I dont want to get to carried away with a story yet because I still a month of hunting left to go but here are a couple of pics to get the season started. I will say he was shot in not a very nice place to be and we all earned this buck. Dan shot this deer at about 40 ft with a smith and wesson 243. Perfect way to start out the season.

Nice rack

Damn good buck! Sometimes when you find that place you "Shouldn't be" and it works out......You will just find yourself back there again someday!!! LOL Funny how that works!!

I love those God-forsaken spots. They hold Godly deer!
Those are my favorite spots to hunt, because they tend to get very low pressure. Whether it's the high mountains or the far reaches of the desert, I love to hunt where others are reluctant to go. Congrats on a great deer.

Thanks guys for all of the kind comments. The wife will be home any minute and off again for some glassing this afternoon. Be home monday for a little while and then back to the grindstone. I know I will be back in the hell hole agian because I know there are at least two more bucks in there, one of which is a monster. Hoping I can put the j107 back to work agian. Best of luck to everyone this weekend.

Good job. Get some more.

Hunting this weekend was great, although a guy got to my buck the day before and he ended up being 30 in wide with some really nice forks. Maybe in the low 190 range. Oh well that is what I get for having to work I guess. Anyway the rest of the time was great I saw 3 bucks on sat all of which were legal and nice but they will be much better next year and am wanting to hunt 388 all of next week so I didn't pull the trigger. I almost did on a 4x4 about 20 in wide with shallow forks but I guess he will be a nice 150 buck next year. Then the elk, my god they were everywhere. this weekend I saw 2 HUGE six points, 2 five points, 2 two points and 4 spikes and of course many many cows and healthy looking calves. No compaints from me.
-
Bummer that they got to him before you...Good luck in the 388 hope you knock down another stud.
-
Congrats on your buck. It's nice to see a lot of animals when hunting. Especially when you are humping up down steep nasty stuff. Keeps one motivated. Again congrats. Heck of a deer
-
thats a good lookin deer was it with a ibolt or r-25 smith and wesson just asking because i want a r-25 in 243 and was just wondering how much he likes it and how well it shoots if it was indeed a r-25
