LAST EDITED ON Nov-09-04 AT 09:57PM (MST)[p] Back from the Quilomene helping my father and sister in law with their partnership late buck tag. What a awesome hunt it was.
We passed on 6 bucks early yesterday, and put Jennifer on a nice 21" solid 4x4. This was her first shot at a deer, and she made it count. I got her about 100 yards from the buck, and one shot later it was over. Gentry aka Littlefoot was across the ridge watching the whole thing. By the time we gutted out the deer and climbed back up, he was there with his atv to yank it out of a deep canyon. Let me tell ya, I was VERY thankfull. Next it was Darrels turn. He just wanted a meat buck. We weren't seeing any bucks in the late afternnon, so we made one final trip to the end of the ridge. I spotted a doe, so we got out. There was a nice 3pt there, so Darrell popped him, and that was it. Backed up the truck, and the rest is history. It kinda nice when a plan finally comes together!
ps Slayer:
Keep your hopes high for a bruiser. I passed up 80 bucks in 3 days a few years back on a permit hunt, and I'm glad I did.
Keep up the trigger control and bring home the BACON!
