Nothing too fancy here. Found this buck about hour and a half into the first morning in a secluded canyon a couple ridges over from a big bowl that holds a lot of deer, water, and feed. Bedded the buck up in some thick Cedars and left mid morning to go help a buddy pack his deer out to the road. We got back about 3 PM, set the spotting scope up and found him a couple hundred yards farther down the canyon bedded on a little bit of a rock outcropping. Winds were howling 25 to 30 in all directions. I cut across the bottom and went up the side he was on. Stayed above him and dropped down the finger past him as it seemed to present a better shot opportunity studying it through the spotting scope. Cut 1100 yards off of it and had a 237 yard Chip shot with a hard quartering 25 to 30� down slope angle. Got him gutted in the dark and came back the next morning to pack him out. Keep passing the "Ticonderogas"...
