Great shot, great buck, and a great hunt, Just do the euro, enjoy some great meals, and save your money for more hunting. Early Sept. and you already have one nice animal down. MT

Litehiker, Obviously you have already done quit a bit of research, my concern is with the packout. Everything you pack out is going to have to be on your back I would assume. Having all that weight up high on a skinny tired bike on a mountain trail seems like a big wreck in the making...

Way to go guys! You had some serious heat to deal with. A fine buck an a great picture, thanks for posting. MT

Sorry about the late reply, just saw the thread. Any luck so far in this heat? I don't have much help for you other that I spent several days in the Idaho City to Lowman area and found only a few does and fawns. Hope you find one for your friend, MT

I missed it if you submitted it before but could you tell us about the bull in your picture. He's a dandy.

Best 100th post ever. I'm gona do the same when I get to 100. (Maybe I'll wait until 200, I'm a slow learner).

I'm only 59 so haven't been around as long as some of you grumpy old farts but holy crap guys you whine worse than a bunch of old crows! Don't you remember your grampa complaining about that evil box they called a television. Or that wild kid they called Elvis. Or maybe for some of you that...

Whats a, "possible Hippie"?

I prefer a pass through because I think it increases the chances of a better blood trail. DRT is great but it doesn't always work with big strong animals. Also there has been quite a bit of research done on bullets that break up inside the animal. The amount of really small particles of lead...

BrentM, first, thanks for doing a lot of good work to help out the deer and elk herds! Second, I'd like to get up in the big and steep and help you out but in reality I'm old and not very effective in the big and steep any more. Do you think there any wolves south of 84? Thanks and Merry Xmas, MT

I don't put anything on the antlers, but use mop and glow floor wax on the skull. It keeps the bone a nice natural ivory color and seals up all the little pores in the bone. I have not heard of using varnish. MT

Eastbank, Good hunting! I'm from west coast so I've never seen a woodchuck before. What a cool looking critter and you took a great picture. Was that a pretty big one? 200 grn. bullet at 1600fps. now that is sporting. MT

Hugnot, Thanks for the details, again a beautiful rifle. The cherry wood forend tip from your folks is very cool, a real keepsake, first day of fall so your probably getting out the big rifle, have a good season, MT.

Huntnful, Did you get to hunt this weekend? I hunted northern B and found very little deer activity, Don't think that big old full moon is doing us any favors right now. MT. Great shooting BTW!

Hugnot, thats a beautiful rifle, did you build the stock?
