Title: An old warrior is down (pic update)
Post by: blindluck on November 30, 2020, 09:25:31 AM

I tracked my buck over a mile then backed out before dark hoping to find him at first lite. I went back with only my bow, pack board, knives, game bags, rope and tag as it was going to be a long steep pack out. Thankfully I found him 100 yards from where I last saw him. I was so happy to walk up on this heavy horned old warrior

You the man! In that back pack pic the bases look enormous. Probably bigger than a red bull can!

Congratulations!  I like the mass! It reminds me of the buck I got a few years back in WA.   There are certainly some good genetics in parts of wa.

comparing his molars to my dad’s buck from last year that was 7 1/2 years old he might be a year younger at 6 1/2 but I will be sending his tooth in to know for sure.

I’m so grateful to be the lucky one to have such an opportunity on a buck like him. His heavy mass is what makes him the kind of animal we all strive for. Knowing he eluded so many hunters throughout many seasons I know I’m truly blessed.
