So here I am on the couch digesting some turkey and I come accross the "On Your Own Adventures" TV show. I loved it...97% of people hunt like us...good scouting, etc. It was the episode where he went for archery elk in NM. I've been meaning to start buying points in more states. I have a bunch in OR, some in WA and 1 in WY...I plan on building points in Utah and Colorado also in 2010.
I'm not sure if introductions are customary on this site but I'll give one. My name is Matt and I'm a fisheries biologist who loves to steelhead fish more than anything else. I've even written a few steelheading articles for Salmon. Trout Steelheader magazine. However over the past few years I've really let this bowhunting/hunting thing grow on me and I love it! Rifle hunting is also fun... and ususally involves more killing.
Eastern OR Rifle: So as is customary in the first hours of opening day the crack of my friends rifle sounds off at 0730...fork down again. Then it starts snowing....for 2 days. Eventually there's a foot of snow at deer camp and very limited visability!
Eventually everybody quits and goes home. I spent two days hunting relatively hard in horrible conditions. On day four it cleared up and deer were moving. I passed on a spike and then came accross this guy and let him have it! I didn't know how big he was but I saw that he had a really good frame. Ended up being a really, really good frame! he's right around 150"
