Title: Pearrygin Quality Buck
Post by: Sawbuck on November 06, 2020, 01:42:36 PM: After 18 years I finally have a 224 permit in hand. I drew with a buddy of mine, he’s been hunting since the opener, I’m leaving Wednesday after work and staying as long as needed. Hopefully, after what looks to have been an awesome general season, you boys left a few bucks running around for us late season guys. Several years back my dad drew this hunt and we used his horses to get behind the gates to locate deer, I’m planning on doing the same since it doesn’t look like we are going to get much snow to help us out. Open to suggestions if anyone has some advise. Want to throw it out there to the other tag holders that if you need a hand or a good pack horse to look me up, I’m in a new white chev with a grey maverick gooseneck trailer, or send me a message. Good luck everybody looking forward to hearing about your hunts and hopefully posting a good story of my own.

We road the horses up the tripod road to the pearrygin creek washout glassing the whole way but only seeing a few small bucks. Hopefully this weather will get some big boys moving in.

Post by: Sawbuck on November 13, 2020, 03:18:50 PM: Got it done at noon today. This guy went trotting around Sullivan’s pond and went buy us as we drove up the road. Had to make a quick decision, easy spot, short shot, and the lack of big bucks in the area I decided to take him. Crab fronts but he’s a 4x5 and my biggest buck to date.

The deer were low, we saw a few small bucks up higher but no shooters. Hopefully this weather gets them moving for you

Title: Re: Pearrygin Quality Buck
Post by: Sawbuck on November 22, 2020, 07:59:41 AM: Thank you everybody. I took horses over to check the areas behind the gated roads, practiced shooting longer shots if needed, told my work I wasn’t coming home till I got a deer, and I ended up shooting this guy 50’ from the truck the second day I was there at noon! He about jumped in the truck with us as we drove by heading up to check for tracks in the fresh snow. Things often don’t work out how you think they will, I actually hesitated shooting because I didn’t want the hunt to be over. I’m thankful for this hunt and for this great deer, I’m thankful my wife and youngest baby girl got to come along on this hunt along with a good friend and his wife. This trip got cut short after hearing that evening that our oldest had an appendicitis and was going into surgery, we left for home the next morning. Nope things don’t often work out how you think but often they work out for the best. I’ll probably be an old man before I draw a quality deer tag again if I ever do, but I’ll be there for my kids, my family and friends when they draw and those will be the times that things will work out better than anything I can plan for.

Post by: SpicyTacos on November 22, 2020, 12:11:08 PM: Thanks for sharing. Great job. I like how you prepared for long shots, hunted behind the gates, let your employer know you’d be gone...then harvested a dandy buck 50’ from the road of the 2nd day. A reminder to be prepared as much as you can for any situation. Well done. Hope your boy has a speedy recovery.
