Tags notched in two states! What a great season!

Another year full of nice bucks.  Congrats you did great again.

Great write up! You need to submit it to Horns and Hooks or some other outdoor magizine.

That's awesome ... you may want to write a book on your adventures  Good read for a guy up at 3:30 waiting to go hunting 

Thanks! May your trip be equally as thrilling! Can't wait to see your big buck down!

Great write up, Congratulations on two great bucks. Your Idaho buck is a bruiser. You should submit your story to Western Hunter.

Thanks! I'll think about it.. the story would have to be edited/refined a little more, but I do think the photos could be magazine worthy.

Grats to both of you.

Congratz on a great season! Great country, great stories, and great bucks. Life doesnt get any better

Obviously a great write up, pics, and hunts.

The one thing this man would have done differently on your first buck is cut the lower jaw off the head instead of packing out the extra meat, hide, and weight.

Nice job Killer.

Yeah, it was only 4ish miles and by the time we'd boned him out it was already going to be a late night.. and I wanted a few more photos with him in the morning since we were kind of pressured to get him out (and back into cell reception so as not to worry my father). Wasn't going to be the straw that broke the camel's back that trip.

Fantastic write-up and pics! So glad you shared. Got me wondering about your mom. Did she tag out too? Or should I look for a story from her?

She's a muzzleloader to the end... she and my father have one more season to get their deer tags notched this next week. Otherwise she'll have to wait and hope to tag out on a Roosevelt elk towards the end of November with me.

Very cool. Great read, and awesome deer. Sounds like a perfect deer season. Hard work, ups and downs, and it ends with the harvest of mature bucks. Well done. I too am blessed to hunt with my mother. She can hike circles around most of my huntin buddies. Hunting has nothing to do with size or sex. Ill take determination and desire over physical ability all day. Thanks for the great write up

I couldn't agree more.

Forget about the magazine.. Find yourself a publisher.  I am sure there is sooo much more in these adventures. write a book please.. 

Great story great experience and awesome animals.

Congratulations Hirshey! Way to go Missy. How did you aquire your love of the outdoors?
You have a knack for good storytelling and writing that needs to be pursued.

[hirshey]

Thanks, all... I certainly appreciate the support/encouragement! I'd continue to have the adventures, I may just not have shared them anymore if the folks on this site weren't so neat.

By the way, LOTS of wolf activity, but no tags filled. The hunters we ran into had seen two the previous day but didn't have tags. 
Every direction from camp had sign/sightings. The last day we were there, they were howling less than .5 miles from our tent an hour before daylight for almost 45 minutes. If we hadn't been so bushed (we SHOULD HAVE anyways  ) we might have had one more adventure to talk about. Low, melodic rumblings; the closest one was crystal clear; no terrain features blocking him... the others (2-4 it sounded like) were slightly muffled. I would have liked to muffle them permanently.  It wasn't in the cards this trip... someday I'll help with the predator count.. especially if they continue to thrive like they have in that area.

Loved the pics and the story! Gets me pumped for late archery. Don't ever lose your passion for the outdoors or let a bunch of dudes get you down. Can't wait for next years story!
