jmden,

Good job and nice shooting. I personally like the mass and width on your buck. The hunt as a whole makes it one nice trouphy buck !

Yes...I watched him tumble and the further he went, the more my knees started aching...

Jon,

You certainly earned that shot. It takes a dedicated soul to put the time in to find a spot like that. Not to mention the effort.

My dream is to fly into the Frank Church Wilderness Area in Idaho and be left there for a week or so. My days of the "high country" hiking are a bit in the past.

Great story and pics. Great rifle and great shooting.

Again, you certainly earned it.

That is a nice buck for sure. I was up there with a buddy and we heard one shot, now i know who the lucky guy was!!! Ya guys that area is some very steep hard hunting. Well done Jon

I only heard one shot as well!

Was a bit surprised at that on such a nice opening morning.

Don't give away my spot!!

I'll be up there next year on opening morning!

Are you local to that area? PM me if you'd like. Jon

Edit: What became of that fire? Any idea of the location?

Thanks, Roy. Hope you get to pull the trigger some this fall. Jon
