Well, we had another great family Thanksgiving in Northern Idaho and I couldn't be more thankful for my son Ben's success. The wife played hooky from school for a couple days so she could come along and feed us turkey dinner while we hunted. I am a very lucky man!
Ben put in a bit of time scouting up there in early October and it paid off well. The first morning we got to hunt he led me into a spot he had scouted and we found a small buck right off the bat. A little farther up the hill and we spotted an obvious candidate to take home with us! Ben first attempt at hunting whitetails and he will have a hard time topping it on public land. I bet he will someday though.
A different angle.....
I had to get myself in there too since I didn't kill anything.
Awesome trip! Great to share the time with family and to be there with Ben on his first whitetail hunt. I would have loved to bring another wolf home but with balmy temps the game was scattered far and wide. It was tough hunting but like I always tell myself all it takes is one and Ben got him.
