My brother and I had a fun backcountry hunt. We packed 7 miles in with one day to scout and were able to each locate a buck we'd be happy with. My brother's buck actually stripped his velvet the night before season.

That is a very unique and cool looking rack!

Deer opener turned into a wolf hunt within the first hour. After running out the pelt to get checked and into a freezer, I rode back in. Next morning, I went in after another wolf and found this guy. This buck had just shed velvet, and his white &red antlers immediately stuck out. I passed on him and just watched as his horns browned up as the blood dried. Being sick, I decided I didn't have much energy to change areas. After a few hours, I figured had misjudged him (turns out I didn't). Unfortunately, he bedded and I had to sit for 3½ hours as rain and snow moved in. Weak mains really hurt his score. 28"wide, 5"+bases, 173¾". He sure was purty from the front, though! Just sad deer season lasted two mornings...

Dang… you almost passed him? Tell me you’re from a state with good hunting without telling me you’re in a state with good hunting. He’s a beaut!!
