I said best, not biggest, this is actually my smallest buck and first with a centerfire. This is however, the first buck I've taken while my boys and wife were with me. Their excitement made this more fun than any other buck I have ever taken. I seem to kill a deer once every five years or so, even on the dedicated hunter program. This little guy will provide some great meat over the winter and a lot of fun memories for my boys were created today. First thing in the morning we did it two mile hike on a road nobody had been on yet in about a foot of snow. We actually jumped a couple bigger bucks, but I missed a shot. Later we did another hike and after that one the boys were plain worn out. We decided to drive the roads in the unit and show them some areas they had never been to before. As we were driving around at 3 I spotted this buck about 100 yards off the road and asked them if they thought we should take him. Their excitement was obvious and I decided to go ahead and shoot the deer. So yes, my best deer is a spike by two shot 100 yards from the road on the opener. My wonderful wife took video throughout the day and filmed the shot as well. I hope I can have this same excitement with them every year from now on, although I hope we can get it done with some bigger deer
