Nice! Congrats. From a former resident of S. Oregon. I know the dedication this took. I’m now too old so I really enjoyed you taking me along. Now live in the Cascade Locks area. This helps people know that most of Oregon is not a waist land like Portland. 👍 Salute 🫡
Dang. You moved from the desert to the rainforest! A lot of big cities have big problems. Portland took a hard fall in the past 6 years, it’ll come back.
Congratulations! I am thrilled for you! I have been following your journey on various forums (Facebook, etc) from the day you drew the raffle tag. When I saw the video of the buck from last week, I felt that buck needed a serious look. I wanted to say it was north of 200" but didn't want to persuade you to punch your tag by throwing out a score estimate. Your buck exceeded even what I thought it might score. A true beast for Oregon. Great work! It is very cool you contacted the game warden and he was able to witness the harvest.
Thanks I spent 2 days looking over footage of the buck before I made up my mind. I figured I would have a pretty hard time finding something bigger. I hope you continue to follow we have several more hunts to come this year
@@stevegreen5129 I sure don't, but his prior video (S1 E3) where his buck was first shown, he had "What do you think these Bucks will score"?" written across the screen.
Amazing you found a buck that size in Oregon. Back in the late 50's and 60's, you could hunt high, remote areas and see bucks of this size in Eastern Oregon very easily BEFORE season opened. In those same areas today you're lucky to spot a fork horn. Over hunting due to excessive deer tags decimated the mule deer heard in Eastern Oregon into the 70's and it has NEVER gotten back to those record mulies SINCE. The same thing is happening in Michigan. Between excessive tags being issued for YEARS now; disease, and poaching ... seeing a fork horn on public property is like seeing a MIRACLE.
@@GettingToHeaven we have some nice bucks here probably the best big buck hunting in the US right now. They are here see them this big every year. But not like it use to be.
Congratulations. I’ve been following you on this quest and glad you took that stud. You put the time and dedication into it. Having the game warden there too must’ve been exciting for him as well. Well done.
Way to put in the work and make the most of the special opportunity! I was surprised to see the pass on him during on the previous encounter; glad to see he was everything he looked and more! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
What an absolute giant! Congratulations on a buck of a lifetime! It’s sad that even tho we catch things on video the rumors still fly from jealous and ignorant people lol I had shot a bull in 2019 with my 6 year old son at my feet and the bull came into 20 yards my wife had me at full draw with the bull and my son all in the same frame and people still accused me of using a rifle haha jealousy sure makes some folks miserable! Thanks to the officer for being a part of it that is really cool to have such a good relationship with enforcement… best of luck on future hunts gents
Wow what a buck! Glad you reconsidered and went after him! He def looked like a Stud from yer first video when you passed him. How wide did he end up measuring?
Yes I could have hunted trout creek I scouted it pretty hard and was less than impressed with what is there. So I went elsewhere. Trout creek has gone down hill not many big bucks there anymore.
Congrats on a fine buck. But please do not call these tags Governor's, the present and past liberal governors would be happy if no hunting is allowed at all.
