This buck showed up at 6:10 and was giving a scotch broom bush everything he had.

That is a gorgeous rifle! Great furniture on that!

Got my buck around 8 am , second deer tag Miley doe about 930. Headed home by 10. Best Friday I have had in years.

After passing multiple does and small bucks last weekend and dealing with the crazy wind, my oldest and I set out to deal with more crazy wind again today and see if we could fill her any deer permit. Found a couple bucks and got into position and it just didn’t work out, was heartbreaking to say the least and there were some tears shed, and I realized as a father with this kid I have to work extra hard on preparing for the season. With talk of just heading home I spotted a whitetail doe bedded in a perfect spot for a stalk. She was unsure if she wanted to even try a shot but I talked her into it. We got 107 yards away and I got her settled in and more confident. I talked her through the shot and taking her time. She touched off and I knew the deer was dead. Perfect heart shot. She went about 20 yards and piled up! Payton is 14 and this is her 8th deer.

@ljsommer It absolutely is!  A Weatherby that I bought my middle son for his forever deer rifle.... It happened to be in the safe, so I took it instead of my trusty Model 70, which looks worn out and tired but still shoots great.

Harvested this dude on Wednesday morning.

Got my first buck on opening morning. I am self taught and mostly hunt solo, so it was a big moment for me. Shot it offhand with my lever action 44 mag from a treestand. So exciting to see years of determination and hard work finally turn into success. Ill be honest, had a hard time getting out of bed that morning since I heard a lot about the EHD in my area, but sure glad I did.
