Buckhunter Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Well opening weekend was quite exciting. My brother and a friend of ours, and I saw lots of big deer and elk. My brother Jeff put the smack down on his first Utah buck later in the morning. The next day I was feeling under the weather. I ended up coming down with some kind of respatory infection. So I was in no hunting shape. My lungs hurt bad. So we packed up and went home. The following week I sent my wife and kids to Indiana for eight days and went to work. I had 4 days off so I through my gear in and made a bee-line to Utah. I was felling good. I got their and I only saw 3 hunters on the whole mountain. Next morning I got up to a trail in a new area and saw lots of does. I had a good feeling something was gong to happen. I got abot 150 yards from the truck sneeking trough the aspens on a cow trail and saw a doe lying down. I started to get my camera out when she stood up and was looking to her right. Throught the trees I could see horns. The buck stood up and was facing me at 25 yards. I knocked and arrow and slowly drew back. I only had a 3 to 4 inch gap between the trees to shoot throught. Well my arrow flew true and blasted right throught the chest. As he ran past me at 20 yards with the fletching sticking out I knew he was mine. He ran aout 80 yards down hill I went to my truck and got my pack frame and got him to the truck in 10 mins. Not a big buck but a good way to start off te season. I'm now 3 for 3 in Utah.
