A number ( a big number /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif ) of years ago I was rifle hunting mule deer in the Uncompaghre national forest south of Delta . I came upon a hunter from Texas who had made a great shot, extreme downhill angle at several hundred yards .

It was pretty warm and he was going to skin the deer and get the meat in ice chests right away . Problem was he didn't have a camera and really wanted to get pix of him and his deer . I always carry a small camera and offered to take his pic and mail them to him.

Well as you have probably already guessed I lost his name and address . It occured to me that he or someone that has seen this buck may come to this site . As they say "stranger things have happened " I've always regretted not getting his pic to him and thought it couldn't hurt to try this . [image]

from the looks of the clothing, shoes, haircut, and that funky facial hair- I'd have to say it was from the late 70's-early 80's.
 
Thanks for the tip Jeff , I think I will try that .


Meister , good guess , it was 80 . But if you think that is funky facial hair check out the pic below ( also 80 ). I ain't telling who that is /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

jimm,
what state are you talking about? the National Forest south of Delta in my state is the Fish Lake national forest.
I agree with Meister Hank Jr !!!!!!!!!
Very nice of you to try and get this to him.

That would be Colorado. I have hunted the Uncompahgre 5 or 6 times. Pretty area. You must be from Utah. I've hunted the Fishlake NF 3 times for muleys with a bow. Saw a beautiful 6x6 bull at 10 yards but no tag. Probably 340+.
Hunted the Manti LaSal NF in 2004 black powder for muleys. My buddy and I both scored on small bucks, went home happy.
