After spending the summer looking at manny fantastic bucks, and then watching the archery hunters have an outstanding year, I started this hunt on a very skeptical note. Thursday I got rained out while scouting a brand new spot. Only turned up one buck. Dink about 70 inches. We spent all day looking for a shooter, but could not find anything over 75! I was really doubting this hunt Opening day found us changing our game plan several times. I decided we needed to hit some foot access only areas and hopefully turn up a buck or two that we had not seen before. I made two stalks on bucks that looked to have potential, but could not make myself pull the trigger. On my third stalk my luck changed. I belly crawled to within 96 yards from a heavy little short buck that probably scored 72. I was really thinking about shooting him when something made me look back over my shoulder. On the ridge behind me stood a true 85 inch stud with 6-7 does. I started crawling their way, and they were walking towards me. I had him at 362 yards, but thought I only had my muzzleloader dialed in out to 300. After an hour of crawling they were behind a berm at 200. I don't know how it was possible but the next time I saw them they were walking back up the hill again at 350!! Dang it. I followed them over the hill to watch them go across a flat and on to private property, and gone forever!! Just my luck! I met up with a couple buddies in town to regroup and recharge! After lunch we hiked back in the 3 miles to where I liked to glass. We found another buck that looked long, had descent mass, and cutters. We decided to take a closer look. Again after an hour plus stock, and belly crawling through the 2 foot tall grass I was 330 yards away from him and his does. I decided to army crawl 30 more yards and that was as close as I could get in the spot I was in. The buck stepped out broadside and I knew that I would have a very difficult time getting better in this unit on this year! Shooting from prone was an impossibility due to the grass. I leveled my 300 yard dot on my shooting sticks took a breath and let the muzzleloader eat. Solid whack! He went down!! Happy birthday to me!! After a very long, and at times disappointing pre -season, I am very pleased with the end result! He ended up green scoring 78 and 4/8. I will take it!!! Good luck to the new friends I made during this hunt! Whitey

My 13 year old son has this tag. Probably not hunting close to there, but might stop in and say hello.

Fantastic job Hunter!! Well done. I too had watched that buck over the summer and I AM EXSTATIC that she was able to harvest him.

I was told as of today..... You have to obtain a federal archery permit, pay trespass to the blm and Forrest service,inform G &F where you will be scouting and for how long! If they grant permission you are ok. ( sorry, just stirring the coals.....been that kind of day)

Congrats Casey. Well done

Yes, I am the guy you scouted sheep with when you were 6! Man I feel old!!!!!! Your Grandfather taught me as much about hunting as any man alive. He is another blessing in your life!!!! Be sure to tell him often. Whitey
