Success for Gary Lechner (aka HuntnProf). He shared with us all in the forum.....

"6a Success - After waiting for 6 years, my wife drew her 1st X tag....an X6a tag (she started hunting 6 yrs ago). She had a goal of getting a 4x4 (her 1st was a fork, 2nd was a 3x, so she set a 4x as a goal this year). With the Walker fire closure, there was more pressure where we had scouted in August. Deer were very scarce in the area we decided to focus on (at least compared to August). I hunted it in 2011 and saw many more deer compared to this year.

On Friday afternoon we hiked 45 minutes to get to a ridge on which she had an opportunity opening day (lost too much light and didn’t have clean shot). As the sun was setting and the saddle we were overlooking was in shadow, this guy stepped out ~180 yds away. This time she had plenty of light, a broadside 4x4, and she took care of business with a well placed Barnes Vortex TTSX out of her 6.5 CM. Proud of her!"
