But It still turned out to be a good season. I had to work opening weekend of rifle deer season for the first time in 13 years. :bash: So on Tuesday I got the day off and decided to take my nephew hunting. It was his first trip hunting and he was expecting to just get a doe.
On our way in to our planned sitting location, we seen a few does and a small buck but didn't have any shot opportunity. We sat down for about 10 minutes and out walks this little buck 100 yards below us. It took me a couple minutes to confirm that he was a legal buck and as soon as i said hes legal, the .243 barks and the buck drops in his tracks. My nephew was ecstatic.
That weekend I decided to take the wife hunting with me on a productive piece of land that I have permission on. We see 5 legal bucks the first day but can not close the distance to get any shots. The next day a couple buddies meet up with us
and the wife decides to hang at camp. We got on a couple legal muleys and I even managed to get a shot off but didn't connect. In the middle of the day we decide to try another piece of dirt. My buddy hikes down a big ridge and 20 minutes into the hunt he shoots a small 4pt. I hike back to the truck and tell him I am going to take the lower road so we
can drag the deer down hill to the truck. As I start up the hill towards where the buck had died my other hunting partner asks " Shouldn't you take your gun?". Well I guess so I say. And I hike back down to the truck and grab my gun. Thankfully so, because I ended up going up the wrong canyon and this nice big 4pt comes running over the ridge and comes running right at me. I take a knee and drop him at 100 yards. Man I
would have been kicking myself if I hadn't taken my gun. lol Thanks again Phil!!

We also had a good late whitetail hunt. My dad, BLRman and his dad all tagged out. There were 13 bucks seen in two days. BLRman has the pics on his camera. Hopefully he can post them up.
If you are waiting on his technical skills you're gonna be waiting along long time. :chuckle:
