high buck hunt
« on: October 09, 2010, 10:32:26 AM »
This was my 2nd time on this hunt, was successful the 1 st time. The weather was rainy and snow had fallen during the night of the first time up there. My partner and I were 12 miles in on horses, woke up to over a foot of snow. Nothing was moving so we headed out after a cold and miserable night. I should mention that on the way in my horse was stung and my saddle broke and I went off landing on my back on top of my gun. So I didn't think it was going to shoot straight. Luck was on my side for on the way out we spotted 4 does and a nice 3 point, my partner said shoot him if u want 2. Well I didn't know if the scope was still on but at about 80 yards I couldn't pass it up. I aimed for the neck and perfect shot went down & didn't even twitch. I love my ziess scope well worth the money. This year the weather was perfect, saw 5 different bucks on the same hillside the evening before. There was 4 of us in camp this year and we joked about all of us tagging on the first morning . Well guess what we were all done within the first 20 minutes. Unbelievable.4 big bucks all over 200 lbs. A lot of work but well worth it. My hunting partners don't think that will ever happen again, but I said not until next year. A lot of scouting to find a place like that in Washington. Awesome. I will post pictures if I can figure it out. Spartans.

You are absolutely torturing us here  :chuckle:  You know we need pics to survive vicariously through others while we continue to search for the elusive brown critters!

Very cool! 8)
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
