218buck Report post Posted November 10, 2022 Well my daughter Tessa has been dating her boyfriend Alex for some time now. He has never hunted anything besides birds well i figured it was about time to change that. After talking with Billy Gonzales with Bucks and Bulls about a unit that would be easy to draw as well as have a chance to have success we applied and were drawn. I had taken him out shooting a few times and he did great shots out to 200 yards. Well opening morning we hiked about two miles into an area we split up so we could cover more ground. We soon found a few bucks one was a shooter so my supertindedent Waldo decided to try and take him. His shot was almost 650 yards he made a good shot and the deer went down. The other buck with him just stayed put right above him. So we called Tessa on the radio to get over here with Alex we had the gun already set up for him. As soon as he got there the deer started to walk away Billy was able to stop him with a whistle Alex shot and made a perfect shot at 600 yards. So now we had two deer down we spent the rest of the day getting them out. The next morning we went to a different area we soon saw this buck that i was able to take at 700 yards. What a great hunt saw about 30 bucks and at least that many does spent Sunday cutting them all up. I do believe Alex is hooked and now ready for the javelina hunt we drew. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
