218buck Report post Posted October 23, 2014 My daughter Tessa and myself were invited to Idaho this year to hunt deer on our friend ranch Karl Tyler. He owns a 25000 acre ranch in Leadore Idaho I had just purchased a truck from his dealership in Missoula Montana a 2014 Chevy my wife's best friend Sandy Tyler delivered it to us just in time for my wonderful wife's birthday. After a great weekend Sandy suggested that we come to the ranch for a deer hunt I said what the heck lets do it. Well the days flew by, before I knew it was time to hunt. I agreed to let my daughter Tessa have first shot after checking a few of the farm fields and looking over 50 deer we had made a plan on what to do. After a short stalk we were only 300 yards from a group of 5 bucks all shooters all Tessa could see was there heads so we moved a little closer after a short wait one finally presented a shot my 7 mm atop a tripod locked down on the claw she was ready for a shot. As usual one well placed shot had her deer on the ground , once again I was one proud dad just over a month ago she had taken her antelope at over 400 yards. After taking her deer back to the ranch I went back out only to choke on a great buck and shoot a much smaller buck maybe Tessa can give me some pointers she is an amazing young lady I am so proud of her, we have a muzzle loader elk hunt in 3b coming up. she told me I can have first shot since she's not worried about me getting a bigger one I sure do love that kid.

43F Report post Posted October 23, 2014 I was recently in Idaho with my girlfriend visiting her family. It was amazing. I hope things work out for us for a number of reasons, but I'm not going to lie, getting back to Idaho to hunt is one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
