    He was big last year but he got even bigger this year, this property isn't great for holding them but either way it's exciting to get pics like that! I've only got one buck higher scoring than him so far, and that one is +/- 160 we're guessing.

    So I got to my spot, rarely hunt this place, has old abandoned cabin. Obvious sign someone’s been in there foot prints and stuff. Tire tracks. So I sit in my stand and wait, here 10 mins later a topless female around 30 comes walking down the hill to 20 yards. I tell “can I help you”. She hits the ground hands up. 
    long story short, property owners brother said she could stay there (she’s homeless) property owner is pissed at her brother and her,  told her to get her shit out by tomorrow or she will be arrested. Fun times.

    Pic or it didn't happen.

    Nope. Saw lots of deer and quite a few bucks, but they were all dinks. Nothing I would care to put a tag on.

    It wasn't my kind of hunt, anyway.  They rode around, glassing huge clear cuts for 13 hours a day, with $6000 thermal imaging devices, without ever getting out of the truck. If a buck was spotted, the outfitter wanted me to use his 22lb bench gun to shoot 600-1000 yds. It might be legal, but completely against any ethics I have as a hunter. 

    My fault....I should have pressed him a bit more on his hunting style while booking the hunt. When he said spot and stalk, I assumed he meant walking to gain high ground, then glassing with traditional optics and then stalking to within 300 yds, for what I feel is an ethical shot at a game animal.

    I did get a bit serious about a very large chocolate phase bear with a blond muzzle, that I watched for a half an hour, sleeping under a young Madrone tree. He was easily well over 400 lbs., and, at 255 yds, well within my comfort zone and the 7-08 Montana. In the end, I just wasn't feeling it.

    No matter. In 10-12 days, I'll head up to my camp in Delaware county for the whole rifle season with the fellas, and the old 300 Savage 99F . Good times....

     

    Private ? public land? What unit?  I would not be happy hunting that way either.

    Am I seeing a little something extra on the back of his left antler?

    I tried looking up how many Levi has of the 29. Of course the thread immediately goes into everyone saying they could do it if they had the money . Jealousy and delusion, he shot one of his sheep over 100 yards,I don't care how much money you have ,it won't help you make that shot.

    get closer

  7. I enjoyed reading that thread. I've also read Gary Bogner's  and Chuck Adams book on NA 29, which I enjoyed.  For the amount of money they spent I think I could of had a lot more fun and done a lot more hunts that I would of enjoyed. I listened to a podcast Tom Miranda did, came away with the fact it was work for him and he did it to help him make money.
