Well waited 20 years to get this tag and to be honest it was the hardest hunting I have ever done when it comes to hiking up and down mountains. The amount of lava rock everywhere you step and for that matter drive on the roads was insane but with that said I wasn’t impressed with the quality of bucks I saw. We saw a lot of game lots of small bucks in the 14 to 19 inch category but no big ones like that zone carried years ago. Don’t get me wrong my partner and I had a great time we got up early every day and hit it hard we were up there from the opening day on and on the twelfth day I decided to go after this buck we seen earlier in the week and sure enough he was where we saw him not a smoker buck but a decent mule deer. I have always said the hunt is about the memories you make with family and friends and the deer is just a bonus. Hope everyone had a safe and successful season and GOD BLESS AMERICA
