2010 Idaho Whitetail Success!
« on: November 21, 2010, 11:42:13 AM »
Well guys and gals, I finally filled my Idaho Whitetail tag this morning. Not much of a story.   
   
   After having difficulty throughout the season trying to find a buck that would stand around long enough for me to get a shot off I decided to head out this morning to see if my luck would change. (Three times this season I've bumped shooter bucks but was a half second away from getting a shot off)

   My brother and I arrived at our hunting destination at sunrise and hiked back into an area I discovered earlier in the season. Around 0730 we spotted a smaller buck which I promptly MISSED!! Dang!.....Well, we decided to take it slow and head back to the truck. We hadn't made it more than a quarter mile when two bucks crossed the path ahead of us (I never did see the first buck but my brother did). I saw the buck in the rear as he went over a small knoll. I ran to a better vantage point and caught him about 30-40 yrds ahead of me heading for the trees. I threw my rifle up, aimed for his neck, and let lose. He dropped right in his tracks!

  I do want to thank 4 very cool guys that happened upon us about the time we finished field dressing my buck. They got thier ATVs, loaded my deer, and drove us all the way back to my truck...and would not take anything for the favor! They REALLY made the end of the hunt that much more enjoyable!

Congratulations.  Nice buck!
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Nice buck, congrats.

Nice buck Jeremy!  Cool antlers with some great character!  Glad you put one down after a lot of hard work.  Nice to get a lift out and save a bunch of packing.  Did your brother have any luck or did he already tag out?  Nice work again and congrats.
Michael

Thanks guys! He'll make for some pretty damned good meals this winter! Not to mention a little sausage and jerky.

Mike: JD did not buy his Idaho tag this year. He went back to school and is now a full time student. Tough to justify spending out of state fees with school. However, he did go with me about 5 times this season and was a great bird dog, spotter, packer, comic relief, etc.
