I'm originally from Nelson, and I use to hunt the Jaffray area for whitetails alot too (down around lake Kookanusa). But I live in Prince George now, and that buck came from region 7.Originally Posted by Nooker77
As for the whole story on this buck, it was pretty simple. My friend had actually been hunting this buck for a few years now, and the buck would always be hanging around the same area, so we were familiar with his circuit. Anyway, where we were hunting is really thick and pretty ugly in terms of whitey country and there isn't a largre population there. So we were pretty much hunting this one buck in one spot. So we had found his tracks in the snow, and found some of his rubs in his favourite clearcut, so we put out a bunch of doe in heat scent. We would watch that cut each morninig and night and work the surrounding area during the day, but we weren't seeing much at all. One afternoon my buddy couldn't make it out for the hunt, so I went and sat in our lil blind overlooking the cut. About a half hour before dark the buck came out and started rubbing and scraping and checking the scents. My first shot was only about 125-150 yards but I managed to miss him broadside (a bit of buck fever maybe), then he ran a bit and stopped facing right towards me and I plugged him right in his chest. He didn't got too far after that. I quickly gutted him and skidded him down to the nearest road. And that was that.
