My 09 Hunting season.

Hunting with four friends when they all got their first ever bulls in the Toutle was a blast, only topped by hunting with my 14 yr. old son and my brother in Iowa - what a kick !

Jesus Dan, work must be a little boring if you had time to post all of this. We know you aren't that educated, so it must have taken about three hours to type that four paragraph essay.  You should coax the game dept. into jailing some poachers so you will have something to do.

Seriously, that's an awesome truck!  Congratulations on the great year

Okay Dan I finally found those pics of your buddies buck.  To make a long story short.  This guy missed three bucks before he killed this one.   He used two different guns and missed a total of 20+ shots.  I'll let Dan tell the amazing kill story that is this buck.   Trust me its a pretty funny story.

Yeah that was an interesting day hunting with that fellow. The first buck I spotted he went up and over the hill and ended up shooting at him 4 times. All misses. Then I spotted a nice 5 pt buck with a doe at the edge of an eyebrow. We snuck up to the eyebrow and got 75 yards from the buck and he had no clue we were there. He got into position and shot before the cross-hairs were on the deer. He said he forgot about the hair trigger. He then went after the buck over a few hills and came back and told me he had shot 5 more times at the buck without hitting it. We then sat in a spot overlooking the river bottom in the evening. There were some guys shooting clay pigeons up fiver about a half mile, so I didn't really expect anything to come out that evening. Well about fifteen minutes after they quit shooting, this buck stepped out from the brush at 230 yards and just stood there. It took about ten minutes of me pointing out the buck before Dan finally saw it. Then he shot four times, clean misses. The deer just stood there. I couldn't believe it. I think it was because of the guys shooting earlier, the deer didn't realize the shots were now aimed at him. Then Dan shot Four more times without hitting the deer. Then on his last Three shots he hit the deer Three times, and that was it. He finally got his first buck after 22 shots.

Dan, the crowd you run with singlehandedly may keep the ammo companies in business. Between muzzleloading and rifle hunting you guys must have put ten pounds of lead into the air.
