I can post some more pics through my spotter if guys don't mind.

I vote more pics! That buck is a tank! Did you send a tooth in to be aged?

We don’t mind. I love seeing NW MT toads.

Found a couple toads but couldn't get it done so ended up with an easy meat deer. Colorado 3rd season.

What a blessing to be able to hunt and spend time in Creation. Spotted this buck on public land at around 0845 tending a handful of does and with a satellite buck in tow.

Deliberated what move to make with swirling winds and thick canyons. Ended up pulling a long safe stalk that would put me within 200 yards. Long story short, they jumped ridges and caught me. No shot.

I went up the ridge they were on to rehab and think about life decisions. Within a few minutes I saw his lead doe moving across a ridge at 450 yards. The bucks harem worked the same trail one by one while I got set and dialed way up! Pretty soon the buck followed and stood broadside. I had to collect my breath more than once - but executed a perfect shot and watched him fall.

Hard to adequately describe how big he was on the hoof. I can post some more pics through my spotter if guys don't mind. He looked like a donkey on the hillside.

I had my .25-06 on this hunt, good thing because I shot him at 643 yds.View attachment 967298

He looks like he ate the other deer on that mountain
