Idaho nonresident general deer. Got in, hunted hard, got it done. This hunt is always the highlight of my year. To be able to spend time like this with friends in beautiful country is a treasure.

Idaho solo backcountry buck general tag. Got the whole deer on my back here. Definitely felt it the next day!

2025 late Oct WY public land. Still in full velvet. First buck I've seen with full velvet that late

Watched him make this rub then walk up the hill and bed about 50 yards above. Took me an hour to get to him but he never moved. As luck would have it his final stumble out of his bed and the steep incline he slid down and stopped on a log right next to the rub. First OTC muley after 3 years of disappointment.

I was able to fill my second CA general tag on a great buck for the area. Super pumped and grateful for an amazing season.

Well after three years and passing a lot of smaller deer it finally happened. Idaho 2025 buck. Glasses him 1.7 miles away in a burn and stalked 3.3 miles to him. Never will forget this one.

That's some class A perseverance right there, especially coming out from PA. Congrats on your hunt - definitely looks like you worked your butt off on that landscape to get him.
