Big Star Valley Buck: The Hunt is On!

Well here are a couple of pictures of a quality beast that I took friday, the day before opening day this weekend. Of course the buck was no where to be found opening morning, but would you ... if you were him?

I know the location so I am dedicating the rest of the season to killing him.
Hes got a date with ol' Bessie, my .300!

Hope you all like, what do you thin SRM? Not bad for Star Valley? Any guess on BC score?

Good luck to all,

JHoseman.

P:S i will try and post a 25 sec clip too.

SRM,

Did you go out Saturday? Any luck? See anything besides other hunters?

I ran into 2 bucks on Sat and nothing but does on sunday morning. Also saw 4 hunters and 5 horses.

Wind was blowing so hard that one shot was blown. I think it was the same buck but can't confirm.

I plan on going up in the morning tomorrow before work.

I have decided to hunt this guy exclusively. I am going to try my hand at being very patient, something I am not good at.

Bohuter,

Your hunting pics of your deer where really amazing! I am failynew to deer hunting with a rilfe and I can only imagine how tuff and exciting it would be to take a big one (like the one in your profile) with a bow.

You have to be so close!
You are a true hunter in my book!

One day I will take that step in my hunting career, but not for a while.

Thanks for looking at my pics and make sure to DL the video clip.

What size do you think he is?

I hunted Sat and then again on Sun morning. Only saw the little forkie. Actually didn't see but one other hunter and he was on the opposite ridge. Are you camping in the boonies?

Ultimately, that's how I'd like to hunt. Pack in Friday afternoon and back out on Sunday afternoon. Just far enough to get past the road hunters and ATVers. Problem is, I need a hunting partner who will do it as well.
