halflife, any pictures?
Actually, I have a couple.  I remembered the thing being a 4 point, but actually a pretty small 3 point.  Not too impressive from an antler standpoint, especially with the bucks that are in the unit, but being his first (archery) deer and on the last day that he could hunt, he just went with it.  Plus, how it all went down was really cool.  I think that with a few archery bucks under his belt he wouldn't have shot it.  I've seen him pass on does and bigger bucks with his rifle.

I didn't ask him if he minded if I put his picture on the internet, so that's actually me in the picture.  I'm not sure how he'd feel about it...he's sort of paranoid about that kind of thing.  All the best pictures have him in it (as it should be.)

Buy two sets of Boots first off.  Seriously it is a great tag.  I had it in 06 for archery and there is a picture of my buck on another thread.  It is not an easy hunt but you will see bucks every day.  I scouted it starting in early september until the hunt started around the 15th of November.  I had fun and learned a lot on the hunt.  Jake is right about the crunchy snow, but even worse is when the fog rolls in.  It makes it tough.  Put the miles on, but spend time glassing as well.  You will be amazed how many deer you see when you sit down and glass.  I believe the fewest bucks I saw in one day was somewhere around 18.  The most was about 30.

Have fun and let the air out of a big one.

My friend just drew this tag.  He has never been there before, so he is going to head over once or twice to scout it before he takes the week off to hunt.  We will see if he can get a nice buck.
Cut em!
