This is a story of my first muzzy buck. Me and my dad were up above this canyon that we were glassing. We found a nice 3 point that I was for sure I wanted. We hiked to this spot and we were looking for him again
Most of this canyon was very thick. We lost the 3 point in the thick trees and decided to move a bit forward to get a better look at the whole canyon
We found this group of bucks. They were in a little group of trees feeding. There was a big 2 point a spike by 2 and a little forky. We watched for a little while for them to pop out so i could get a shot. We heard a bunch of rustling on the other side of the canyon. We saw a little glimpse of the buck and it was a big heavy 3 point.
We lost him and just kept waiting. About 3 minutes later the spike by 2 steps out and I didn't want to take him. Then we here more rustling but it was closer. Then we see the big heavy 3 point pop out. Unfortunately we couldn't get him to stop running. By now I was pretty bummed. Again we saw a buck come out and it was the big 2 point. My dad said do you want to take and I said yes. I shot and SMOKED him. I thought I missed but apparently I didn't. We then went to look for him and 40 yards later we found h piled up.
I loved this hunt because it was on the first day and in the first couple hours of daylight.
