2012 November Hunt

Post by elkantleraddict » Tue Jan 29, 2013 8:15 pm

New guy here so figured I'd post how I did on my hunt last year. This was the second time I have ever been hunting for me I have gone with my dad plenty. This is my first deer ever. Here's how the story: Well I'm 14 and on opening day I got my first deer. I scored him at around 135!. My dad and I had been walking for about 2 hours. And let me tell you my arm was ready to fall off. Then my dad saw a buck stand up at around 230 yards. So I got set took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. Then we crossed over and began to look. We weren't sure of if I had hit him because we didn't find any blood, and I began to worry. So we kept looking and soon enough my dad found blood. Then I looked up and there he was my first deer and a MONSTER for a first deer if I must say so. Image first blood Image when we found him Image Image me holding him after we got him from under that tree
Image Then my unpaid guide(a.k.a my dad) best guide ever free of pay and your ride home.

Thanks, but this buck did have its down sides. Such as long packout. This ole' buck weighed well over 300 lbs. The main thing is we had to hike out without the deer in order to get some help to pack him out.
