awesome hunt in wilderness

Recommended Posts

I had an absolutely amazing time with my younger brother George and my close friend Dana Mcclean from Michigan on their 2013 early December coues deer hunt. Words cannot describe how awesome this hunt was so I will keep the words short and let the pictures do the talking. Dana, George, my dog Tila, and me covered alot of miles and had a ton of close calls. In the end, both tags got filled on some outstanding bucks and we made some long-term memories. Hope you enjoy-post-256-0-82280400-1386660249_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-55195300-1386659883_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-68389200-1386659890_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-06959400-1386659935_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-40179600-1386659929_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-61069900-1386660791_thumb.jpg

Dana was the first to lay the hammer down. This was his first coues buck. We had found it the day prior and it slipped away from us. We found him at first light the next day and he put a perfect shot on this deer at 308 yards with his remington .308. post-256-0-31654300-1386660577_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-05770600-1386660592_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-44727300-1386660607_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-28372700-1386660625_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-83542000-1386660635_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-27729000-1386660641_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-29576600-1386660650_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-21081700-1386660657_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-10529000-1386660660_thumb.jpg

 

George really did not have high standards going into this hunt. He was looking for a good time and was willing to shoot anything decent. None of us had intended for George to shoot such a good buck, but we werent gonna pass up the oppurtunity once it presented itself. He definitely worked hard for it and deserves every bit of this buck. I can honestly say that of all the kids I know, George is the one that can shoot a buck like this and not let it ruin his future. He doesnt get caught up in the "inches" thing. He knows that he may very well never have a chance at a buck like this again in his lifetime and he is very well ok with that. Good job George. I am extremely proud of you and watching you smoke this buck is better than me taking it for sure. post-256-0-81750200-1386661319_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-28978400-1386661335_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-85311500-1386661346_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-56594800-1386661352_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-12464300-1386661361_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-31085900-1386661370_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-48683800-1386661382_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-98106000-1386661388_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-40668500-1386661393_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-99246600-1386661399_thumb.jpg

George shot his deer right before dark and we were a long ways in so we elected to pack the deer out the next day and bring some pack mules ;) post-256-0-87214500-1386661597_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-08875100-1386661588_thumb.jpgpost-256-0-28760900-1386661609_thumb.jpg

 

 

I thank George and Dana for letting me be a part of their amazing hunt. This hunt ranks near the top in my memory bank. Thanks for reading.
