There were 4 of us hunting this drainage, 3 with tags and myself who was taking my 9 year old son out for his first trip. In all the 3 hunters shot 2 bucks and a very nice bear; everything was a bone and pack job. My son hiked in with me an hour before light, was quiet as a church mouse (most of the time) and made a killer 172 yard shot with a small window through trees on a deer that was spooked and moving, he's a stud and I'm so proud! a_bess's deer was old and I think blind and deaf, he just walked up to it and put it out of its misery
.This was one of the best and most memorable days of hunting I've ever had.

Simply outstanding! That 28" buck is a huge beast of a deer!
Great bucks - and sharing the hunt with your son... Too cool.
Congratulations!

Hey a_bess, where's your orange dude!? JK
Guy's, the pictures don't do this buck justice! He's a real stud for sure!
These 4 had an incredible opening day and worked their butt's off. That was a heck of a lot of meat to pack off the mountain! The bear that the 3rd hunter shot was huge also. a_bess, you should post a pic of that bear!
What a great experience and great buck for the first time hunter at 9yrs old!
Way to go guys!
