We were really fortunate that the area we hunt missed out on the bad winterkill that most of the rest of Eastern MT experienced.
I had the least amount of time, so was first up shooting, and took this buck out of the first herd we got on Saturday morning.
I probably did this buck a favor, he had a really bad abscessed tooth, and it was obvious he wasn't getting enough food down.
I hunted the rest of Saturday and Sunday with my dad, and was really impressed with the size of bucks we were seeing. The wet spring seems to have made for awesome horn growth, as we saw 5-6 bucks noticeably bigger than the one I killed.
Camp-
Some of the country we hunted-
My brother showed up Sunday night and I had to take his car and head back to the real world. All I've got so far is crappy cell phone pics, but the buck my dad ended up killing looks a little better than mine, and the one Barry killed looks significantly better. I'll get some pictures up of theirs when they get back tonight.
