Hi guys. So I picked up a returned MT deer tag late in the game and took my 9 year old son hunting for his first time with me. We ended up hunting around Kalispell and I thought we might run into a Whitetail as they are very dominant in the area.
Since I had my son with me I told myself I would prob shoot the first 3 or 4 point buck I saw as we only had a few days and we were in thick cover. We ended up getting this little 3x4 MD and he was the only deer we saw all day.
We decided to walk down an old skid road to try and be quiet. There was literally no deer sign anywhere, not one track on or even crossing the road. I literally told him a half hour before we got the buck that it only takes one second to change your whole season. Shortly after that conversation I looked down in the thick cover and creek bed and this little buck was staring at us. It was almost like divine intervention as my son had lost all patience and was throwing snow balls at me and trying to build a snowman every time I would stop to glass. LOL!
My son was super excited as it was his first deer hunt and we got one! We were in Grizzly and Wolf country so that added to the suspense of getting him out.
He reminds me often ever since the hunt that "It only takes one second to change your whole season." LOL
Merry Christmas and Happy 2017 to you all!
