Matchset's 4 year quest for a buck named Wishbone

[slimngrizzly]

Unreal Sam! As I said on the phone, the score is completely irrelevant with a buck like that! The trophy of many lifetimes for sure! I want one!

Congrats on the buck and great story! Just out of curiosity, do you hunt public or private ground? It is pretty impressive to shoot those 5 deer in 5 years so I was just curious. Congrats again on the buck and great story.

Like my dad said, hunt where the deer are. I consistantly hunt both private and public.

Really cool story, got be satisfying to know the end result of that deer so you don't have to wonder, old age, maybe a vehicle, poached, someone else got him during gun or bow. I don't think I'll trade ya steaks for steaks lol.

That is some solid advice, most people with access to good land usually overlook hunting public. Really the bucks don't know the difference. Curiosity has gotten the better of me, were any of your 5 bucks in 5 years taken off public land?

I'm also wondering how many people it took to load that pig into the back of your truck with the guts in?

Great deer! Great story! Congrats on the bittersweet closure of Wishbone. That will be something you will remember forever.
