headed out in the first few days of the youth season in region 3, with some friends. on the way up we saw lots of game, saw a nice cougar, lots of deer and a coyote, right from there i knew this was going to be a trip full of bonuses to the good times.
There was 10 of us so we split up into small groups, my friend, my dad and me headed out the first morning right at dawn to see what we could stir up. 20 minutes into the hunt we had seen many deer and let a couple of small bucks walk. just after i spotted a nice buck a ways a way and the stalk started. after chasing him over a few ridges and through a few draws i managed to get a shot off at him at 220 yards and he was down, thats when i started jumping for joy i shot my first 4 point. it was a hell of a drag out took us a couple of hours to get him back to the cabin and hanging in the cooler.

shortly after that day we headed back out to find one for my friend, lots and lots of deer moving around, but we were sure we could find one bigger. by the last night the patience paid off when we were riding through some grass lands on the edge of a swamp, on the far side we spotted a large buck peeking at us through some tight trees, he pulled the trigger on a tough shot through the small gap inbetween the trees, the deer at 150 yards dropped right away and the hard work began shortly after in the dark.
