    Hey guys, seems like I'm on CWT all the time. I'm blown away by all the new Youth Hunters posts over the last couple of weeks. I just want to congratulate all the youth hunters getting success in their hunts this year, and extend my gratitude to the moms and dads out there who are taking the time to get these youngsters out in the field.

     

    I honestly believe that hunting brings a family closer together, and you guys have sure done a great job of getting the next generation of hunters excited and passionate about hunting, and just enjoying the wonderful world of outdoor activity. Huge kudos to you all.

    Well said Coach!

    Glassed 3 bucks around 6:30am and watched them get spooked by some yotes over the mountain, to far to go after but to big to pass up.. Glassed till 10am and decided to go around the backside and come up and over to try and find them again...

    High noon and we leave the truck and start climbing ..and climbing... we get to the top and cross 4 rocky peaks to get close to where these bucks were last seen, we rest and recoup to slip around the mountain to start the afternoon glassing session...

    2:30 pm...We get set up and 5 min. into the glass I find a buck bedded 300yds. down in the canyon, Instantly I start to get Julian setup for a shot and wait for them to get up to feed. 45 to 1hour later it's a no go on getting him set, angle was to steep, to rocky, tree was in the way..etc

    3:30...a little frustrated, we back out and drop down to a different knob and try to find Julian a solid rest...This being his 1st big game hunt I wanted to give him the best opportunity at a buck, so getting him comfortable and stable for this kind of shot was priority#1..

    4:00..We find the perfect rock and Julian is set, 1 buck is up and feeding and the other 2 are bedded close by and not visible. I let him know that that there is a bigger buck down there and we can wait him out...I received an emphatic "No, I'll shoot this one"...ok kido, wait for him to turn broadside... he is 275yds away...put it on him and let the gun surprise you...just like we practiced...

    4:05... Buck feeding turns broadside...BOOM...He's hit, his buck moves into some trees and out comes his 2 compadres...

    4:06...Great shot Julian, You hit'm solid...I check out the 2 deer that came out and 1 was bigger and the other was smaller ...they are wondering what's going on and did not know where the shot came from...

    4:06...No movement from the tree's...give me the gun Julian, I posted up on the rock that he shot off of and found my buck starting to trott off, 2 shots later we had a whitetail double on our hand's...high fives and hug's and we are both super pumped..

    We climb back up to our 1st glassing spot to retrieve pack's and head down into the canyon, Julian heads into the tree's where we last seen his deer and find's his buck. I tell him to hang his hat on the tree above him and start zigzagging down hill..

    5 minutes later... we find my buck in some tall grass, I mark it and we go back to Julian's buck to start the breakdown process...

     

    I am sure I can type 2 more pages of this adventure but onto the piks...

     

    Thank you Juan and Ruby M. for allowing me to sponsor Julian for this hunt. His motivation and great attitude made it a great experience.

    special thank's to my buddy's Cody And Levi for coming out at midnight to help with the packout and pull my chevy out with your Ford, Cody...lol really fella's...you guy's saved me on this one and I owe you...big time..max
