How did you folks do hunting Vail this late buck? I heard that there were several dandies shot up there and I saw a big buck coming out on the top of a Jeep yesterday. My kid and I drove up this afternoon to talk to my buddy at the check station and get the scoop but the snow must have spooked them all off. :chuckle:

I biked in on Thursday and got a two pt, was a heck of a pack out, straped him over my bike an pushed him out about 4 miles was wooped by the time I got to my truck, But well worth it

I biked in yesterday morning. At 11:00 AM on the way out I found a button buck 150 yards from my truck. I normally wouldn't shoot one so young but so close to the truck....... it sure beats tag soup. :)
-
After about 11 AM the whole place was pretty much empty where I was at and the snow was comin down hard! The deer were movin hard as well and I put one of my dads buds on a buck put he couldnt see him through the scope because the snow was comin down so hard and his lense kept fillin up with snow lol oh well he was excited to at least see a buck since it was the first time hes hunted deer in 2 years. Hadnt been up there in a couple years and it wasnt easy findin a mature patch of timber..cant wait for the 24th!

i wanted badly to go look around today in hopes of filling my tag, but i couldnt sleep at all last night so i chose to stay home & be safe.
got a few hours of shuteye and went to the gunshow instead.

3x3 Blacktail I took in Vail on Saturday November 20th, 2010 at 8am off the 1060. Put my 16 year old daughter on a nice spike this morning in Vail as well but it was moving too fast for her to transition from binoculars to rifle scope to get a good shot before it made the tree line. No matter, she has her own hunting story to tell now. :)

we had a nice 3pt shot right out from under us during late buck MF in Vail, off 1060 road. the buck was downhill 350 yds from us and dipped into a ravine before my partner could shoot. So he had to wait for the 4 does and buck to make their way up and over the finger ridge above the ravine. Partner got his rifle well rested, I was still binoc'd and we waited...
just a minute earlier, a truck had driven in on the road below us that takes off from 1060. Dang, we have been on stand since before daylight. We watched the 4 does that were in front of the buck reappear on our finger ridgeline and make close the distance to 250 yards. The buck was behind them aways and still was not in sight. About the time the buck's antlers-head appeared, the buck went down as the rifle report followed.
>>>VAIL: you love it and hate it!<<<
I passed on a couple small bucks there in late season Modern but still holding out for a racker. now late archery season and hopefully the Nile or western WA will be lucky for me before mid December...when the steelie fishing starts

I got this buck opening morning of late buck after riding my bike in for a couple of miles. Didn't get back to the truck until dark. Do to the cold and rain my camera died so I didn't get any good field photo's.(http://[img])[/img]
