It's that time of year. Let's see those kills.

Just got back from helping a friend in Nevada got a toad of a Buck.
28" wide scored 202"+ has 23" extra and 20" of mass.
Was a brutal hunt 6 miles with 3000' elevation gain, spotted him 3 miles away first light parked the truck at 9:30am at 6800' and hiked to a ridge at 9700' made the shot at 675 yards 1 shot 1 kill its absolutely no way to get closer 600 yards of open ground between us and him. We had to gain another 100' to walk around the basin to the buck got him boned out and walked about 30 minutes in the daylight before it got dark.
We got back to the truck at 10:30 at night, it was an absolute blast, brutal but I would do it all over again tomorrow but this 64 year old body is SORE!!! LOL.
The pic on the right with the sun on the knob is were we glassed the buck from and the truck is in the bottom.

Shot the Buck from the knob in the back ground, this is why I laugh when people who have never hunted this way or the type of country say get closer.
These bucks don't get big like this from being stupid or easy especially early Oct.

Thank you, certainly is.
I've been on several of these type of hunts over the years I absolutely love it, just getting harder, takes me longer to get there but I can still which I feel fortunate but I try and stay in shape on my treadmill year around or I wouldnt be able too.
