12A Muzzy Success

Recommended Posts

My partner and I got lucky and bagged a couple of decent bucks. I shot the first one on Sunday at 150yards one shot dropped right there....the next day i guided my partner in the same area and we glassed a fork horn 376 yards across the canyon. At this point he was open to harvest whatever God gave him....we snuck in unnoticed to 276 yards and that buck got up to stretch...when he got up a couple of does and this bigger buck got up too...we quickly forgot that forky and my partner sealed the deal with my 50 cal T/C omega using BH209 and Hornady SST 250gr. He dropped like a ton of bricks.

 

The pack out was a nightmare but as you guys know once it's in the truck and you have a cold beer in hand it's all good and the high fiving begins.....

 

Overall it was a great hunt...I love that area. I was actually on that nice 7x5 with the awesome left side a couple days before the opener...but we got 5" of snow and i lost track of him...glad someone got to harvest that toad. I was in the area when they took him...looks like he didn't stray far from where i spotted him.

 

I learned a lot of great lessons on this hunt. About hunting, about animal behavior, about the hunting unit, and about my partner (save that for another thread lol). Hopefully it doesn't take me 8 yrs to draw again.

 

Special thanks to Lance on this site for providing me with some sage advice about how to adjust with the changing hunting dynamics and providing great encouragement. Hunt had some ups and downs but ended on an up for sure. I owe you one Lance!

Anytime Miles. Glad you guys got it done and didn't let the slow times get you down. Thanks for the updates throughouto your hunt. Seems like I had a lot of time and fellow hunters and new friends I was trying to help out from down here this year, and I think most, if not all, connected.
