2011 was a fun year of hunting. My sister did a guided hunt with Pat Sinclair and shot a 16" pronghorn, this mule deer, and an elk in 3 days of hunting. That year I'd drawn an eastern MT elk permit, and jumped this buck while hunting public land. I didn't shoot, and ended up tracking him in a skiff of snow for almost a mile before getting a 2nd chance. He caught up with a group of does and decided to chill out. Not an old buck, just a smidge under 180, really had some potential, and scored well for how young and light antlered. Fun day of hunting.
