My old Whitetail hunting pal, Jerry,(aka Hi_Vel) requested I post this picture. We spent much of our youth chasing Whitetail bucks together around the Gallatin Valley, north of Bozeman... He told me it brought back fond memories of time spent together back in the mid 70's, in a bygone era. Today, most of the areas we hunted are covered up in sub divisions, filled with trophy homes, and "Ranchettes". I can remember hunting before school every morning, and pulling into the high school parking lot, greeted by teachers, wondering if we'd filled a tag that morning....nothing was ever said about our rifles left in the rear window gun rack, during class, so we could slip back out for a quick after school hunt. Times sure have changed. Such cool looking country to be chasing whitetails in. Thanks for the sharing the second pic.

Tremendous mass on those antlers! How old do you think that buck would be?

It is not only a fantastic trophy, but this photo really captures the essence of a memorable hunt--the spitting snow, the fine snow on the ground--all of it just mighty fine medicine. One look at the photo just took me back in time to those special days....

What a beast! Congratulations Pat! I'm headed out for SE Montana Monday. Mule deer is on the menu for this Missouri boy but I'd definitely shoot a whitetail like that!

I saw what I thought was a pretty nice Mulie buck this AM on the Gros Ventre in Wyoming. I am no longer impressed. It wasn't snowing though. That is an awesome White Tail and great pics.

Any details on the hunt, how it went down, etc? When I get caught up...pretty hectic time of the year....it's a good tale! A good "hectic'...;)
