Nice Southern Utah buck

The year before my buddy Shane tagged this buck. I had missed a 28-30" buck and was hooked on trophy muleys. Then shane wanted my to guide him down south. So, even though I had never shot a 4 point yet. We decided to try out the East Zion area and he shot this buck on opening day. AS far as I know, he has never shot a buck of this size since. It grossed around upper 170's.

I then shot this buck towards the end of the hunt. We had to lower it down about 50 feet into this slot canyon, to stay cool.

You don't look a day older than 16 in that picture. What happened?

Marriage and children happened. I had to show you that some people actually score when they hunt with me. :) Boy, I wished my body felt like 16 again.

That first buck is a DANDY! Lowered him into the slot canyon huh, that is crazy. How long did you keep him there?

Cool pics, thanks for sharing!

We skinned him out right there and hung it there until the next morning and we then boned it and packed it out.
