Congrats on an awesome buck! I was anxiously waiting to see what you’d put your tag on. And 17 days is impressive...

It takes hard work to stay after it for 17 days. Dealing with the emotional ups and downs. Persistence and emotional resilience paid off. Great buck!

As others have said; 17 days in a row...is a CRAZY long time to stay focused! You must've passed up a lot of decent bucks to wait for that one. Great job staying with it!

What a gorgeous buck, well worth waiting 17 days for and who knows how many years before you drew the tag.

Damn, good for you. I think I might have the stones to pass on the first buck, but I never would have made it past the one in the snow. My hunt would have been over...
