we had a nice 3pt shot right out from under us during late buck MF in Vail, off 1060 road. the buck was downhill 350 yds from us and dipped into a ravine before my partner could shoot. So he had to wait for the 4 does and buck to make their way up and over the finger ridge above the ravine. Partner got his rifle well rested, I was still binoc'd and we waited...

just a minute earlier, a truck had driven in on the road below us that takes off from 1060. Dang, we have been on stand since before daylight. We watched the 4 does that were in front of the buck reappear on our finger ridgeline and make close the distance to 250 yards. The buck was behind them aways and still was not in sight. About the time the buck's antlers-head appeared, the buck went down as the rifle report followed.
>>>VAIL: you love it and hate it!<<<

I passed on a couple small bucks there in late season Modern but still holding out for a racker. now late archery season and hopefully the Nile or western WA will be lucky for me before mid December...when the steelie fishing starts

I got this buck opening morning of late buck after riding my bike in for a couple of miles. Didn't get back to the truck until dark. Do to the cold and rain my camera died so I didn't get any good field photo's.[/img]
