This was a sweet hunt. I tracked this buck for about 1/2 hour, then I thought maybe I was on a muley track, as it started picking its way down through some cliffs. Well, I had to see what it was, so I picked through there too, in the snow...
Then he took off across the little canyon, I picked an opening ahead of him and fired as he went in...then went to the next and fired again, then swung to the next opening...He stopped right in it and I fired again. This time he bolted straight down hill as fast as he could go and I lost him in the trees but heard a massive "crash".
As I tracked him across the slope where I was shooting I got nervous that maybe he was just wounded and I'd have to get another quick shot off to kill him....Then....there was no doubt. I hit blood and it was unbelievable. There was a red stripe about 5 feet wide for as far as I could see down the hill, about 100 yards! I found him piled up at the bottom of a 15 foot cliff, with his antlers stuck into his rub cage! Nuthin broke though!
