It snowed lightly on our first day and we sat in that draw for a few hours with just four does walking by me at 20 yards. That afternoon produced similar results but we did catch a glimpse of a whitetail buck.
Day two we decided to hunt high and we hunted high. Lots of snow and we followed several tracks but never did catch a buck. We hiked in a gate that was close to the top and finally saw a buck. He bolted so fast I couldn't even draw on him so ended day two.
We were loading up on our last day and Kazekurt told me I should bring a rifle just in case I couldn't get into bow range so I did. We started hiking up the mountain right at daylight and just as we reached our glassing spot Kaze spots a deer right behind us. I put my binos up and saw some spikes and said ok I will take him. Kaze ranges the buck at 238 yards and I layed prone and hit him with my sons 243. The buck spins and moves very slowly down the hill. We watched him bed and we moved closer and I hit him one last time. It was a awesome trip and one I hope to do again. Thanks Kaze it was awesome. First ever rifle kill for me and on our way out we had a massive bighorn sheep cross in front of us.
