This is my 2011 "Rut Buck". I had been practicing all fall at 300-400 yards. Ended up shooting him at 70 yards! First buck with a rifle as I am usually hunting with a bow.

You're right on the money, he ended up being 30 inch's. Saw him up on a ridge from about a mile away. Decided we would take a chance on him, so we put an hour hike in from above. He had been chasing doe's all day. He was the best buck we had seen in the first two days of hunting.

Once we got above him, it was tough to find exactly where he was. He had gone into a small valey and bedded down with brush at his back. Once we had a general idea where he was, we closed in within 70 yards. we fianlly found him and he knew something was up. I had about a 6 inch window to shoot him. Took him from behind while bedded, right between the shoulder blades.

Cant wait to get him back from the TAXI!

Excellent buck and storie.  My cousin shot a 31.5 a few years ago I need to get one bigger.  Lol. I would settle for that though.

Montana is great! This trip was better than the last. It was nice to see antlers in the rear view mirror on the longhall back! If I had the money I would apply every year! I love hunting in Washington too.....I just hate the seasons!
