Extended Pics???

Prism · Nov 26, 2005

Either the hunt is sucking it up this year or you successful guys are being really quiet.

I think we'd all love to see some pics from the Wasatch this year.

Anybody???

I will post some pictures later on. My hunting partner and I both shot 4 points in the same canyon, 10 yards apart, 10 seconds apart. Was great fun! Mine is 23" wide. His is 25" wide.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-28-05 AT 05:05PM (MST)[p]Prism, you missed the part about some of us just suck at this game

My year has been, well, pathetic.

Here's the best I can do from last week one evening and a bull on Thanksgiving morning.

Cheers,
Pete

c3,

Thanks for sharing some pics. Sure seems like it was a slow season for just about everybody-from early to late.

Here are the 2 bucks that we shot. It was fast and furious. These 2 were fighting 100 yards in front of us. We snuck closer and closer each time they would go out of sight. Finally the smaller one was pushed 40 yards in front of me. I shot once and he lunged up the hill. This seemed to annoy the larger buck who then ran over to my wounded buck and gave him a nudge. Just then my hunting partner let go...wham. 2 bucks hit.
We tracked them for about 1 hour each.
The pictures are not that great, but the hunting was.

Congrats on the buck(s). Looks like the same deer in both pics? How in the world did you get them (it) out in one piece. I must be hunting the other Wasatch..... Thanks for sharing.

They are different bucks.
Getting mine out was easy. After he tipped over he slid 1/4 mile down a STEEP STEEP hill. He ended up about 50 yards from a very good trail that was freshly covered in snow. I dragged him down hill to the road, hid him in some brush (as to avoid the hikers) drove to the trail head and loaded him in.
The second buck was not so easy, but we had 4 guys willing to help. The drag in the deep snow was not bad.
I shot a little bigger buck in the unit a couple of years ago... now that was a hard one to get out. I deserved a little easier retrieval this year.
I will post some better pics when I get time to get them off the camera.

I saw a buck today that was shot up on the wasatch today that was scored at 206 gross. It is a pig! The guy brought him down to Cabelas. What a monster. I am hoping he will show up here for everyone to see. It is nice to see someone get a nice one. I guess it is over as of today for big mulies! Maybe next year. Congratulations to those of you that were successful. Thanks for sharing the pic's.
