Thanks gentlemen. That hunt was 21 years after my first ever buck and on the same ranch.

There are monsters that migrate to that area. It's the winter range for the East Tehama herd. Much of their summer range burnt up in the nearly 1 million acre Dixie Fire so they were ready to get to unburnt ground.

He's a good representative buck for the ranch. His tail was all black but I'm sure there's a muley in the woodpile.

I finally got over my vicious poison oak outbreak from the three trips packing him out and he's delicious.
