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?

danderson · « **Reply #8 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:55:03 PM »

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.

Good job!! Looks like you hunted lower in the unit. There are some big bucks in there if a person puts in the time and effort.

Nice buck!

Brushbuster · « **Reply #18 on:** November 28, 2011, 12:10:37 PM »

Congrats! Definately a shooter.

jollyskwala · « **Reply #19 on:** November 28, 2011, 12:21:27 PM »

nice job! great buck. The mass on him would easily surpass 80% of the bucks taken. I think it's a trophy.

steen · « **Reply #20 on:** November 28, 2011, 03:27:49 PM »

Definetly a trophy in my book. I've seen a few in the Alta unit but the 3 point rule didn't allow me to shoot them. I would not have hesitated if I had your tag! He doesn't need to breed on either.

Great buck Dave!! good job on going over there and getting it done.

Deer looks big!

danderson · « **Reply #25 on:** November 29, 2011, 10:21:09 PM »

Thanks, I got about twice as much meat off this buck compared to deer that im used to getting, plus best of all I got to hunt in gods country, thanks for a great hunt.

boneaddict · « **Reply #26 on:** November 29, 2011, 10:47:59 PM »

I've seen and filmed that deer several times throughout the last couple years. I almost used my tag on him as well. There are pics of him alive on here somewhere. Filmed him pretty close to where you shot him. NICE

Very cool

Has he always been just a big 2 doug?

boneaddict · « **Reply #29 on:** November 29, 2011, 11:38:17 PM »

Yes. He has been a two since I have seen him. He winter ranges in wolf central, so I have always been impressed with him. Everytime I have seen him he has been bedded, and he doesn't spook real easy, I wonder if thats the tactic since the wolves usually hunt by sight???

boneaddict · « **Reply #30 on:** November 29, 2011, 11:42:39 PM »

THis was 3 years ago, and I pegged him at 8.5 then. I must have been wrong. This was not far at all from where your pic was taken.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #31 on:** November 30, 2011, 12:26:34 AM »

Wow what a cool old buck. That is very cool he lasted so long in that area as well. He is a good one to take out as well. A lot of buck regress down over the years. That buck has been a 2 point probably his whole life them. He has passed a lot of that 2 point strain around as well

Very neat

Nice huge 2x2.. good job. PM Sending

villageidiot · « **Reply #34 on:** December 07, 2011, 06:11:02 PM »

Wow! You spotted him at 600 yds and then snuck within 40 yds. You must of been a military sniper to have the stealthy sneaking skills to get that close in open country. And then to get a good neck shot and not ruin any meat. Your my hero Dave. What a model hunter!

blackveltbowhunter · « **Reply #35 on:** December 07, 2011, 06:48:39 PM »

Great buck, hunt, and pics! What more could you ask for.

Congrats!!!

danderson · « **Reply #36 on:** December 07, 2011, 07:19:54 PM »

Sometimes I even amaze myself, being so stealty and all.
