3 generations on this hunt.
Good Stuff.



My 11 year old son is holding the deer.
After spending 10 days in the saddle or hiking into remote basins this was a nice way to spend "a day off".
Unfortunately the deer didn't give us time to get my son set up on the buck.
Regardless he was in my back pocket and we got to enjoy the experience together.

Later in the hunt we found him a beautiful tall and heavy 4 point, in the timber, at about 125 yards broadside. The buck couldn't make us out. Eventually I got my coat off and made the "perfect" rest for his 243. He's an excellent shot, out shoots most men, and I reminded him to slowly squeeze the trigger. At the shot he drilled it and it went flying...................
The limb 20 feet in front of his gun that is!!!
Mr. Buck left in a hurry.

I'm still not sure how the gun settled that low into my wad of coat and shirts but it had.
He chose to pass on smaller bucks and hold out for another nice buck that never came.

Good luck to all the rest of the season!!!

Way to go Harbor Hunter.  Glad to see you shook off the bad luck.

Not exactly the rut tag buck I was hoping for, but will taste better than tag soup.

Good buck....was this the local rut tag?

Just got back from another Montana trip.  My son got a nice Mule deer and we shot a couple of decent whities too.  another buddy shot a nice little muley also.  Overall a good hunt but cold, snow, and wind made it a little tough this year.
