Apatkelley Report post Posted October 14, 2012 Just about a year ago, I left my home in Vail Arizona and moved to Ammon Idaho. There aren't any coues here, so I've had to change gears and chase mule deer. Just got back from my first hunt and thought I'd share some pictures. I ended up shooting this buck at about 10,000 feet and didn't see another hunter. I packed in and made a small spike camp at about 9,500 feet. He ended up breaking a good chunk of one tine off as he tumbled down the steep slope. I spent quite a bit of time looking for it, but no luck. It's kind of nice to be able to buy a tag over the counter and go where you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZbowhntr Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Great buck. I am sitting in the airport in Idaho Falls right now waiting for a flight back to AZ. I was trying to work in a couple days hunting but it didn't work out. Idaho is one of the last states that you can buy a tag and hunt most of the state and shoot a great buck. Congrats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apatkelley Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Congrats. I never shot a buck like that while I was in ID. What part of the state did you hunt? I hunted the Birch Creek area about an hour and a half North West of Idaho Falls. It was nice looking country, but I was surprised at how few deer I saw.
