Holy freakin crap....that is awesome...great job...

Last week I had the pleasure of spending a few days in some rough country with my boy on a backpack trip. It was a left over tag and with direction from a good friend, (thanks Mason) we managed to tough it out enough for my son to take his first Coues. It was bedded at 400 yards and he made a great one shot kill. I was extremely worried how he would do packing all that we needed for those three days, but I didn't have to worry. He was extremely tough, didn't complain and had a great attitude. He kept saying he was going to kill one that was bigger than all of mine, but when it came down to it, he was happy to shoot this buck on the 3rd day. As most young boys are, he had a hard time being patient enough to glass, so he would ask me questions about survival, try a few survival techniques out, throw rocks, ask me questions about life and be a boy. All in all I was extremely fortunate to spend this time with my son, make some memories, teach him some of the little I know and bond with my oldest boy. We had some great tent conversations, cooking over a small stove and rationing water and food. Enjoy a few pictures.

If you add an extra plate to bottom of outdoorsman adapter it works perfectly for us with narrow eyes.

Man sure hope you find him and a huge congrats Ive been wanting to do that.

Freakin awesome... i killed one similar but that one is so much bigger and way cool

Sweet buck you guys get it done..not my favorite photos seem too exaggerated..

Very awesome... huge Congrats

Super buck, great job on sticking with it.

Freakin sweet..glad it all worked out almost as planned

its 36a..pretty normal

Casey, actually I put my foam pads between the packs on the way down because of how steep the hill was and I tried to counterbalance myself going down. At this point it was all down hill. It actually worked wonders. On the way up, the packs and rifle were close to my back and the foam pads on the outside. Thanks for the kind remarks it was truly a blessing to spend the time with my son. My pack wasn't very heavy, Even though I was packing for two of us, over the years I've acquired a ton of quality light weight tents, stoves, bags etc... so I was pretty efficient with my weight. Next time I won't bring my spotting scope though. Even though I did get some footage of a small buck at over a 1000 yards away. It wasn't worth the weight.

congrats to your son. awesome time and memories

Mine shot better with 90 grains of retumbo through a schneider barrel. 92 works great in most factory guns from what ive heard

Good looking bull..

BowPro archery.

Friend of mine, probably is the one. I'll contact him and find out. I can't remember what the stores name is.

super buck buddy, congrats on some super trophys.

BTW Kyle, my above post was jealousy talking. I love the character of that buck. Huge congrats nicely done.

Freakin awesome buck...But did you cut your own hair? No wonder all you sent out was pics of the buck with your head chopped off. Haha.

It started because most western hunters hunted more mule deer than anything. Since mule deer often times do not grow significant or even any eye guards then we count the "points" that mean much..as far as whitetail is concerned it is just tradition...

Great 3 x 3. If your really concerned about calling each point a point you better not count the end of the main beams..all record books don't let you count them as beams AND points...btw grow up a bit...

Thats awesome..nice job.

That is freakin awesome...huge congrats to the jens...

IMO one of the most difficult late season tags to have. If you want your boys to have success then I wouldn't have them pass much of anything, maybe some spikes or so, but it can be difficult to hunt this unit. Good luck and have fun and I agree with non-typ, children especially boys can learn as much or more by spending time the woods with a father or other adult than being cooped up in a class room.

super pictures. I took a couple on an elk hunt in those same areas. very nice
