This year's hunt would find me in unfamiliar territory. A unit I have never hunted, and a backpack hunt that I have never attempted. Well, we never saw another human being, and we saw quite a few deer. My son and I put 3 bucks to bed the day before the season would open. As the sun rose on Friday we spied the bucks in their beds. My son decided he would try for one of them. One 500 yard shot from my 300 mag and he had his buck. Saturday was pretty slow. Sunday morning we found the other 2 bucks that my son's buck was running with. I picked the better one and settled in for the shot. As he rose from his I shot and missed. I had another chance and made it count. 375 yard shot and my buck was down.
Don't overlook these "leftover" tags. The hunting is terrific, and good bucks can be found. You just have to put in the effort
