Figured I’d post my 2019 bucks here.
First was Idaho where I was invited to hunt with Karl. It was a great week and on day 4 I connected with the buck we spotted and couldn’t get in for a shot on day 1.
Then was back to WA where I spent the last 3 days of general season sitting in the rain passing small bucks and does (had a second tag). There wasn’t many does around so I elected to eat that tag in hopes of bringing the numbers up a bit. None of the older bucks showed for a shot that season so all I got was a coyote.
Late buck I was in the same spot and not a lot moving opening morning, opening evening with 30 min of light left I saw some does 800 yards out. Then a buck joined them and started pestering them, I glassed him up and saw a heavy frame, good brow tines and an older deer. Raced to cut the distance and 2 shots from 360 yards was all it took. First shot lunged him but he was still on his feet so I finished him in the neck. The little 6 creedmoor just doesn’t have the pop of the 300 win with 215 Berger’s. Strange it’s less than half the bullet weight and starting 40 FPS slower.
Glad to get another older 5+ year old 4 point out of the population.
