Temps in the 70's so the deer, especially the larger bucks, were holed up in the junipers, bitter brush or bedded up in the steep cliffy areas. Only saw decent bucks at first day light or right when getting dark. bucks. CWD really hit the deer populations in this area of SE WY smallish buck bedded in pic. can you find. it?

Can see area top right in pic edge of canyon top. Rushed down to a wash and walked up as fast as we could and were able to close distance to 400 yards Last edited by ribka; 10/16/21.

Shot could see the bullet hit high shoulder and buck began a dead run down the canyon and disappeared . It was dark. Waited 15 minutes went to look for him and couldn't find him. Knew hit was good so decided to come back next as temps were in the 30's at night. Next day spent 20 minutes looking for him. I started glassing and saw his tail. We walked with 15 yards of him twice. Hidden in a patch of yucca. CWD really hurt the deer populations in this region so happy with a 4x4 typical 4x4 with a big body.Guessing 260 to 280 lbs far shot to see size of body healthy, lots of fat Last edited by ribka; 10/16/21.
