It scored around 150. Won't have it scored cause its considered a mule deer where it was shot.  It was all blacktail. Tail, nose, ears....  Oh well, nice buck regardless and his biggest to date.  Couldn't be happier!

Rattled and grunted this one in!

The story to the picture above.

Idaho Deer Hunt 2010
This has been the fifth year hunting Idaho for deer.  I love the fact that I can archery hunt in WA and hunt Idaho (modern) during the rut for whitetails.  I pay the out-of-state price and it’s well worth it!  We arrived in Idaho Nov. 12 and stayed one week.  I rattle, grunt, and use the doe bleat religiously.  I found an area just chewed up with scrapes and rubs.  I knew there was a nice buck hanging around in there somewhere.  My brother and I set up in the icky-thicky on a hill side with two shooting lanes reaching out to 100 yards.  My brother was sitting down out of site rattling very aggressively.  As he finished rattling, I would grunt a few times and use the doe bleat.  After three sequences of calling, this buck came charging past the first shooting lane and I briefly saw the dark tines moving past.  I immediately aimed at the second lane waiting for this guy to cross.  It worked out perfect.  He came to the second lane and stopped looking for a fight.  Fearing that he would wind us, I quickly pulled the trigger.  We went up the hill expecting the deer to be dead right there but he wasn’t.  There was no blood and we found a clump of about 20 hairs.  I had that sick feeling in my stomach thinking that maybe I just nicked him even though the shot felt good.  After thirty minutes of looking, we stumbled across him about 70 yards away.  I guess I’m still Oneshot.  He scored 158.

I could have shot him in the road but didn't think he was that big but when he turned i saw he was bigger than i thought just then he ran off the road when i got to the spot he was and looked in the canyon he went i thought i would never see him again!!  just then he appeared across the canyon 250+ yards away i got a fair rest saw he was a 4 point and shot hitting him high in the shoulders putting him strait down then 4 hours of packing meat on a deer i could have shot in the road!
