my buck from this season Unit 371
« on: February 02, 2008, 11:04:29 PM »
It was the third day of the hunt Nov.19th in the same canyon.  We new there were deer in the area, big deer tracks and lots of shedded sage a small but once large hidden water supply and tons of cover.  We hunted a canyon west of this one first thing in the morning and saw a couple of smaller bucks, where we had seen a few nicer ones scouting.  We decided to drive over closer to the canyon where i had harvested the buck.  About 1 mile down the road just before the canyons edge wackmaster spotted a buck following a single doe.  The truck stopped and i got out got my gun out of the case and loaded it,"firing center rules", by-pod out ass in snow,  25" fork pretty heavy.   Decided to pass as the doe ran out of sight over a small roll in the  hillside down into the canyon as the buck followed.  I put everything back away and we drove up to the other side of the canyon and got out the spotting scopes just to look for any we might not have seen.  As i focused up my Nikon 20x60x82 i saw my buck, and then the fork as they circled eachother i stopped watching and gathered my gear.  As wackmaster watched from the top of the canyon i decended down to the canyon bottom 1500 feet down quikly.  With a roll in the hillside to hide me i was able to sneek up to a 120 yards before taking him..   I have to thank my good friend and long time hunting partner for the oppertunity, he's convinced me to put in for several yrs. now and finally it paid off.   I'll pay him back in wyoming.
Work sucks!!!! I should be shed hunting

That's a beautiful buck. I didn't know it was legal to shoot them with cannons in this state. What an exit wound!
