Early Utah rifle buck

idratherbhuntn · Oct 18, 2021

I was able to get off work early and took my 4yo boy and father in law up to look for a buck. The early snow had pushed a ton of deer into the area we hunt which was a big hit with the little guy. Last light my son started getting pretty cold and asked to go back to the truck. I told him I found a buck that we could try and shoot or we could go back to the truck. He looked at me and said let’s shoot it dad and then go to the truck! 400yds later and done deal. Not my biggest buck but having my son along for the experience was pretty special. Unfortunately he waited in the car while I took care of the deer so trying to take selfies with a deer at last light on a snowy hill this is the best I could get.

Does Anybody Know If Dedicated Hunters Can Hunt The Early General Season?

Nice buck. I bagged a similar buck like that a few years ago. I can touch his G2's with the same hand. Yet he was 25" wide. I assumed he was really old, turned out it was just genes.

Congrats, Very nice.

Great buck! I've always liked the high-n-tight 4 points. I shot one last year that was 24" outside and 8" tip-to-tip.-----SS

yes they can if there is a early hunt in the unit.

Sweet buck! This looks like a buck I saw almost everyday of the muzzleloader hunt! I have a ton of photos of him throughout the hunt. I’ll send you a DM and see if this is possibly the same buck.

As long as your unit has the early rifle hunt your good too go, only select units have that hunt though

Here’s a better picture. He’s only about 20 wide but has great main beams and mass. He surprisingly scores way better than I though initially.
