Well the Montana general big game is finally over. This year my daughter put in her very first hunting season. She passed on some bucks because she just was not comfortable with the shot. She hunted with me in between basketball games and social events on her calendar. She got up at 5 a.m. several mornings to head out. She got to experience blow outs on the pick up, tire changes, cold, wind and rain. Through it all she hung tough. Finally today at 3:45 p.m. she connected on a mule deer buck!!! 3x3 19 inches wide. We spotted the buck on a side hill about 600 yards away, there were about 8 does between us and him so we had to skirt around them without spooking them.
We peek over a ridge and he was feeding broadside on the sidehill. I ranged it for her at 281 yards. She calmly put down her bi-pod and asks me to range him again, Still reads 281 yards she puts the scope on him and gets steady and sqeezes off a shot and the buck jumps up and starts to stumble. He rolls to the bottom of the hill stone cold dead. Perfect shot that took out both lungs.
It was the most rewarding hunting I have ever done. I will post pics as soon as I get them developed. I am so pumped!!!!!
