Hello all,
My Grandfather, Dad and son just returned from our 4 generation hunt in Montana. We had a great hunt with memories we will enjoy and cherish. After a long drive, my son was tired on our first day of hunting.
On Friday we hunted hard finally finding an old buck past his prime for my Dad. The buck was 28" wide that my Dad was tickled to shoot. It was a 300 yard shoot with a Rem 700 Mountain Rifle with a handloaded 139 gr. Hornady.
I hunted Saturday over a alfalfa field and caught a whitetail sneaking back into the hills. He should have been left another year but with blue tongue going through so often, I would rather shoot him than a mule deer. I shot him at 260 yards with my custom Rem 721 270 Win with a Benchmark barrel and a 140 Accubond.
My Grandfather is 88 and has hunted with us almost every year since I was in high school decide he wnated to shoot his first deer this year. He has always been a bird hunter and usually shoots a turkey when we go out west. We bought him a whitetail doe tag with the hopes of finding him a nice doe. He took a 210 yard shot and shot a beautiful dry doe on his first shot. His exact words were "I don't know why you guys miss so often". His first deer was a "rush" and I hope it isn't his last!
Since I had to pull my son out of school and Mom is a teacher, we had to make it educational. We found an ant hill that usually holds some Indian trade beads. An awesome find again this year.
It was a great trip and I feel blessed to be able to hunt with my Gramps, Dad, and son every year.
