Wife's First Buck

[AZ402]

My wife (Carol) finally drew a deer tag here in AZ with her friend Jen (her first hunt as well). Both Carol and Jen put the time in shooting and preparing for the hunt. They both wanted to hold out opening weekend for something that wasn't a spike or two point.

On Sunday morning we glassed up a nice buck and decided to make a stalk on him. We closed the distance to 200 yards and started to get set up. The buck moved himself into a nice shooting lane and Carol 12 ringed with the 300wsm.

Seeing her reaction to her first big game animal was awesome. Big congrats to my wife, she put in a ton of effort this weekend. Jen will get back after it this weekend, hopefully another first buck post will be coming.

Here are a few pics from the hunt.

Sunsets never get old up there.

Congrats Stan & Carol. It's going to be easier for you to go now.... but it's going to get more expensive! (Small tradeoff) Looks like you had a great time! Nothing better than having a few hunters in the house including Mom!

Very nice buck, especially for that season. We got our butts kicked up there the first four days. Lots and lots of small bucks but nothing like what you found.

Congrats to your wife!
