Great opener!

Well the season is here and gone. Went out with my dad and had a slow start. We glassed all day and all we could turn up were does. We went into a basin and glassed while we ate lunch and then figured we would hunt a series of rim rocks on our way out. Finally got to the edge of the first set and peeked over. This exact spot a few years ago we watched a big 2-point bed with his back against the rocks which cool. As we were peeking over we were talking about that buck when all of a sudden 2 big bucks jumped out of their bed and stared up at us. I took aim and hit the first buck hard. Not a split second later my dad also shot the buck. The other buck ran to the bottom and I told him I had know I hit the first buck hard and shoot the other one when it comes up. We waited about 5 minutes and I spotted the buck coming thru the timber. 3 shots later my dad filled his tag! Went from a dismal first half of the day to one of the best days I have had in the field. Nobody better to spend it with than my dad! Here are a few pics!

"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?
