Well my last outing of the year was August 10th and 11th, only 1 week before the opener. I found some of the same deer I'd been watching all summer as well as a couple of new bucks that were pretty nice.

Couple of pretty nice bucks in these pics, worthy of the tag???

Also found this cool looking Antelope...

And finally some video of my cool non-typical 3-point. Notice anything different about him?
Yea that's right, the bil ole 3-point has lost his big cool DROPPER. Bummer, I would have shot him if I had the tag, but he now dropped off my "hit list".

Would the big non-typical break "cover" for the 2nd time on OPENING DAY???

I'd gladly put a tag on a couple of those, namely the one licking his back, and a coule in the video. Nice bucks for sure. --------SS

Well with just a week before opening day, I showed my pictures to my 'buddy' with tag. He really had his heart set on trying to kill the big non-typical. So I said I'd be there to try and help him out opening day and see what we could do.

Then with less than a week before the opener things changed, WHAT THE HECK. Are you KIDDING ME? My buddy decides to try for a different buck opening weekend. Are we/he NUTS?

So you guessed it, opening day found my buddy in a different area after a different buck and found me at home wondering what the heck I was going to do. Oh well that's hunting right. I elected to pass on another scouting trip for the opener, I could only be out the 1st day anyway as I was back in school and very busy.

So what happened opening day? Would the big non-typcial survive? I had my doubts.

My friend texted my and called with a rumor that a big non-typical was killed opening day that was rumored to score around 220"
Some how I just knew it was the HIM. I just had a gut feeling he was killed, but I had no confirmation from anyone and most importantly no PICTURES to prove.

It took 3 weeks before I would know for sure and here is the conclusion to my search for "COVER".

Yes the Big Non-Typical broke "cover" opening day, not only did he break "cover", he made THE COVER.

He was arrowed at 1st light from a very close distance by a guy named Garth Jensen.

I've heard 3 different scores on this tremendous buck. 222", 220", & 218"

I'll go with the one in the middle. 220"

Wow...that buck turned out AMAZING! It sounds like someone else was watching him closely as well. Did your friend tag out? Thanks for the posts on this thread, it has been a fun ride.
