Wide Drexler And The Pine Marten That Stole My Heart

[Oak]

Nice job, and beautiful buck! You took the time to learn an area and probably draw a tag somewhat frequently, which I think is a much better strategy than putting all of your eggs in a OIL basket.

You and that pine marten made me late getting back to work and it was worth it. Great report, photos and buck, congratulations!

 

[Hunting Wife]

Great story and pics! Glad all your time and work paid off. That’s a great buck.

Great on every front! Congrats and good on you for hanging in there. These are the best types of stories!

You are too kind sir. Can I decline the knife collection and have some of his IQ points instead? I desperately need them.

Sorry @trb those IQ points are both needed and spoken for, you did happen to read @DouglasR ’s thread didn’t you

Fantastic story and pics and big congrats on a very well earned first buck or any buck for that matter!
It’s always great to become so involved with a given area and have it pay off like that

Heck of a first buck and I envy your scouting opportunities.

First stalk success? Pretty rare. Sgn of a well planned outing.

Bet you learned sumptin from losing some meat. Live and learn...

 

[Elmacho]

WINNING! I heard that somewhere...lol.

Well, you are going to have a tough time beating that, but thats all the reason to keep going. Great way to work that from scouting to harvesting and write-up.

Very nice write up and very cool buck. Congrats!

 

[BrentD]

Love the story and you certainly put the effort into finding that buck. But I would love to see a pine marten and would gladly give up a chunk or two for the opportunity. Plus, he made are REALLY good title for your thread.

Congratulations!

It was already great, then the nod to Clyde the Glide, just perfect.

 

[Dougfirtree]

Congrats! That was fun for me too.

 

[rtraverdavis]

Yeah, this is a Top Five hunt recap for me. The work put in, the learning experience, and an amazing payout. Congratulations on an incredible and well-earned buck, and thank you for writing up the story the way you did!

Congrats on an awesome high alpine buck!! Thank you for sharing. I feel your pain on the pine marten. He had a similar experience last year on my elk hunt.
