That one requires a little bit more of the story

I am waiting to here it. I know the deer pass below the rocks which isn't more than 40 yards from the back door.

Especially considering the velvet and the fact that the only seasons open right now that I know of are on private property

Just so you understand, the appearance from the photo is that your friend may have shot the deer with a .22LR, which is not legal in CO. The minimum caliber for big game hunting in CO is .24.

Looks more like a Ruger 44 carbine to me.

That's what I thought at first. It could be a model 44 in .44mag they look similar to the 10/22 I can't tell from the pic.

Mica man beat me to it.

Was not even aware those existed. Carry on. I have little interest in being an internet game warden anyway.

Im a home health nurse in sw Montana and every now and again you see a beast like this. Killed in the late 60s on land that was homesteaded generations ago and still allows random ppl to hunt to this day.

Was out looking for elk by myself. He jumped up close in the timber- looked at me, and all I could think of was steaks in the empty freezer...

2.7 miles in, 1200' up. Two trips to make sure my ankle didn't break when I eventually rolled it on the way down. Ended up with 81 lbs of meat in the freezer- anybody have a typical weight on what they get from a buck?

Was absolutely shot when I drove the first load back to camp. The massive 4+ pt in the headlights on that first drive back was salt in the wound. But I'm really glad I didn't see a bull back in there- I might still be up there.

85.5lbs of deboned meat was my low and 107lbs of deboned meat was my high. That’s pre trimming and packaging, but most of the bloodshot meat stays in the field. Packaged meat is probably 4-6lbs less, maybe 10lbs, I’m not sure. I don’t trim off much. I’ve only had one under 99lbs, and one over 103lbs, but quite a few in that window.

NICK87: Right on, 44mag Centennial
It is one sweet Lil rifle.

My oldest sons opening day buck. His best to date.

Andy,

That's a great buck! It was nice to see you again, and meet your boys. Maybe we'll see you again in ten (10) years in the same unit???

Headed out for a solo hunt last weekend. Good area with zero foot traffic (amazingly), and I had a big section of state land to myself. I bumped this buck still hunting into a stiff wind, and he was chasing a doe that walked within 30 yards of me. They looped out into thicker timber and she walked by again at about 40 yards, with him on her tail. He stopped to give me a broadside shot and that was that. 2.2 miles to the truck, two trips, and the cooler was full for the drive home.
