My first buck at age 19
« on: March 03, 2010, 04:34:22 PM »
I've been hunting since I was 14 and this was the first buck I've had a shot at here in Washington. He's a 5x7 muley that I shot South West of Cle Elum opening morning of 2009. He's got about a 24- 25 inch spread and his hanging weight was 174lbs.

 Way to go Wyatt, setting the bar high right off the bat.  :tup:

No, no, no. You did it all wrong. You have to shoot a dink as a first one, that way, there's nowhere to go but up. Like me, I shot a 2" spike when I was a kid as my first buck. Never shot a smaller one!

Congrats on a fine animal. Good to see a good smile when posing and not degrading the animal by riding him or picking him up. Definately a bench mark for you to shoot for in your future hunts.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
