The 8 Year Wait...

I know. I may regret it and if I see him again I’m going to shoot him. I’ve been looking forward to this hunt since I drew the tag. Wasn’t ready to be done.

Been trying to beat my dad’s buck from the mid 80’s. It hangs in my entry way as a coat rack. Chasing the man he was and the animals he shot.

How about a side by side pic of the two?
 
T'ain't no dink forky... And here HT keeps saying there aren't any good mule deer bucks anymore.
Assuming this is the tag I think it is....I think it just goes to further show the huge decline in MT mule deer quality. This is a great buck no doubt, but to only see one of this caliber on a LE tag that for most folks is less than 5% draw odds, is really eye opening.

You’re spot on and I’ll have more on that as well when I get some time.

I saw 5 bucks killed by tagholders sat-mon. Many of them were 3-4 days into their hunt. After looking over a lot of bucks they were happy with these caliber bucks. Not crapping on their deer by any means, it just kind of shocked me.

Beauty is in the eye of the tagholder. I had a lot higher hopes going into the hunt. Big ones get shot but a lot of them are coming of one area of private or by folks that higher the local guides that are out all day spread out across the unit.

I ran into one of the guides that also had a tag the morning I shot the buck buck. He had a tip on him and was going to try and find him that evening. He tried killing him in archery but skimmed his back. That was miles away up in the top of the area. He asked me if he had a wound on his back and there was.

No complaining here. Thankful for the opportunity but I agree. When people told me it’s not what it used to be I should have taken them a bit more serious.
 
They used to pull a tooth at the check station, did they pull one? If not, will you send one in? Curious on his age.

Yeah, the check station was closed when I drove through this morning but I have an envelope with instructions. I’ll pull it and send it in soon.
