2014 Bucks, Post them here

[boneaddict]

Its about time for our annual thread.   I know there are monsters already hitting the ground in other states, and God willing, our seasons are about to get underway here.

Lets keep a running list of all the bucks killed by our members on here for 2014.

Post a pic or 2 and a brief story here and we'll see what we've got at the end of the season

My 2014 Nevada buck. My friend and I (Elkgetr2 on HuntWA) left home last Wednesday after work with 2 buck tags and high hopes of big bucks. Drove through the night and arrived to our planned area to hunt about 8am the next morning. Made a 3 day weekend scouting trip in July with some good pointers from a few more than generous Hunt WA members. (Much thanks Hockman!) Mid day of day 1 we spotted my buck and 2 other bucks of similar size in one basin. I put a sneak on this buck and closed the distance to 100 yards but ended up sneaking away due to changing conditions and darkness coming quickly. We spent the following 2 days watching the same 3 bucks waiting for an opportunity to capitalize. After sitting and glassing all morning on day 3 with not seeing any of the bucks we spot my buck. I made a 4 hour stalk and was 53 yards from where I knew he was bedded but was unable to see him. After a 30 minute wait I was able to see antler tips moving. He was up and feeding in the super tall brush but I could only see antlers. I could barely hold my rangefinder still as I attempted many times to get a range on a nearby bush. 43 yards. Just as the buck stepped into the open I holstered my rangefinder on my hip and he pegged me. Mostly hidden behind a wall of the thickest nasty green brush I have ever crawled through I drew my bow back half knelt down. My knees shook as a stood up trying my best to hold my 40 yard pin on his vitals through the brush. As soon as my pin cleared the brush I fired an arrow and dropped the buck in his tracks. My heart pounded as I attempted to run and fight my way to get to him as I could hear him thrashing but couldn't see him.Turned into a late night packing and a rough tailgate in the dark gross score of 188. Still over here hunting for a buck for my buddy, time to get back at it. Wanted to share a few words to go with my pictures. I wish everyone the best of luck this season! .

Buck down.  Dead before 8 am.  Shot him on the trot at 75 meters.    My son was more than stoked. First archery kill.  Now on to elk next week.  I'll post a story tonight.  Nice thanks Lamrith.  See below for pic.
