Successful Hunting Trip.

[xtrail]

We just got back from our 3-12 Mule Doe LEH hunt, it was a very exiting hunt for the kids and myself. My son had many opportunities to shoot his mule doe but they either didn't give him enough time, or he didn't have a clear shot. I then decided to check out Region 8 for youth season for any mule buck. We just turned around the corner and there stood this nice 2x3, my son made a perfect lung shot with his 270, and the deer didn't go 5 yards. Once we finished gutting it and packing it away, we set up camp for the night. The next day we decided to head back to region 3-12 to try for a mule doe again. My son had 3 more chances but again my son couldn't connect. Then we moved on and we saw a whitetail buck and doe standing about 70 yards out. My son got out and shot the 4x4 whitetail buck. It was our first whitetail. It was great trip, there was quite a bit of snow on Highway 5. I would suggest sticking to lower elevations for hunting as that was where the deer were and there was lots of snow up top. Snow tires and chains would be a good idea if you want to head out. Thanks to everyone that helped point me in the right direction. Here are some pictures.

Some of my best memories hunting was when I was out with my father. He has been gone for over 20 years now, but he lives on in those memories. Good for you and your son - I am happy for both of you.

Nicely done. Went out with my youngest last weekend we didn't see anything except a bull moose. But Grandpa came back to camp with a spike muley.

Nice job......if that doesn't get the kid hooked on hunting I am not sure anything will! Congrats

I am so glad it worked out for you and your son, xtrail. I agree, it is great country up there!

Did you get any grouse along those roads?
