Title: Desert Permit Filled
Post by: buckhorn2 on October 25, 2014, 11:19:49 PM
Had a great trip over to the Desert saw lots of deer and had great hunting weather. My Daughter in law had the permit and did a great job sneaking through the sage and spotting bucks. Will get the camera out and put up some pictures and her story the power has been out here and we just got home.

Okay I am back again what a great time in the desert. We hunted with our good friend Dick Hemore from over at the pot holes and he knows every deer by name that lives over there. He took us to a spot boardering a corn field and we waited for daylight that never seems to come when your hunting. He told my son and his wife to go out to a high sand hill and he would circle around and try to push some deer around to them I thought no way would that happen but this guy can.  Dick came back to the truck to say he heard them shoot and he had seen 9 shooter bucks one big for point with stickers all over he said we would go after that afternoon if they missed. My son called one the cell and said they saw several nice bucks but one at 800 yards they made a sneak on. They got close about 200 yards and she got a good rest in the sand and shot and the deer went to the right there were several other deer and 2 other bucks that came out of the draw but not the one they shot at and my boy said when she shot he said it sounded like she hit it but was;nt sure.  Tey looked around where he was for almost 2 hours finding nothing when Dick said I am going out to help look we will stay here all day if he thinks she hit the deer. When he got out there he went out farther than they were looking and said I am on his tracks. They went over there and they jumped him just past where he was when she shot so they figured he must be hit to stay there when all the others left. There was no blood so Dick took Heather and they followed the tracks and all of a sudden she saw the buck laying right in front of her and she said to Dick there he is right there he did;nt see it because he was on the other side of a bush when he came around he said that's a huge buck shoot and about then it jumped and started running and she got a running shot at about 100 yards we had her shooting all summer and a lot off hand and that payed off. Dick said I think she missed it but after another tracking job there it was dead in the trail she had double lunged it on the run. She was so excited she layed on the deer and cried it was her first big buck. We had a great time and a great dinner with Frank Dicks friend who lives at Mar Don. This is the third time we have been able to hunt the desert and the only advise I could pass along would be to call Dick. Sorry I missed you Jim hope you liked the fish.

She wants to see if she can have it mounted with the velvet on the taxi said we need to get it to him tonight so he can take care of it. The deer had its male parts but Dick said something must have happened for it to still have velvet on this time of year.

That's a nice buck I saw you pulling out of Mardon. I also filled my desert tag first day .took me 14 years to draw well worth the wait. I saw at least 150 deer the first morning lots of bucks but I was holding out for the big one. It was a 2000yard stock almost dark but I got it done.

both nice bucks     seen rileyb buck first hand in the parking lot at mardons   That is a nice buck  rileyb post a front picture of your buck   I would guess with the mass your buck has it would score around 180/190    Two of the best in the desert unit so far

Here is a front picture of my deer and I did mean 2000yards. my buddy  watched him through a spotting scope until he laid down. His head was nodding up and down falling a sleep.Took me and another buddy an 1 1/2 hours of crawling and hiking through 6' tall sage brush then waited an hour for him to stand up. He took 3 steps out from behind a piece of sagebrush . He was 242 yards away hit him with 1 shot from my 6.5 284 Norma 142 grain Berger bullet he dropped

Congratulations on the desert bucks! I have seen a bunch of bucks still in velvet this year over here. Not sure what the deal is.

That's a great buck! I'm heading over on November 14 for the late desert hunt. Any tips? what area were you in?

Thanks and congratulations!

I went on C road from the south and the north. Just head for the tall sand dunes and start glassing you will find deer everywhere. With that late tag you should get a dandy deer, that was my 1st choice .got drawn for my 2nd choice still saw a lot of deer. Also just to let you know your going to see a lot of bucks you would shoot in any other unit  be patient and hold out. There are some monster deer in this unit.
