Hey Powermaker, I'm from Mackay, Idaho. Which is 18 miles south of MT. Borah, Idahos tallest mountain right in the heart of gods country as some would say. Its right on Highway 93 about 10 hours from here. I shot a deer every year I was there after reaching the legal age to hunt. I have a winterkill buck that i bought off of my friends little brother for 15 dollars. Its a 6x6 and has a 35" outside and a 33' inside spread that had died that winter so it was still brown. The biggest buck i shot was 25" 4x4 that won 1st and 2nd place in two big buck contests and also shot a 3 point that was 23" wide and just as tall that also won the local big buck contest the year before. The only reason that I didnt hold out for a bigger buck this year, was that I had taken a day off work, drove 4 hours for the second weekend and its been twelve years since I had hunted, I just got excited and shot the first four point I came accross. It took three years to get my first choice drawn and i hope that it wont take as long this time or at least get a sheep or elk or speed goat tag to hold me over. I still have all my family in Idaho and Montana. The Air Force brought me to las vegas and after four years I got out and just stayed.
