Post by: Dan-o on September 21, 2011, 02:33:11 PM: No disrespect to the bear hunters, but those bucks look like they'd kick the crap out of those bears in a fair fight.

What bruisers. I'm pretty green with envy but too old and fat to hike that far anymore.

Thank you for sharing.

internet hunters beware! we had a whole camp up there in the pasayten for two weeks (some still in there) and the deer were few and far between. the work to find deer like these is alot and it says alot that these guys bagged two nice ones. well done guys. i went purely for camp and grouse hunting... let me tell you grouse was amazing.

Post by: C-Money on September 26, 2011, 10:51:16 AM: Great story. Congrats on a great hunt. I really enjoyed the part about the squeezing the trigger with a flinch and the safety being on. The safety saved me a few years ago as I did the same thing. Calm nerves, deep breath, thank the Lord for having that safety on and giving a second chance, Dirt nap.
