My son got to learn what a heavy pack feels like today. Two front quarters and the head in his little Kuiu backpack, while I took the two rears, back strap, tenderloin, and loose meat.

Oops, it was steep, but not THAT steep. 😂 Not sure why it ended up sideways.

Edit: got my pic rotated.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

After my daughter tagged out on Sunday, I was the last one in the house with a tag. I passed on at least fifty bucks this season and made a couple good plays, but nothing came together. My wife and I were set up in one of my favorite spots at daylight Monday morning, about thirty minutes into glassing we picked up a nice buck over fifteen hundred yards away working a doe. We decided to drop back to the truck and make a big loop to get on the right side of the valley.

It ended up being about a three mile swing, but the onX mark put us right where we needed to be. We parked, started up a skid trail, and only made it about a hundred yards before we saw him. He was standing in a thin patch of reprod out in the clearcut. The doe stepped out first, so I set my shooting sticks on her, and within thirty seconds he followed her out. One clean shot from my 300 and that finished my season. 21 5/8” wide.

Now it is time to switch gears and get ready for elk muzzleloader.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

My wife got her first deer on the second to last day of the late season. This was her first year really hunting more than a few couple hour sits here or there. She put a lot of miles in so I am glad she could get it done. She is now hooked

I got my deer in Montana. Lots of people and not as many deer as years past but I was finally able to find a good one.

Montana 2025. Warm weather made hunting tough. Hopefully deer numbers improve.
