Been playing guide this year. Got my brother on a buck
Lots of blacktails on here thus year. I love it. I took a shot on this one on the 28th. Trying to get the 10 year old a shot but happened to quick in the thick. He was tired so I was carrying the gun and had a tiny shot window. Rutted up, smelled to high heaven. Was cruising for does, he had just swam a river into the area I was at that morning. From the 27th to the 30th saw a ton of bucks out cruising in daylight in low elevation sw wa. This guy has some mass for his size and looks like a slightly bigger twin from my buck last year that I killed 5 miles upstream along the same river drainage.Was an amazing hunt to have my boy by me for the first time, just bummed we weren't able to get a shot for my son to shoot. I told him it was OUR deer, not mine. He was extatic about it the whole time. Hoping late buck pans out for his hunt. To top it off got it with a 20 gauge that belonged to a friend that passed unexpectedly almost 2 years ago. Very meaningful hunt all the way around.

I sure hope the late season comes together for your son. I remember how hard it can be to get them a shot as everything just has to fall in place but it will happen. Thanks for sharing.
Last day of early season in 105. Hard to pass up with deer numbers down. Very happy with him
