They don’t come easy with an arrow. Good work bud!

Appreciate it! The rain and low ceiling made for some crappy goat hunting but led to favorable stalking conditions down low.

Life doesn’t get any better than black tails above tree line.

Nice fork! Where I hunt the vast majority of the bucks were out of velvet by the second week of the season, which I thought was unusual. The last 3 years I recall seeing velvet bucks until at least late August. Wonder if it has something to do with the weather?

Beautiful buck. Will be dreaming of deer like that until next year
