My little brother took this buck last night, 10/26/04 in Southern Utah.
A 3x4, I was with him and watched him shoot him. Was a great time!

Ain't everything about hunting great !!

Congrats to your young man, MM, and to all you guys who have tagged one this year. Even if you don't score (I have been skunked many times), the sport itself is the real thrill and the reason for all the excitement.

Best regards to all,

Yet another buck,
Brad Shakespeare holds a heavy 3-point his brother took in Southern Utah on Monday 10/25/04. I love the dark black color of the antlers.
Had a huge body and massive neck size.

Holy Cow!

look at the mass on that pig, that is what i would call a trophy muley, man i like those heavy horned dudes! I had no idea that deer that size existed in the thermop area. I know they produced some good deer, but for the love of god, that is impressive.

You've been thru the Big Horn valley and seen 'em yourself. Those alfalfa fields, cold water, and steep canyons make the antlers grow huge.

I was fortunate enough to have helped our boy with his stalk by glassing the deer for him and helping him maneuver around into shooting position. The big rascal had laid down and disappeared when right before dark, he stood up about the time he was spotted. That white rump makes a good target when the light is growing dim.

One shot......dead fold.

Great buck. That's the one I was looking for up in Wyoming this year. Unfortunately he kept his head, from sight!

Side note: That buck would actually be scored as a nontypical. Great deer though, either way! Congrats.
