CatfishKev Report post Posted November 2, 2017 Well my daughter didn't draw a elk or deer tag for the youth hunt but scored a leftover early 35a tag. Opening morning my mom had to have a valve put in for some upcoming cancer treatments which my wife had to take her to Tucson for. That left me on baby duty. I was at least able to go out in the am just to see how many people were out and try n spot something for her in the evening. Found 5 bucks together and one was a small 3x3. Once mom got back we headed out but there were trucks at the spot so we moved on. She had a crack at a couple forkies that night and missed. Next morning we got on some but they skylined themselves before the shot so we waited for a minute and went up the hill after them, spotted 2 more bucks from there but were to close to house to shoot. Monday evening my buddy Josh came out to help us out and we spotted a spike bedded down at last light. We got her all set up for a 255 yard shot and she missed. Tuesday morning we went out and started glassing different spots and spotted a group of 4 deer out in the open. Got her set up and she was able to get one shot @ 155 yards off before they went up over a ridge. She shot and the buck jumped straight up in the air like 4 feet. It was awesome! More great memories to be had this Halloween. We ended a great day with some trick or treating with all the kids! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
