice deer muley and whitetail.i dont shoot any mule deer out of the private land i hunt anymore because of low numbers but ill take mature whitetail bucks.what really pisses me off is when i see 8 guys piled in a truck driving through the fields chasing the deer down! half of them dont even have permission they ust fly throught the eyebrows and shoot whatever runs out. i have a couple buddies who used to work for escure's when they were running sheep through revere some pretty awesome stories about the good old days.im sure you know alot of the guys i know if you wor
