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!

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.

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.
