i have had a pretty good season, we got a coulpe of 4 points back in youth season me and my friend and now i went out with my dad yesterday and brought back another buck.
we headed up to our normal spot we had been seeing a few deer, but gathered that from all the hunting pressure in there over thanks giving weekend, the deer would be looking for somewere to hide. the leaves were all down from the aspens and so we figured to check a ways over were they may have moved into to find cover.
we were quading down an old trail there and i got a tingly feeling that i needed to hike up a ridge i spotted, trusting my instinct i crept up and over as quietly as possible and sure enough just over 150 yards there were several deer making there way up the next ridge. i counted 4 does and a small buck before i spotted this buck, and i took a look at his antlers and counted 4 tines before pulling the trigger as i wasn't looking for a small buck. the deer bucked itself up into the air and landed on its back, i was very happy when i got up to him and realised he was almsot a 5x6, thats right about when i let out a big wooohhoooo
now for the pics..
