After hunting hard the last few days Ted finally connects on this fat 3x2 Blacktail ..We wake up this morning to rain and wind and I knew I had to let him miss school today
So we have breakfast and took our time waiting for it to get daylight ..I learned years ago that there is no sense in leaving the house in the dark until I can see good and so happy we did ...We have hunted the same units for days now and seeing a few doe but no bucks So I decided we would hike up in a unit we knew would have deer in it this morning .We get out of the truck and start walking up the grade that goes threw the unit and as we come to the first corner Ted looks up to his right and says ...right there - right there...I look up to see this buck looking at us ...Ted lays his 25-06 across a cedar stump and BOOOM .. He drops right in his tracks ...Dead center in the white patch of his neck
All the sudden up jumps another deer
You guessed it
another buck and yes it was another 3 pt ..But I think his buck was bigger bodied So we are happy how it all went down ...His buck has a 2in layer of fat on it and Blacktail rarely have this much fat on them So we may be in for a heck of a winter
Now My other son & I are ready for late archery to begin and I think it is going to be a good one this year and Yes we will be hounding that old start sucker that keeps slipping threw my fingers but this time he will need to out smart 2 of us not just one
Ted is alittle disapointed he can not hunt for the big boy now but he provided a freezer full of meat that we need because our freezer is empty
