Buck Down

[Blainer]

It's been a difficult hunting year, we are not seeing the does we are accustomed to.
Today was spent hiking and as luck would have it, spooked this fella from his bed. Friends son, was quick and poked him sneaking away.
1 shot kill
Not a Cranker, but always just as good when a young New hunter gets to pull the trigger.
Nice 3 point, but more so, a Special hunt and first time his girlfriend joined
3 massive smiles, best pal, son, girlfriend.
Thats what it's all about
and the steaks are good

Nice work! I havent noticed the lack of does but not seeing the same bucks....i took 2 buddies out in bow season and they each arrowed a buck but other than a dozen or so small bucks its been nothing. Did tell another member where i would be going if i didnt have to work and his 10 year old connected with a 4x4. Only 4 point ive heard of getting shot within an hour of kelowna.

Very nice congrats to all of you

I've been hunting 8-7 for the past three days.. some sign but not a single animal sighting yet. At least your post is encouraging!

This is a tough one is it dad that has the proudest smile about his son getting a beauty buck, or the gal the most proud of her man, or dude the most proud of his pretty girlfriend, buck or both! LOL Its all good 8)

thats a great looking buck. Congrats.

[boblly1]

i thought mu.8 was 4 point or bigger by the pick it looks like a 3 sorry just cannot see 4 by the angle

[boblly1]

if it is a whitetail sorry for the mistake but it looks like a mule deer face

[antlerking]

I would say 3 point mule deer shoot in October mule deer doe November and last a whitetail buck! Good job Blaine
