Edwards told us, "Not many bucks were being seen. Predators were abundant. I hunted hard everyday hitting those ridgetops and rimrocks and passed on 20" class bucks nearly everyday. I took him at a distance of 275 yards with 130-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip handloads with a Remington model 721. There were two other bucks with this one. One was a high, heavy, 25-inch 3x3 and the other was a small 4x3. I took this buck one-on-one, glassing and still-hunting. He tapes out 31 inches, 7x7 with the eyeguards. His unofficial B&C gross was 188 6/8 and 174 6/8 net. Not a bad buck for California!"
