Couple nice 4pt whitetail in the cooler and a 3 yr old 5 pt bull. Finally got our first snow and a ton of chanterelle mushrooms!!!

Focused on my daughter this weekend with her second deer tag for unit one in Idaho. Had to be a doe. I’ve never worked so hard for a doe in my life. I know it’s a full moon but the deer population up north here seemed horrible low. Not sure what was going on but I told her we could’ve got 10 bucks around our house with as much effort as we put in filling her tag. She made one clean shot on a really large doe. Went in by the eye and out the opposite ear at about 50 yards.

Congrats to your daughter.  No meat waisted on that doe.

Her VTR in .223 with 77 gr boat tail hollow points did the job pretty good. Skull was all cracked up.

Did you guys rent a cabin? I wonder if the weather was affecting the deer habits this weekend it’s been pretty harsh weather between the snow and wind although it doesn’t look like snow was too bad for guys

We did rent a cabin it was awesome and cheap. Only $50 a night but with tax and cleaning fee more like $75 a night. Either way it was a great deal. Friday night was crazy, first time I could remember in November having a thunder and lightning storm. Best weather was today, she got it this morning.

Fun weekend, whitetail are definitely turning on. Friday night we had bucks all over us, 6 in total, still waiting for a 150 plus. Saturday we had a couple nice bucks (120-130 class) chasing in the morning near our place but we had to run over to MT for the day. Today we cut wood and saw half dozen WT doe and one mulely right on the valley floor with a 2 pt on her trail.
