arg Report post Posted November 28, 2012 With Thanksgiving and club baseball my schedule was pretty much booked up until my hunt. After a quick turkey day with family. My dad, uncle, grandpa and I where off to the hills. We set up camp real quick so we can get one last look around before opening morning. That night i could hardly sleep...we woke up early and hiked to the spot where i shot my buck last year. With in minutes my dad spotted two bucks working a ridge. With no time to waste my uncle and I worked over to the nearest ridge to try to get a shot. As we peeked over the ridge the two bucks where already on the move..."dang they caught us". That day we seen so many doe's i lost count but we couldnt turn up a buck. After a good dinner and a good night sleep I was up early, eager to see what the day would bring. We decided to try a new area that we've been wanting to go look at. We started glassing across the canyon and all i heard was my dad say "I got a buck". After a quick game plan I found myself 300 yards away with him in my scope. As my uncle calmed me down i squeezed the trigger. It was a perfect shot that knocked him down. What great hunt with my family and to make things even better I did it on my moms birthday. Hunter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats funny bigorange, at least the kid is hanging with a winning team, I'm thinking about becoming an Oregon fan too( and I have a Zonazoo pass haha), its the only team in the Pac worth a darn(stanford loss was a fluke).

Redman Report post Posted November 28, 2012 Hunter, Congrats on a nice deer. Sometime its better to not shoot immediately so you can spend more time in the filed with your family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
