My boy and I went out for opening day and we saw a wack of does, 6 bears, and a couple of nice buck but he was not able to get a shot off. He then passed up a spike white tail, saying, it is too small!
Day 2 we left Jamison and headed up to Surrey Lake. We got there in the late afternoon, we set up camp and left for a walk to check out all the logging that has happened this year....our honey holes were clear landings now. Sunset was fast upon us so we decided to head up the power line to scout some new areas. As we were heading up the road we could see a truck parked in the middle of the road about 1.5 km away. I told my son, must be someone chasing a buck. As we got closer, we could see the people in the truck. We stopped behind them they were 2 older guys checking out a group of mulies, doe, small buck and a boomer 4 point. The deer were only 50 yards off the road. I had my bow but I told the kid to get out and pop the big one! He jumped out, loaded his 243, lined up, and BOOM...lung shot, dropped the big boy in his tracks! Not bad for a 12 year old!
Dressed out at 165lbs at the butcher's.
