Well took my wife out friday afternoon ..we spotted some deer around 3:30 . We just watched them till dark . They were about 1 1/2 up the mountain too far to hike that late. We seen two nice muley bucks chasing some hot does. So we would hit tje trail in the am.
Well parked the truck in the same spot started glassing ...wife said there is one...and one more. So we decide to wait a bit to see where they are heading too. I spot a hunter on top just hiking right too the deer we watched him and he sat on a groop of rocks . The deer see him by now im watching the buck we spotted lok at him . Well i hear a shot ...miss ..then i se the deer just stand up and roll over down the hill then i hear the report of thesecond shot. Deer is dead sliding down the hill about 50 to 60 yards. My wife says darn that sucks ....then we hear one more shot...this is about 3 to 4 min. After the first buck dies ..the rest of the does come running out in the open...well guess he shot the bigger one too. We can only shoot one buck here in Montana. So we watch for about 1 hr. The hunter dont even go to the first deer at all. Well the wife is pissed by now!! She says lets find fish & game. There is a check station close . Well off we go ..we run right into a worden ..tell him everything . Back to the site we head.He looks in my spotting scope and yes there is the deer .dead . He tells me that is to far of a hike to go look ....he will just look for the truck or car and start there. Omg my wife is very pissed by now ..
So we hunt till almost dark and swing by the dead deer ...sure enough he is still there....no hunter ..no fish & game . Just a wasted deer...hummm this sucks ...
We will look today for the deer ...any thoughts you guys
