![On my way back to camp one night I found these fresh cougar tracks in my entrance boot tracks. Kinda spooky.](https://zenbowhunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/hunt_013.jpg)

![I finally spotted this big stud-buck 1000 feet above me. By the time I got close, it had crossed the summit and left. This is the hardest hunt I've ever had!](https://zenbowhunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/hunt_010.jpg)
![November 30, last day of the season. Another sad photo of my hunt coming to an end. Better to eat an unused tag than kill a small buck. Already looking forward to next year!](https://zenbowhunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/hunt_016.jpg)
The following photos are from my Utah extended archery hunt in October and November. The hunt ended on November 30 and I did not shoot a deer.
As a trophy hunter, I was holding out for real record-class buck. Also, my wife already shot a huge bull elk, so meat wasn’t a big concern, rather I was mostly looking for a challenge. All told, I could have shot close to 30 bucks, the most buck encounters I’ve ever had. Of those bucks, half were young two- and three-point bucks, and the rest were either too small or too smart. It was a challenge indeed!
