azhamill Report post Posted May 21, 2015 So this was a few years back, we helped some buddy's on a early-season hunt. When we seen this stud he was a ways off and on the tip-top of the Mountain. I was surprised when we said let's go get him they just looked at us like we where crazy! I ask don't you want him, they replied hes not worth us dying. It was Purdy bad but this is what you wait for all year or your hole life. So as the story goes they never Tried. With that being said we had the same unit but the late nov hunt. We were in there every weekend before the are hunt. We knew that buck better than he knew himself so on opening day my dad got up at 1 AM and left camp just so he could beat that buck to the spot. I was cross Canyon looking just in case that buck wanted to do something different that day. So my dad called me on the radio and said I'm 70yrds from him but I can't shoot I said and why is that because I got bighorn sheep in the way. This buck and three others would always seem to be with these rams crazy. So he waited and took pictures of the deer and rams. Next I hear ka-boom! And my dad on the radio he is down. All I got to say is when my old man does something its 110% Oh! And he hates pictures so that's why I'm there Whoops thought I had more pictures I'll find them and post 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azhamill Report post Posted May 21, 2015 And the icing on the cake was just the next year my dad's buddy drew that unit for desert big horn sheep. He took the ram that this deer would always be around. He actually shot the ram only 100yrds from where we got the buck. You want to talk about creatures of habit. I'll post pics of the ram soon we had to rappel down to get the ram 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelhead Report post Posted May 22, 2015 Whoa! Beautiful buck. Nice ram too! Not too sure if it was luck that the ram stopped on that little ledge. How far would he have fallen if not for the ledge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Report post Posted May 22, 2015 Stellar buck. Thanks for sharing and congrats to your Dad. That ram couldn't have fallen in a better place! Crazy. Must have been an ordeal and a lot of rope to get him off that ledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
