Deer - lets see em

[huntin24/7]

After taking a couple nice muleys the last 2 years, my step son wanted to take his first whitetail. The whole family was able to get in on the tracking job after we had to give him a little time to expire. I knew he was hit hard but didn’t go down right away. A short tracking job later and we found him.

My dad (third from the right) shot this buck in the early ‘50s in “the mountains” of West Virginia. My grandfather appears to have been pretty proud of it.

Archery double in MT this year. Muley region 7 in September, whitetail region 2 November. Fun times. It was a 100 degree difference in temperature.

Drought hurt

With above average temperatures here in the Midwest the weather finally turned cooler and I was able to fill my tag on a deer that I've had 9 encounters with this fall. Good luck to all those with a tag still in their pocket!

Went back to my old stomping grounds on a weapons restricted area. Rattled this buck into about 35 yards and one slug was all that was needed. He came in on a dead sprint. It was really cool to see, and happened fast.
We had a half mile pack out, pretty straightforward and it was one of those 'right place, right time' kind of hunts. Really fun to get out and rattle in a buck. Tons of deer sign, rubs, etc. I used the same beat up Rem 870 with the bead sight that I have used on doves, ducks, geese, pheasants and deer. I am officially a "short range" slug gun hunter.

I'm guessing you've got a hell of a rec room. Anybody ever tell you that you look like Burt Gummer?

Congrats on the great buck!

I like a photo where you can look at it and feel the temperature. Real nice buck and field pics.

I am humbled and honored to be compared to Burt Gummer...

Opening morning in November, New Mexico. We bumped a young 3x3 mid morning and had the sun right over our heads, and he just stood there looking at us broadside for 60 seconds. I think I could have held out for a bigger buck had I gone higher up the mountain, but I'm glad I took the shot when I did. First animal I've taken on my own! I've had chances on elk and antelope in the past couple years that just didn't pan out, so to end this year on a high note was great.

As a whitetail guy... it's hard to overstate how cool this is.
