I'm gonna take a guess of 127 straight up, none the less that is a great buck, congrats to the hunter

well the last day of my daughters hunt was quit exciting, started up the hill shortly after school right off the batcame across a giant coati tried to get a shot and forgot to flip up the scope covers oops, finally made it to a glassin spot and ten minutes later glassed up two bucks (one nice 3x3 one alot smaller) hop in the truck and got to a closer spot and tried to find the two bucks only to see them flaggin. Couldnt figure out why and then he showed up the giant. Got my daughter set up made sure she was steady and had the buck in sight, and then told her where to aim. After a short pause BOOM! And the buck flinched then I saw the blood coming from his left shoulder. looked like a great shot! I stayed on him but light was fading fast, so we watched untill we couldnt anymore, (the only reason we didnt track tonight this is in a rough area and no way to navigate at night0 then I called g&f to find out if we could go recover tomorrow even though the season was over they said it was, also called the unit manager and left a message as to the situation, so in the moring the recovery mission starts. this is by far the biggest buck i've ever seen after watching him im gonna say he'll tape out at 130 to 140! So keep your fingers crossed fellow couesers, and I'll keep you all posted!

well thanks elkaholic for understanding not wanting to navigate rough hills in the dark, we do plan on continued search for him even if its an attempt to locate him as my buddys gf has the hunt that is on right now and will be back in the area for the next several days, thanks amanda for the offer to help, we are still continueing the search as i am sick and realy want to find him even if he is still alive!

well guys the search didnt turn out so hot, we hiked in 3.5 miles up one of the steepest moountains out there and found the spot were the buck was standing, found just a couple drops of blood, needless to say Im glad we didnt try to navigate this in the dark we would have gotten lost in a heartbeat, after the last drop we marked it and started circling around it, nothing, went back to the spot and tried to follow the tracks and still turned up nothing, I had a buddy of mine down below to guide me to the spot and guide me down to where we last saw him and still nothing, I know i should of tried to search last night but due to the fact of the rugged terrain we didnt and I guess now were paying the price, hopefully he makes it through the year and we catch him out on the slopes sometime soon.

find a high spot and glass. Were seeing them first thing in the morning till bout 930ish then it shuts down totally ,the last few days been super windy, stay off of the roads take a long walk stay away from the other 474 hunters that have that tag. be prepared for some long shots too.

so I was out there all day today from dawn till dark on my daughters hunt glassed glassed and glassed some more started out with some does and then went cold switched spots and ran into a ton of hunters then more hunters and then even more hunters then when we finally got into a remote area weve known to hold some great deer nothing till we were on our way out, we must of went right by this buck on the way in (sneaky lil guys) but he jumped up and was on the run my daughter never got a shot nice big ole buck, dang it! lucky guy will live for now but tomorrow is the day for success.

weve been out alot and have seen some great deer this year so far my daughter has this hunt also, looked around the pinto valley turn off to the south but all I saw was alot of hunters getting set up so I guess its time to focus on some other areas I think!oops my bad my daughter has the first hunt that starts tomorrow
