Thanks for sharing, I skipped through it a little bit. That bear was awesome. So you guys did not hit that first buck?

He hit the first one, the cross wind at 400+ yards made the shot a little back..another hunter down below us ended up finishing him and killing him.

So when he gets that buck the next day it was the ultimate redemption moment for us..I was giddy like a kid on Christmas

How do you know the first buck that you wounded was harvested by another hunter? Did you go confirm that the deer they took was gut shot? Just wondering

Congrats boys on a successful hunt. Father son/daughter hunts are the best. Thanks for sharing.

Yes we did and we confirmed that. There’s was 4 guys below us which was the direction he ran and we went down there and investigated after we heard the shot. It was the same deer.

My son was sick to his stomach..so deflating but that hunter had the right since he actually killed him. His shot hit him really far back..so it was a relief that he was harvested quickly and didn’t suffer.

The highs and lows of hunting are crazy! Very few things can bring the highs and lows such as big game hunting.

I'm glad you and your son were able to experience your first mule deer hunt and take a buck. That black bear was huge.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks to everyone that’s helped us on this forum with our western hunting journey!

Why does this matter to you?
Just trying to stir some stuff up?
Did he look above,Or below, your expectations? And why would he care what YOUR expectations are?

 

[Sparks Shooter]

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. It's always a risk putting yourself out there on a forum like this but I definitely enjoyed the video. The excitement and appreciation for the animals was really cool too.------SS

Thank you for sharing your hunt with us, congratulations on a couple fine Mule deer. That was fun to see the bear.

I asked a question and the op answered, seems like you are are trying to stir stuff up

Great video. My two biggest Colorado bucks were taken very close to where you wounded the first one. Always hate to see your honey hole in someone else’s video.

 

[Joe2Kool]

Congrats to both of you! Thanks for sharing.

And yep, those muleys are bigger than the TN whitetails. A game cart is nice to have in that terrain. But quartering and packing out isn't as difficult as you might think.

You mentioned a Kansas hunt at the end of the video. I'd be interested in that video also.

Finally, good to have another Tennessean on here! Where in TN are you?

 

[Focoelkman]

Didn’t watch yet but kudos! Congrats to your son! Not much better than time with your kid chasing it !
Fun stuff !

 

[Focoelkman]

I read 400 yards plus with cross winds ?

Might advise not shooting in those conditions and get closer ?

Now to your video…

 

[Joe2Kool]

Also meant to ask, what were the ranges on the two bucks you guys killed?

 

[heywouldya]

The excitement says it all! Congrats on your firth mule deer!

because if he had not found the buck and confirmed it was killed by another hunter, his hunt should have ended there and tag punched. You dont keep hunting !

Show me where it says that in the Regs.

 

[oldmossback]

Show me where it says that in the Regs.

I don't know that it does say that but if we all just went around popping shots off at bucks and then moving on when we clearly knew they were hit, there would be even less deer than there are now. More of an ethics thing .

I get it. As long as it isn't a law, it's hard to tell someone else what they should or shouldn't do based on your ethics.

Most people make a reasonable effort to find hit game. Not all, but most.

Congrats. Great job!
