218buck Report post Posted October 10, 2015 My daughter Tessa told me before this years deer hunt she would not settle for anything less than a four point I thought to myself whatever. Well after hunting the first couple of days we had seen close to 20 bucks one crab clawed four point and a smaller 4x3 she was sticking to her guns she would not have any part in trying to kill one of these deer know matter how much I pleaded. A good friend of mine Mark told me he had seen some good bucks on a recent bear hunt, and offered to take us in there. We went in on Sunday morning after an hour of glassing nothing. Then all of a sudden there was nothing but antlers in my binos a couple were definitely shooters. We made a quick plan went after them but they got over a ridge and into some thick stuff just a few minutes before we could get a shot. So we backed out waited all day but they never appeared, right before dark a bull bugled close to us so we cow called a few times and before we new it there was a nice 6 point bull and his harem standing at about 25 yards from us . Tessa has a bull tag for this same unit so she was pretty excited. Friday we decided to meet Mark and try again after school we headed up we started glassing but we were seeing nothing but elk. Then Mark says I have a buck in that same clearing we took off because daylight was fading fast we left Mark on the hill to keep a eye on the buck he called and told us another buck and doe had just joined up with the original buck. We were closing the distance fast but Mark had lost sight of the deer but told us were he thought they were headed. We saw the doe feeding about 150 yards in front of us she had know idea we were there, I told Tessa to get ready because the bucks would be right behind her sure enough when this one stepped out she calmly squeezed off a shot and was able to harvest this great buck. Thanks for all your help Mark 24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allan Report post Posted October 10, 2015 I'm know I had as much fun as both of you, I was a nervous wreck watching those deer disappear into the junipers, not knowing you were right on top of them. Tessa made all the right decisions on how to stalk them, made a great shot, and ended up with a great buck! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
