sureshot Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 my film was no good on the camera, drove to the city today to get it developed and the pics were all underdeveloped,I got a few taken on the front lawn with a crappy 20 digital so here they are! We were drivign down a road from the mornign of watchign for elk[got a cow tag] my duaghter yelled out there is soemthing running up the hill, I stop and look back and 2 bucks are trotting up a hill, I give them about 10 minutes to crest the hill and off we went on foot,we walked or ran the 800 yards to were the were last seen, wind in our fac3e, crested the hill and seen, a draw were I missed a big buck with bowlast year[actually you all might rememebr me postign about it, he stood up just as I shot and arrow right underneath him] wesetup on the hill glasign and then we spot a nice 160 class buck across the draw abotu 200 yards my dauhgter is on it and following waitign for it to stop but would not ,then I look to the far end and see thsi buck with the sun reflectign behind, looked moster with the deep fronts and width , I knew he was at least a 180 in animal btu at 300 yards is he 180 or 200 how can you tell in a couple seconds,I put the scope on and seen he was the buck I missed last year and had a shed from thsi spring, no hesitation, boom he droppedI think I was looking at his headgear couse it was a perfect neck shot lol, I finally got lucky!! As we got up to him I felt alot of sorrow, I have had a one on one with this guy now for just about 2 years felt awsome to finally connect but on the other hand sad couse it was over!!he grosses 184 and nets 178, not as big as soem I have been seeing but the biggest got in this area this year and its the time me and him have spent together in the pasture, him always beating me! we then tried to fill my daughters tag, she passed up quit a few smaller bucks then at 2 oclock seen a buck running about 20 does and she said Iwill take him so we got within 220 yards and one shot it was over,here are a coupelpics!
