He's not big but now I can concentrate on fishing , I took him with my bow.

Respectable buck, plus any buck with a bow is a good buck.

Nice buck!  I'm backpacking into a secret spot above 8,000 feet in D5 next Thursday for a 4 day hunt.

I was hunting D5 at 7500 feet for the opener. I managed to scare up one deer on Friday scouting and didn't see another Saturday or Sunday. 

I talked with a local who said she hasn't seen the deer in their normal spots since they had cold spell a couple of weeks back so she was speculating they may have moved down.

That being said a couple of people did have success so I guess it's a matter of knowing the area and some luck of course.

Good luck in your secret spot. I have to find one of those.

I salute your hunting like a real man (with a bow) and getting it done. Bravo!
Sets a great example for others to decide if they are truly men and hunters or something less of the citified techno-crutch kind of half-men who let technology make up for their lack of manhood, b*alls, and skill..

I will never kill any mammal (except a varmint) with a firearm. It demeans me and them. We need to be as appreciative of the life we take as of the life we live. Without that what are we really?

Mike, I think it's supposed to snow up there tonight... some bucks will start moving lower with the first cold snap, but my experience has been that some of the big boys will stick it out for a few snows... that's my plan and I'm stick'n to it.

p.s. Surfing Marmot, I like shooting animals with my bow, with my gun, and with my camera... guess what else?... I appreciate all the animals and all the shots equally.  Please don't pass your morals on to my idea of recreation and putting food on the table.

I'll bite my tongue, and just say this: Historically, man has always used the latest and greatest technology in order to pursue game. From rock to spear to atlatl to bow to muzzleloader to modern firearms. Only in the last century or so, has there been a movement to start using the technology of times past. Even then, most primitive method hunters use archery and muzzleloader technology developed in the past 40 years, and not the previous 4000 or 400 respectively. Your opinion on firearms hunting will also carry a lot more weight when I see you using home made natural fiber handlines and bone hooks in order to catch rockfish. From a dugout canoe, sans wetsuit, compass, gps, fishfinder...

Store bought meat is terrible for your body and all you are doing is paying someone else to do the killing for you. The only meat we eat..well 96% of the time is very very lean vension and wild pig. And i even do the butchering myself and make my kids help so they know where their food comes from.

the results is my 52 year old wife has a killer body looks 35 and still get hit on by men in their 20's. Ya for her lovely bod i would kill deer pigs turkeys elk.....She forces men to get fat free meat for her and crabs man she makes me dive for the dungies, all so she can keep her killer bod.

And there you are holding some fish you tortured and killed, you brute!
