First kill from a treestand. Man what a different experience. Wind was perfect, I was perched near his bedroom. Saw him at 25 yards in the brush (right when I was getting ready to get out of the tree cause last night's chili was screaming to come out just like it went in)  he slowly picked his way towards me without a care in the world. Got to 10 yards before he gave me a good shot. Could have punched a shoulder sooner, but with having time, I wanted to avoid damaging any more meat than necessary. Gave me a broadside, close leg forward shot. Both lungs and heart. Stumbled 10 yards and fell.

After 2 miserable days of high wind and rain, a few close calls but no luck, today was a beautiful morning. We spotted 2 bucks coming over the ridge onto property we could hunt. We were roughly 1000 yard away. We put the spotter on them and saw one 4x4 and one 2x2 who was equally as big. Perfect, one daughter has an any deer permit. We make our way across the draw and up to them. When we got there we found no bucks, and a big coyote standing right where they were. We had no way to know where they had gone but I guessed the continued on the same path as a few does we had seen farther to the east. We hiked up the ridge to find nothing. We continued on and I decided to peek over the ridge while my daughter was putting her jacket back on and there they were 200 yards below me with a bunch of does. I ran up to my girls and got them and we snuck down and setup. The big buck saw me before I could get a range but I knew they weren’t far enough away we needed to dial. They started nervous walking away and the 4pt got in the middle of the herd with no shot. Eventually he found his way to the back and broadside. She touched off the 6.5 PRC and down he went! I yelled at my oldest daughter to get on the gun and make the 2x2 but they went over a small rise and we could only see his head. By then they jumped the fence into property we couldn’t hunt, but we had one buck down! 12 years old as Rylees second buck, third deer!
