Since Dinkshooter thought it was a good idea to spill the beans, I guess I'll have to tell the "whole" story. :rolleyes:

Opening day...plenty of snow, and even more shooting....:W:

My buddy Doug was supposed to arrive on Tuesday evening. I found this buck Tuesday afternoon, and decided he was good enough. Got set up and waited for him to get up out of his bed...:

...and then proceeded to haze him out of the country with gunfire. :W:

Hunted my way back to the truck, and while sneaking through an aspen stand I found this guy standing in his bed having a snack. Didn't miss. :cool:

Things I learned:

1) I need to shoot more in the offseason.
2) Dinkshooter doesn't have the stomach for big buck hunting.
3) Doug has nerves of steel, and passed bucks I would have killed opening morning:

Awesome buck, congrats!

The thread title had me a bit worried I might see a blond mullet and a cowboy hat.
 
Good lord you guys have some big deer down there.

Buck of a lifetime for most, but an annual occurrence for you it seems. You've definitely got something figured out, congrats.
 
Awesome buck Oak, do you think the one you poked holes in was a better all round deer then the one you burnt powder on.

I just love the way the first buck is casually lying there in his bed watching his back trail the way he come in on.

Lovely country/habitat to be hunting deer.
