Was fortunate enough to turn this buck up during the 2nd rifle season of 2018 in the Gunnison basin. Snagged the tag off of the leftover list after applying unsuccessfully for the same unit during the draw. We passed up a handful of smaller bucks before laying eyes on this guy. It was a no brainer and we quickly moved to get into position. We got busted by does on the stalk in and watched him blow out of the hidey hole we was in. I thought surely we’d never see him again. After hiking up and over the next hill, there he was. 80 yards, broadside looking right at us. I dropped to my knee to steady my shot as there was nothing close to rest on, and no time to mess around. 1 shot dropped him in his tracks. Incredibly blessed to have shared this experience with my oldest son. I’ve taken a handful of nice bucks from the basin over the past years, but this guy is by far my best. Hope the pics post!
