Not a big buck but I am happy with it. Been a struggle to find a buck hereabouts in recent years so I made my mind up I was not going to pass on anything.
Maybe 8:30 Saturday morning. I forgot my shooting sticks so had to offhand about a 100-yard head shot. The shaky old man devil looked the other way for an instant.
Probably about 10-miles of biking in the day before it was loaded in the PU. Good and tired! By the way three points on one side even though it looks like a spike,2x3. :chuckle:

I took my twins out this weekend for their first hunting season.
We got one yesterday and another this morning. We made some amazing memories!

Great job dad, tell the twin buck hunters nicely done.

My 12 year old drew an antlerless permit this year. He shot this big doe around 8:30 this morning. His second deer. Still trying to get my youngest son on his first deer.
When I inevitably choke to death on gummy bears, I’d simply like it said that I was “killed by bears”, and leave it at that

Daughter got it done tonight in North Idaho. Got her first buck at 11. Down hill 100 yard shot, bedded and quartered towards her. It jumped up and bolted downhill about 60 yards, 140 grain boattails, 7mm/08 in Youth Ruger M77.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Little Pathfinder had a baseball game Saturday morning in La Grande, finished his game, packed up his truck and bombed home for opening day.  Made it just in time for an evening hunt.  A mile from the truck this guy just popped up out of nowhere.  Grass was too tall for the bipods, so he threw the rifle on my shoulder as a rest and a second later he was done.  One of the better bucks we've killed out there. 
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
