Wyoming whitetail

We both have Type 3, additional whitetail, tags for the area the ranch is in and up above town here on the NF.
Spouse went up this morning to do a little hunting for a nice "meat buck".
He rattled up this buck from his bed. Hunting at about 8,000 ft elevation with just enough snow for a good drag out, about 300-400 yards to the road.
We're thinking a nice 3 1/2 year old.
It takes about 15 minutes from the house to this part of the NF, nice easy drive when the roads are good.
Looks like we'll be going back up in the morning for my hunt.
We haven't had whitetail meat in freezer in a few years, certainly looking forward to it.

nice.

Love the snow and the deer, congratulations!

I love a good walkabout with photo ending!!!

Congrats

How much you think that sucker weighs?

Not big, our mulies were heavier. Maybe 130 lbs or so.

Actually put him on the scale, 140 lbs dressed.
He has a couple of fresh wounds on his butt and tail, looks like he took a tine to his backside.
Maybe we can locate his opponent in the morning.

That is awesome. Good luck in the morning.

Yep

Rattled up a young 2 1/2 yr old this morning but it was pretty breezy. Going to try again in the morning, might get a dusting of snow this afternoon and that would help.

Nice meat buck, good luck on your hunt in the morning.

Well, high winds this morning so no hunt. It really howls up on the forest in this area so next weekend it is. We did get that dusting of snow too.

Congratulations on the buck and the full freezer!

That's what I call a Russian Whitetail... you know... a Brokenoff!!

He looks like a fighter. Is his left beam broken at the tip?? Congrats!!
