I’m a terrible story teller but here goes nothing... I finally drew a tag in an area I could dedicate some time to scout. I wasn’t able to find many deer for a while and as the hunt got closer I found a small group of bachelors that I kept my eye on. Fast forward about two weeks before the hunt I went back up to scout found the group and low and behold this guy was in there! Hunt time came and typical... no sign of any of them. Third day in, glass a buck bedded up in timber, thick a$$ timber at that. Patiently wait as wind was great for what seemed like days and the buck finally came out to feed. Not the deer I was hoping for😡. My buddy was trying to convince me to shoot him, he was decent maybe a 170 with character. As we discussed it the deer I had been waiting for was walking straight out of the trees behind the other deer. Dumb luck but there he was! 364 yds and the proofs in the pics. Also a scouting pic of him alive ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/130133/filename/E73317A0-DF69-4A5F-86C5-E8D941EFEB2D.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/130134/filename/5ED8F7B0-A57B-4550-9EEA-EEDA8DB795EF.jpeg)

Awesome deer. We killed some dandy’s like this one out of Lindrith. Great deer in the NW. I wish we still had those ranches for the mule deer hunting.

Wow! That’s a great buck, good job on scouting and waiting for the big one. He’s got the body of a horse, and his antlers still look big!

DC I agree with that. All I have is my phone and go through the campfire to do. Apparently I need to spend more time figuring it out. Thanks for all the compliments guys. He grossed at 204 on the button

Nice buck! Get a score in him by chance?

While looking at the Live Photo from your scouting it occurs to me that the deer deserved a bullet for the sin of gluttony. (grin)
Gorgeous deer, congratulations that your scouting and insistence on "one deer" paid off.

All I can say is a WOW! Congratulations on your perseverance. What did your buddy say when you came up on him?
