We had a spike run through the front of our property Sunday morning acting goofy. I ask my youngest son if he wanted to put a camera and the blind outback after church? We checked the camera yesterday after school and had the spike at 8pm Sunday and a big 3x3 at 6am Monday and does all day long. My 12 year old and I sat in the blind til dark with no action. My son see's the buck after school with 2 does. He calls me at 3pm to tell me. At this time, I'm in Bremerton and live in Eatonville. Bomb toward home grab my 8 year old at daycare and head for the house. 4:35 the 12 year old puts the hammer down on a beautiful mature 3x3 Blacktail. He was a little excited and the first shot hit high but dropped the buck. He kept his composure and put a 2nd shot right through his heart. After his misfire on a giant 3 point out in a clearcut on Friday that crushed us, this was a nice way to finish his season.
