I am sitting in Swedish hospital with my brother, Fishseeker. He is in his last hours or days but I know he wouldn't want me to miss this opportunity. I am not sure how many more hunts this body of mine will be able to do. We had a good two weeks of elk hunting and he will be with me on this hunt.
It looks like favorable weather next week so I have a good feeling about it.

He must be crazy. Passing a deer that scores 190. Glad he's not my hunting partner cause I like to eat. :chuckle: oh wait a minute that means I can shoot. :IBCOOL: maybe I need more hunting partners like him for future trips.Typically these late tag hunters are not too concerned with the "meat" aspect of the opportunity! ;) :twocents:

:yeah: after putting in for years and years for an absolutely premium tag, anyone who shot an average buck before the last day would be a fool.
Elk4Me, kill the biggest buck up there and remember your brother is there too.

I feel that my little brother Fishseeker was there with me this morning and that makes it the perfect hunt.

He is no monster but the best of the herd. We saw about 8 bucks before this one. He was with another 4x4 and when I saw the eye guards I gave him a taste of Hornady SST 180gr. He didn't like it. I could have waited for something bigger maybe but I am happy, easy drag in light snow, downhill 400 yards to the truck.That's just awesome man ...glad you had fun and ended up with a nice one ... I just love the look of those High Mt.timber bucks ....they have a look of their own :tup: :tup:

Congratulations Scott, we all know John had that one hand picked for you. :tup:I really felt that he was with me. It was just so easy with lots of bucks running around. I got him on the SR 20 Methow Game Range. There was about 1 1/2" of fresh snow and it was snowing. Picture perfect conditions, short drag downhill and it was just what Fishseeker would have needed if it were him. I am going to mount it, it is my biggest deer ever and it was just a perfect day. My 71 year old deer hunting partner went with me and it was great to be able to have someone along to enjoy the moment.

We got home, have it hanging at my friends for the night. I need to get it to a meat cutter early tomorrow due to the warmer weather coming. I hope I find one open that can take it. We would do it ourselves but time is not on our side. I also want to get a head mount. I kinda messed the hide up for a shoulder mount so I will have to settle for just in front the shoulder.

I would also volunteer to help with some cutting/packaging. I've done 2 elk and a deer this year and my knives are sharp. Be happy to just run a vacuum sealer if it would help out.
