been a hectic year, 6 weeks of hunting every morning before work and every night, scared to even think of the money I spent on gas, most of it consentrted on one specific buck, I have hunted him hard for 2 years had so many close calls but no luck, this am we had a foot of fresh snow, everyone said I was a idiot going out but I did, after a couple hours of glassing I spotted him in a small slough, I came around and he was gone, I watched him go for 2 miles then go into a huge lake bottom, I figured I had him, wind was right and fresh tracks, I tracked him for 3 hours and ended up the same place and seen him a mile across the lake bedded watching me, i was had it, i decided to check out a new area were a supposed 200" typ was running, after a few hours I spotted him in a pea field, I figured a 180 class but I l0oved the way he flared out, Being upset from morning I decided to go after him, after a 1/4 mile stock in a open pea field I came up a draw crawling, soaked from head to tow by the melting snow, I crested the hill and seen him bedded with 7 does I ranged at 167 set the crosshairs a little high knowing it drops 4 inches at 150 and boom, he toppled over, I had to finish him off becouse i spined him but could not figure out why, the bullet hit the shoulder blade and followed it deflecting it back, took out the spine and lodged under the skin new his rump, I am amazed it did not shatter the shoulder blade,maybe becouse he was laying down , oh well he is down and my 6 week hunt is over, its my best mulie ever, he will make the sask record books,and the longhunter books, not to many in our farmland area does, my buddy who is a official scorer for B&C quickly put the tape on him as we skinned him, he got 185 gross, he will loose 4 inches or so,he is right on the 30'' outside, I will not enter him or get him officially scored,does not really matter to me, all I know is my hunt is over with a nice deer, now time to consentrate on yotes!!
