Day 0:
I Left my school at 1:25 and quickly made my way over to the truck. Once there, my mom, dad and I began our long journey from Surrey to Quesnel, BC.
Day 1:
We left my grandpa's house at 6AM and started driving out to his cabin to meet and have dinner with our family. On our way up we decided to hunt the road I got my doe(LEH) at last year( http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/showthread.php?111484-5-13-Doe-Draw-Filled! ). We Hunted lots of the side roads and cruised the main road and saw nothing. But, just like with the doe, on our way out I spot a deer on the side of the road. I get out, although it was making it's way through the bush quickly, and load the 30-06. Just as I am trying to find him in the scope, I hear some crashing coming from my right. Out of the corner of my eye I catch a brown blur and knew it was a deer. I brought my scope over a little bit and the cross hairs were right where they needed to be to hit the buck. I squeezed the trigger on the deer which was on a full trot and when I brought my scope back down from the recoil, I saw him laying there. I dropped him in his tracks! We went down, gutted the deer, used the truck to haul him up the embankment, then brought him to my grandpa's cabin to skin him. That evening, we brought the buck to the house/warehouse of other relatives we have in Quesnel. They were hunting the area hard and had yet to get anything, so they were "pleased" to see meat in their warehouse. ;) (darn coasters)! With a deer already down, and youth doe opportunities in region 7A, things were shaping up to be a double header trip! (pics are coming in the form of a video/slideshow at the end of the story)
