UAhunter Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Opening weekend was extremely tough, hot/full moon/tall grass. Didn't see much activity except for early morning and late afternoon. When we did see deer it was very sporadic , not a lot of deer doe or buck. Didn't have any time to hunt during the week, so my parents and I hit it hard the second weekend and our luck paid off. Still not seeing the amount of deer that we saw in years past, I was lucky enough to glass up a nice buck just over 475 yards bedded midday. I made the decision to shoot, I get down and rest on my pack, I squeeze off the first round.. Boom... MISS..... The buck stands and starts to move down hill.....boom.. HIT, as the buck is rapidly descending the hill I shoot again and he comes to rest at the bottom of the hill. Dad and i make our way down this incredibly steep country while mom glasses from above and we find my buck. Could not be any more thrilled!!!!

Jdubbs07 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Wow, what an awesome looking buck. Congrats to you. It's just like you said though, you got lucky on the second weekend of the hunt. I beleive no matter how hard you hunt or how good you are, even the best hunter still needs some luck. Looks like it paid off big time for you. What a stud buck!
