Deer is out of the way elk next
 

My son Jacob and I went on our yearly ML hunt. I got into camp a couple days before Jacob did. I saw a lot of deer this year but very few bucks. The night before Jacob got there I saw a real nice 4 point. The next morning we were on a ridge and Jacob hisses at me. I look up to see the 4 point run to the right, and a buck up hill looking at me. I asked Jacob which was bigger. He said "down hill", so I went for the smaller buck leaving the bigger one for Jacob. Then Jacob told me that he left his sight in the truck. I went for the smaller buck anyway to save the bigger one for Jacob to try to get.
I went for a neck shot at 30 yards and he was down in an instant.





We got him to the trail, loaded and headed back to camp to skin.



We spent the next three days hunting that buck. Jacob saw him five times and I saw him two times.





Jacob passed a lot of deer on the hunt, all doe's. But he was able to shoot a grouse with his air pistol.



We had a great hunt. Next up is a late cow elk hunt.

Congrats Ron! Sounds like a fun hunt with your son.

Sounds like a good hunt. Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Am I remembering correctly that your son took a buck last year on the hunt?

Actually he shot a doe last year



He shot a pretty good little buck in 2017.

Awesome! Great pics, great hunt with your son.

That, my friend, is called the good life.

Thanks guys

Any time you can hunt with family its a great hunt, Congratulations
