. Some places you just have to walk by and act like they don’t exist even though you know a bucks gonna show up.

I gotta couple canyons like that. Badass country, but to hell with getting a buck up outta there

Good job to your pup! My girl found a buck for me a couple weeks ago.

Thank you she got lots of praise, she was a happy pup

Yeah I usually throw some glass up on those places and immediately think “that’d be a terrible idea”

Yup lol. This is about 3/4 the way down into the canyon. One of those that's deeper than it is wide. Screwed up and killed a few bucks in the bottom of it. I try real hard not to do that anymore though. Try hard not to look at the far side of the damn canyon either lol

My pops bought a non-res tag to come up and hunt with me. We passed a bunch of spikes, haven’t seen any forkys since last week. We saw a monster 4 on some private timber with no public access. Then found a funky bladed 3x3 dogging a doe hard. Tried to sneak in close, he shot it at 20-25 yards because they bedded right where they entered the trees. Dad wants to get a shoulder mount done for his first true Columbian blacktail. Pretty good time in the woods yesterday. View attachment 783154

I can't tell if that's his right eyeguard reflecting light or if there is a hole in the middle of that bladed out beam?

Right (and only) eye guard. Antlers look like a “forked moose”. Almost splitting into a 4x4 on both sides, back point was normal.
