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 !

Congrats on the success. You earned this one! Good write-up and thanks for sharing your hunt with us.

Always seems like they will roll down hill as far as they can. I am still waiting to kill one where gravity works uphill the same as downhill. Those steep slopes do get treacherous when wet.

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

Thanks for sharing your hunt with us, I'm sure you will get to air out that rifle on something before too long.

You can hit me up if you want to go shooting when you get in town. I'm new to this site but you can also find me on the snipers hide aswell. I'm close to b ham and can get you in with a few locals if you want to do some LR shooting. If the weather permits and jury duty allows I will be up in the pasayten/ chewick area for my hunt this year and the high hunt for next year.
