2 Mule Deer in 30 Minutes
« on: September 04, 2014, 09:56:33 PM »
My wife's first time bowhunting and she's successful. Her and I still hunted opening day and did a lot of glassing/hiking. A little more than she expected so I set my blind up on a very well used trail between feeding and bedding areas. After two days of blind sitting, she got an opportunity but missed. I'd been still hunting, stalking and glassing so the 3rd day I said I wanted to sit in the blind with her but in the shooting position. An hour into the morning a nice 4pt came by and I took full advantage of the opportunity. We quickly switched chairs since we had to wait the standard 30 minutes to check on my deer and low and behold, a nice fat muley doe comes in at 22 yds and she double lungs it. Slick Trick lodged in the knuckle of the off shoulder. She followed the blood trail and even gutted half of it after I got it started. We had a fantastic week together and now she wants to go again next year.

Wow, I don't think it could possibly get any better than that!

Awesome. Congrats.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

My wife is still ecstatic. I downloaded all the pics, gave her the SIM Card and she's still emailing everyone, LOL. :IBCOOL:
PS - I missed an opportunity the day prior also by ranging a fence post near a deer trail I expected to be used. Too bad the deer came out at the next fence post(about 12yds farther)and I didn't notice. My arrow went right under a big fat muley doe. Kinda glad I missed since I ended up with a nice buck.

Good job, great story. Nothing better then common interest with the other half. Nice camp, Question. is that some sort of portable, collapsible picnic table?

That's my Double Bull blind leaning up against the picnic table if that's what you're refering to.
