I decided to end my season this morning when I peaked over the ridge and this little four point was feeding down below with some does.  I couldn’t be happier with my first whitetail!  This hunt far exceeded my expectations, and I worked my butt off chasing these guys.

Huge thanks to Rick, Brian, Cimmeron and my buddy Adam. 

372 yards with my Hells Canyon 28 Nosler hand loaded with 195 Berger’s absolutely crushed him.

Great job Travis.  You did have a great hunt.  The opportunity and the experience is what it is all about, filling the tag is just a bonus.  Glad you were able to seal the deal on a good buck.  372? That is stretching it out a bit, way to go.  Get that trailer off the hill before the snow gets there.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Way to go, Trav. Happy for you. It's such a fun hunt.
Just waiting on @Ridgerunner  now to see what he turns up.

Congrats!  Those late season whitetail permit hunts are super fun...cold weather, sometimes snow, usually plenty of deer, not many other hunters out...maybe not a huge buck, but a quality hunt in my book.
