Chalk up another...:)!

Well, what a totally awesome season capper! Traditional thanksgiving weekend hunting with the family!! Took the boys back to western montana and hunted with dad as we do every year. Dad was on his last roll of Salami so the first 4 point was going to get it..........and it did

Way to go! Cograts on some great family fun.

And another........

My wife had a cow tag for the area we were hunting and I still had a bull tag sitting in my pocket....well, we found a group of cows but alas, momma was home with the other three kids And here is a before and after shot of Braden. Before, when we spotted the elk, after, when I explained why we weren't going to shoot one for momLOL He seemed to think it would be ok to shoot one for mom but I explained the rules of having to shoot her own elk, and he didn't like it.........as evidenced by the look

Oh, now and another....

And as luck would have it, I guess I was destined to cap off a ridiculous good season with a buck I found last year. I named him..........mr eyeguards, I think you will see why I let him go last year as I saw his potential to be a great buck if he could make it through season. Well, he made it!............At least until we met this year He isn't a giant, but I couldn't resist with over 10 inch eyeguards...........What a way to cap off the season on the last day:hump:

Nice effort with the kids CG...certainly got to cherish all those days you have with them on the hunt and a very
good looking buck on the last day!! Love the shooting stick.

Nice buck. Almost looks funny with the eyeguards damn near longer than the g2.

 

[Bambistew]

Sweet looking buck. I saw one similar last week, but the eyeguards where about 10" shorter. .

Congrats on a last inning homer. I was hoping for similar last minute success but ended up with a tag sitting in my pocket. Way to get it done with your boys in tow. Beautiful cape on your buck, I hope you saved it.

I literally LOL'd when I saw that. Fun weekend....nice way to cap the season.

About the cape........I'm so bummed, but the cape did not make it. Apparently a 180 berger bullet will put an exit wound in one that would just piss the taxidermist off, so I'm gonna have to get another one.

I agree though, was a beautiful cape without the damage.....dangit!
