Rharris Report post Posted November 16, 2009 What an awesome hunt with my husband and my son! We saw so many deer and passed on several bucks. When we saw this one, we really didn't know how big he was, but we knew he was a shooter. We bumped him on day one and could only locate his buddy that was with him, so we decided to back out that evening. We knew he would be in the same area the next morning, so we went right back in where we had seen him and started glassing. We went in slowly, glassing as we went, and ended up on the same ridge we were the night before. We quickly found the buddy that had been with him, but still could not locate the shooter. We even spotted a small forked horn bedded nearby. The buddy (a small 3x3) was bedded in a spot that soon would have sun on it, so we planned to wait for him to get up and move. We were hoping this would instigate the big buck to get up and move as well, as we still could not see him. After about an hour of watching them, suddenly, the shooter stood up. We were still 400 yards away. I shot and did not make a lethal shot, but he was now anchored. My shot was a little bit to the right. We snuck closer and had to try several different angles to get another shot on him, as he was bedded under brush at a challenging angle. Finally, we found a spot at 257 yards and I rolled him in his bed. We have green scored him already. What's your guess? I am also up for Extreme Huntress for 2009.

Coach Report post Posted November 16, 2009 Great job Marcy - already voted for you, but you rock. I sure hate trying to cyber-guess a score without having the rack in my hands. It's unusual for a buck's G3s to beat his G2s so it's even more complicated. My first impression of this buck is 96-ish. Given the main beam length and symmetry, I'd say it has potential to go 102 befor deductions. So those of you with benefit of the tape - what's the shake-down?
