Well made it happen after 2 1/2 days of not seeing much at high elevation. Hunted lower and started finding more deer and bachelor groups of bucks. Found a group of 4, and got this guy. Not the biggest out there but it’s what I was looking for. 4x3 maybe 21” wide.

Congratulations! Well done. It’s incredible how many deer scratch out a living over in those HOT Bodie Hills. There’s always a few whoppers killed there every year. Looks more like text book Wyoming Pronghorn country. I’m surprised there aren’t more than the small herd of Pronghorns that are there. Did you happen to see any of them?

Yeah we seen the small herd of Antelope, they were way out there but seen them on the spotter. There were a few big bucks taken, but most we seen were in the 20”-22” range.

Congrats Mel! We just got back from x12 last night. We didn't manage to turn up much other than does and little bucks . We spent time high and low . What a great week with my brother though. Heading back out next Friday to try again.

I love that country up there. Congrats on a real nice buck.
I need probably another 6 points to get back up there. I'll be 75 then and hoping to be able to do it one last time.
