LAST EDITED ON Oct-23-11 AT 10:44AM (MST)[p]Here are pictures of the bucks and bulls I have helped my friends and family harvest this year.
this is my buddy who shot this after 8 days on the mountain. we got to 40 yards and he punched him straight through the heart. The buck went about 5 steps and fell over deader than dead.
these next 3 are of my buddy jake who has never taken a big game animal. I told him in january to put in for the buck bull combo tag, which the little bastage drew. All year long we have been talking about where to go and what he'd shoot. He wanted a 3 point or better and any elk with antlers. His buck he shot at 480 yards with his 270. he hit it in the head ( right through the ear). His elk we got the next day in the nastiest country at 400 yards with his 270 shooting remington corelocs. @ great animals for his firsts!
This is my wife and her first buck! what an awesome hunt. we spotted this buck after 30 mins into the opener. She took a 200 yard shot and dropped him right in his tracks. We used the old eddystone 1917 with the XP3's 180gr. Destroyed his lungs. what a shot! I was so proud of her. We got up to the buck only to find 2 other hunters gutting it, I was surprised by the way they just left it after we told them that it was ours. They had the ability to ruin a hunt for my wife but they took the high road and i appreciate it.
This is my brother in law's little brother. I spotted this buck about 30 mins before dark. It was his first buck. 180 yard double lung. Deer never saw it coming. dumped him in his tracks. What a first buck for a 14 yr old kid. lucky bastage!
this last one is the bull my buddy took in the uintas.
I feel blessed to have beewn able to help my friends and family out this year. After being diagnosed with Reiter's syndrome in Septmeber I didn't think I would be able to come through on all the promises I made Pre Season. I am Blessed to have friends and family Willing to carry me or let me hang on to them as we hiked around and took all these fine animals.
Someone asked me if I would have to stop hunting because of the Reiter's, I told them that even if my legs were chopped off I'd find a way to nub myself around the mountains. I can't quit doing what I love.
It was a big bodied 2 point.
