my daughters first deer!!!
« on: October 31, 2010, 09:57:33 AM »
My daughter drew for the green river youth tag, we haven't hunted real hard the past 4 years since she passed her hunting class so this was her best shot at getting her first deer. Lucky for us my dad also drew a  tag for the water shed, his was a doe tag.  To be able to hunt with my dad, daughter and my wife in a special place was truly a blessing.  Our day started off with seeing one spike elk with 6 cows, and an hour after light my dad spotted two does which he decided to pass on hoping we would shoot a buck first.  We thought it would be possible to shoot a buck and at the same time get the doe that he would likely be with, well that's exactly what happend. It couldn't have been more perfect of a morning.  We went up higher to some older clear cuts about 930 in the morn, just as a turned a corner my dad See's the biggest buck he's ever seen.  We keep driving to get around the corner so the deer couldn't see us, he was bedded down with a doe about 30 yards off the road up a slight hill.  I got my daughter out a walk down the road around the corner and there he was, set her up on the tripod for a good rest and then he stood up just as she was ready.... perfect timing- BOOM!  The buck walk up hill slowly and started wobbling I knew he was done at that point, as he started going down my dad asked "Is that a doe" and then it hit me we had one more deer to shoot.  Yes it was a doe and my dad took her out with one shot, both deer down in less than 30 seconds with one shot each.  I couldn't believe the size of the buck that she got, I've been hunting blacktails since I was 18 and now I'm 41 without shooting a buck close to this size. It was one of the most specials days in my life and I could tell my dad's as well, and with his health getting worse this hunt was truly a blessed event and I did thank God for everything. I am sooo proud of my daughter, she was so calm and made a perfect shot. Saturday was the Perfect day, thanks for reading our adventure.

Nice buck. Even sweeter the way the whole hunt went down. Good for you and the family for hunting together.

So nice.  The buck is great, but three generations hunting together and there for the kill ... priceless.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
