Bearpaw Fall 2010 Season

[bearpaw]

Well Gringo, I'm not so sure all of them are great stories   but they happened. 

Last hunter whacked a fork horn yesterday afternoon just before season ended and is headed home today wth some meat for the freezer. We start hunting Montana on the 27th, I'm about ready to head out. Rancher says he has been seeing some good bucks as usual, so hopefully it will be another great hunt.

more whitetails from early season

The first boy is legally blind, but when everything is right he can see just good enough to shoot, Anthony was able to get him positioned for a shot at this buck which was standing still in the open on the skyline. His dad was especially excited that Rhett got his first whitetail buck. His brothers took a couple does, next year one of them will buck hunt, they take turns each year, one gets to buck hunt and the other two shoot does.

I am in Montana now, our Montana hunt is going very well as usual, seeing 20 to 40 bucks per day, Tim Downing killed a nice 4x4 mule deer yesterday with Anthony and my hunter missed a good one twice. The hunters also took a couple of doe deer yesterday.

Bucket List Buck
This guy was booked for last year but was riding his bike getting in shape when he was hit by a passing car, he almost died, had reconstructive surgery 4 times on his face. MT FWP refunded his license fees and I moved his hunt to this year. He told me this was one of the things on his bucket list. He missed two other nice bucks but finally scored on this one. He had tears in his eyes when he walked up to the buck. Sounds like a cougar is his next target for his bucket list, hopefully next year.

I just got back home and working on getting things up to date. As mentioned before, our Montana hunts went very well, here are some more pics of some animals Anthony and I managed to find for our hunters. John Grant got a nice antelope and a nice muley.

Here's pics of a father and son's Montana whitetail hunt. Check out the main beams on the father's buck, they were pretty cool.

couple more montana whitetail

We were glassing an area and a whitetail doe ran through so we watched, pretty soon we saw two different big bucks, Jay shot and hit one of the bucks and it run out of sight, we figured we'd give him 30 minutes before checking on blood, while we were waiting another similar buck came into view so Steve tried to get a shot but the buck managed to get into the brush. While we went to trail the hit buck, I had Steve take a different position in case we pushed out the other buck.

We hit blood about 50 yards down the trail from where the buck was shot and followed it. The blood trail kept getting better and better and suddenly we spotted a deer on the ground ahead, we set him up for pictures and video and then we drove the brush patch for Steve. Steve saw the other buck twice but couldn't get a shot.

The next day out Steve shot this other buck, not quite as big as the buck the day before, but still a great first whitetail. In fact it was a first whitetail for Jay too.

Note - Two broken tines on Steve's buck from fighting.....

We just finished an awesome late buck hunt in Washington, we just killed a big moose yesterday, Anthony has a 5x5 whitetail on the ground today in Montana. Hunting has been great everywhere we have hunted this year. Lots more great photos to post as soon as I have time.
