As I mentioned in my "First Leg Success" post, UThunting, along with his wife and daughter drew 4 great deer tags this year, You saw Amy's great looking 4x5 in that post, and many wished them luck on the next hunts.
Well yesterday, on the last day of the hunt, Clynt took his family out looking for a buck for 13 year old Kaelee. She had the opportunity to shoot a few small bucks but past. Yep, if you want to shoot big bucks, you have to pass on the small ones.
She said lets go hiking. While glassing, Amy spotted a white rump over a half mile away up in the ledges. Clynt checked through the spotter and it was a good buck. It took them over 2 hours to get around and above it. Not knowing for sure where he was, they hiked the last few hundred yards in their socks.
Clynt was looking down the ridge and spotted an antler right below them. Like 10 ft below them. Kaelee snuck up on the edge and peering over, tried to look through the scope. She couldn't see the buck. She turns the power down on the scope, leans out, turns the safety off and pops him, pistle style from less than 3 yards. Clynt catches all of that on the camera over her shoulder. The buck just rolled over and died. This is footage you got to see. Some of the cooolest stuff I've ever seen on film. And this buck is bigger than moms.
Once again, I congratulate the UTHunting family on a great hunt.
Great spotting by Amy, great composure by Kaelee, great camera work by Clynt. Family team effort all the way.
Now for your viewing pleasure, heres a few pics.
WARNING: The second picture is graphic. But this is a hunting site and we do kill things. Don't hold that against them. I decided to post it. Criticize me if you like. I can take it.
