My niece drew a coveted Utah Book Cliff limited entry deer tag this year. Her husband made quite a few scouting trips out there to see if he could find a decent buck for her to shoot. After a few trips he decided to call me since I had hunted the area quiet often before it became a limited entry hunt. He said that he wasn't seeing that many nice bucks but was seeing a lot of the smaller 3 and 4 point bucks. After I told him where to go to do some scouting and possibly where I would go if I had the tag he made one last trip out there. I didn't know the outcome of that scouting trip or even if they had found any deer during the deer hunt which was a week later until I saw these pictures after hearing a rumor of what she found.
They spotted this buck about a half mile off and after a 3 hour stalk it was starting to get dark and it was the last day that she was able to hunt. They were within 300 yards and a little bit over her comfort zone for a shot but between her husband and oldest boy she decided to give it a go. She was able to get a prone shot with her .270 and at the shot the deer went down and didn't get up.
Here are the results. I haven't heard the final measurements either B&C score or even the width but it is a keeper.
