Sweet Halloween. Auroras first deer.

Recommended Posts

Well my daughter didn't draw a elk or deer tag for the youth hunt but scored a leftover early 35a tag. Opening morning my mom had to have a valve put in for some upcoming cancer treatments which my wife had to take her to Tucson for. That left me on baby duty. I was at least able to go out in the am just to see how many people were out and try n spot something for her in the evening. Found 5 bucks together and one was a small 3x3. Once mom got back we headed out but there were trucks at the spot so we moved on. She had a crack at a couple forkies that night and missed. Next morning we got on some but they skylined themselves before the shot so we waited for a minute and went up the hill after them, spotted 2 more bucks from there but were to close to house to shoot. Monday evening my buddy Josh came out to help us out and we spotted a spike bedded down at last light. We got her all set up for a 255 yard shot and she missed. Tuesday morning we went out and started glassing different spots and spotted a group of 4 deer out in the open. Got her set up and she was able to get one shot @ 155 yards off before they went up over a ridge. She shot and the buck jumped straight up in the air like 4 feet. It was awesome! More great memories to be had this Halloween. We ended a great day with some trick or treating with all the kids!

The baby even came out to poke him in the eyes and get her hands bloody. She also petted him and gave him a few kisses.

Congratulations to the young lady. It seems like she will have some competition in a few years. The little one has her eyes on the prize also.
