Might be the smallest buck in this thread, but I’ll throw this shot in the hat anyway

He was the culmination of the most physically demanding, and absolute favorite hunt of my life. The 5 mile, -3000 ft pack out with camp on my back too really put the cherry on top.

It's the hard hunts that are the most satisfying. As a friend's dad once said, "it's the same reason nobody marries a hooker."

2025 OTC Idaho Buck. First buck I’ve hunted completely solo. Found, harvested, and packed out solo. There’s really no more satisfying feeling than that.View attachment 959592

The ones you work for just mean a lot. The struggle makes the success just that much better. Love embracing the grind.
