After 10 days of hard hunting my time in Ontario was winding down. Last day available to hunt and this buck comes into the rattlin antlers at 9:15. He pranced in so pretty..., head held high, chest and neck all puffed up, hair standing up, full alert and highly wired up! I'll never forget that scene as long as I live. As soon as I seen him I knew what buck it was, he's the same deer I passed on the 25th. I studied the picture I took of him that day, and with no regrets about passing him up, figured he was a solid low 150's deer. I really contemplated what I would do if I seen him again and concluded I'd take him late in the hunt. He dressed 232 and should end up a little over 150 inches. I am tickled to death with him as I really love hunting these wilderness bucks. This deer, and the hunt leading up to taking him, has filled everything I love about the wilderness. I seen wolves twice, both times walking passed my db/bull within 10 yards and directly down wind and not having a clue I was there. I seem moose, bear, wolves, bald and golden eagle, became pretty good friends with a very friendly 3 pointer who liked to follow me to my blind every morning, hand fed a whiskey jack, and threw pine cones at a red fox who seemed to relish the attention. And the best part of it all was that I only seen people when I wanted to. To bad the calender had to keep clicking, I could have spent a month there and been very happy to not have fired a shot. For those of you that have never expirienced something like this, I highly recommend it to you all. Beleive me, you truely don't know what you are missing.
Here's a couple pics.
Here's the Dbl/Bull as seen from 15 yards.
6x5 typical and a tired but happy hunter.
