Talking Finally smoked the old man of the mountain...

After scouting this guy all off season, finally managed to spot and stalk on him. The rain lend me a hand allowing me to get to 65yds. Hit him a bit back with my arrow, so I had to come back the following morning....found him 75yds from where I shot him.
After getting nothing but cull bucks and eating tag soup the last few years, it's about time I got a nice one.....should make pope and young for az.

Congrats Doc, Nice buck. Did a lot of hunting outside Huachuca. Can't say I ever got in to 65 yds. Good job.

Really, really nice deer. I'm surprised that they are still in velvet there. I had never thought about them being later in velvet.

Have you scored him yet?

P&Y 176 was the green score....I have to wait for the drying period to pass to get the true score.
