Alta muzzy buck down
« on: November 27, 2011, 09:04:16 PM »
Well I filled my Alta muzzy buck tag this weekend,  it started out great after spotting some nice smaller bucks and good numbers of does I figured that it would be a matter of time before I located the buck that I was looking for, my goal was to shoot one that was around 24 inch spread and had some mass, this was the first late buck hunt for me so I didnt know what to expect. I spotted this buck late in the day with only 30 minutes of shooting light left and decided to take the shot, I knew that it was only a 2 point but it filled all the requirements that  I set for myself, the tag was good for any buck and as far as I am concerned this deer is as nice as they come with a 26 1/2 inch spread its a trophy.

Good job.  Good to see a big 2pt get killed and taken out of the gene pool.

You got yourself a big mature buck, can't complain about that.

Nice buck. I would've taken it with a muzzleloader, no doubt. It's obvious from looking at its face and the size of the body that it's a mature buck.

So how far was the shot and what bullet were you using?

I shot it with the 295 powerbelts,from 40 yards, I spotted it from 600 yards away, standing under a large pine tree with 2 does, figured out that I could sidehill from above him and get within 100 yards, I was surprised to see he was so close when I got into place, got the shooting sticks out and one shot to the neck he fell in his tracks.

It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.
