WT Success!
« on: November 08, 2008, 03:17:03 PM »
I just have to share. Took my son up to the Colville area yesterday and we had success rattling in this buck. My son was next to me in the ground blind to see the whole thing. He got up at 3am to make the long drive with me, then sat in the rain/snow, and handled the whole thing like a man...I am so proud of him. We got home soggy, bloody, and cold, but soooo excited. This hunt was so much more special becuase he was there with me.

The buck is a 5x4 (9 point) and is 18" wide. My first WT buck and first late season attempt. I am hooked now though.

Here is my son with my buck.

First outing I had with my dad was the year before I started hunting. I too sat there wet and cold and got to see my dad take a huge 2 x 3 blacktail. I have not missed a season with him since then. 22 years. And everyone has some moments ill remember for the rest of my life. Thanks for taking your son out! And one hell of a buck! I didnt see squat when I was there!

Very cool. Great buck!!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

What where your rattling sequences like? Use any grunt calls or bleats?

thanks
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
