My 17 year old daughter got her second and best buck today. The storm broke and we were out the door. I knew that after a foot of snow and single digit temps the deer would be up. I found this buck at 1:00 and we bailed in. We found it near impossible to get a shot due to the thick trees on our side so we took the gamble and moved over to his side in 6-8 foot scrub oak. At 300 yards we found the best shot we were going to get but it would have to be from a knee off my tripod. She made a great shot. The pack out was pure hell. It took us 2 1/2 hours to go just .8 miles to the truck. Straight up and swimming through scrub oak. She’s on cloud 9.
