Thanks for sharin' Conner!

That was a *nice* buck and a great example of why one has to be careful getting into position to glass even at "long" range!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Thanks for the response guys, I love Tradgang. You are right about being careful when glassing bucks from long range. It is in my opinion to always try and stalk down above the high country bucks so they don´t see you coming. We came around the basin and saw the buck pictured, it was already too late, he had us pegged. But as a bow hunt with a moto that "the hunt isn't over until I arrived back at the car" we had to try.

Cool pictures and that looked like a nice tall buck.  Be careful sliding on your but...I suffered an injury the likes of which would ruin any mans hunt doing that same stunt a few years back.  Hit a pointy rock just under the snow surface and about removed my tailbone from my spine.  Ouch....wasnt worth the thrill.  Thought I was paralysed.

Thanks for the pics and story.  Looks like some awesome country.
