My first ever buck! (second ever deer: just started hunting last year)
Hard to see the rack in the photo, but he's got 4 tines per side (including brows). Big body, gonna get lot's of meat off of him! Had a tenderloin tonight and he tasted wonderful.
I spent 7 days over the first two weeks of the month covering a ton of ground in this area to find some good sign. On the 6th, I found some fresh doe beds with a lot of fresh urine around. The next day, a buddy and I set up on the other side of the coulee from the beds, and this guy popped out within 45 minutes of first light! One shot, he jumped, twisted, and dropped in his tracks. Nice and quick!
Taken south of Calgary in one of the foothills WMU's.
