hawkeye Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Opening morning found Kris and I with flashlights heading up and over the mountain that we had been scouting a couple of toads. As the sun peeked over the horizon we were making our way down a very steep cliff and through a sadle, Just one more small brushy point to make it to, and we would be looking down on the area we had been seeing them in for weeks. Just before we topped out a loud crashing to our right sent a sinking feeling through our hearts. We topped out and found that a doe and fawn we had busted, had circled and was running through the saddle right where the two bucks were. Yep four white flags were running up the opposite side at about 450 yds. After the all day trek my legs were like rubber that night. The next day found more of the same in a different area. This time it was a very large buck and a smaller nice buck. Well they busted before we got to them and the only shot I had, was of the smaller buck. My legs were gone, and it was a very long way back to the truck. My very good freind, Jason made his way to me and hauled the buck over his shoulder and back to the truck like a bull dozer. I owe a big thanks to him. It would have taken me forever to get off that mountain with that buck. Yesterday Kris and I went out after Kris got off work. We went to one of our favorite places and after about 5 minutes of glassing he found a bedded buck at 495 yards. He laid down on his 7mm Ultramag and dropped him. This was the last day we could hunt, so we were happy as heck. After killing ourselves for several days it sure was nice to have things come together on the last night. Instead of miles, we got the truck to within about six hundred yards of him. They arent giants but they aint babies either My buck shot last Saturday Kris's last day buck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
