2024 deer. Let’s see um!

Southwest Wyoming buck. When they said deer numbers were down from the bad winter 2 years ago, they weren’t kidding. About a 75% reduction to what we normally see but all of the doe’s have fawns so hopefully a recovery will occur.

Oregon 2024 in the Ches.

2nd best buck I've seen in the unit over 8 days of scouting, and the other was on private. I've glassed this basin from the west side three times but decided to drop way down to a knob on the east side of it Sunday morning to avoid looking into the sun. Listened to the advice of Robby Denning on the Rokcast and have been getting to my glassing knobs 30 minutes before shooting light. Made a huge difference, if I had gotten in later I bet he would have spotted me getting down to the glassing knob.

Spotted him bedded on an east facing open slope below me 20 minutes before shooting light. Watched him feed around the end of the ridge and made the move down. Ended up spotting him again on a west facing slope at 260 quartering away and feeding. Butt scooched into a spot where I could get prone and see over the grass, dialed 0.8 mils and sent a 143 ELD-X his way. Hearing the "thwack" of the bullet hitting is incredible thanks to the suppressor. Easily able to spot the shot too.

Bang flop due to being a little high, went through spine and far shoulder. Bullet performed as expected, jacket and core separated and caught in the offside hide. He rolled 400 vertical feet down the slope. Thankful nothing broke off. Wound channel similar to all other kills with this bullet. Didn't get to look into the vitals, once I got three quarters off he started to slide downhill more and the last rear quarter was tough to remove being solo and with nothing to tie him off to.

2200' vert and 3.3 miles back to the truck, two trips. Used my @rainshadow1 knife to butcher. Performed great, really like the shape of the blade. Wish I had my worksharp sharpener for the second half though. My mistake.

And if you're wondering where they go all day, this is the bed I think he was headed to. Would have been hard to spot him anywhere on this slope, impossible in that bed.

Just saving your spot to add your success photo later. I would want the internet to run out of room before I posted my pic either. Smart very smart.

Exactly! I still have late muzzleloader and an Idaho whitetail tag. Just wanted to get my spot in line.

All jokes aside, great bucks everyone!
