    Wow! I am envious at the amount of time you were able to devote to these hunts. That being said....I am also well aware of how exhausting and draining it is. Way to hang in there and work hard, the outcome obviously evident of your effort.

     

    Congrats to all on your beautiful bulls! 78 yards Chef?!?! Excellent shooting! Well done :rolleyes: And Jaycie...... 537 yards! Spectacular!

     

    p.s. Just watched the video. Outstanding!

    Her you go. Had the best hunt of my life! Enjoyed a great weekend one on one with my 10 year old daughter. She was incredible and so was the weekend. Got into camp around 300 on Thursday evening. Setting up camp we had 15 deer 50 yards away for an hour. Ended up seeing about 60 deer Thursday evening. Eating dinner that night she said "you know what Dad? That was incredible. Im ok if i dont get a deer. We just saw so many! That was cool". Friday morning she was up at 5:00. Asked her how we were going to do this. It was her hunt after all. She wanted to walk out of camp and chase the deer we had in camp the afternoon before. So we startered walkibg a ridge out with plans on droppeing into the canyon an coming back on anoher ridge. 15 minutes in we had 8 deer right below us. The angle was too steep for her height and ahe could barley see them. They eventualy got nervous and blew out of there. We worked over to the other ridge in the direction of those deer. At ththe top we wlaked into a father and son who alerted us to another group just below on the backside. We decide to work the top back up to the ridge. Trying to give everyone room. 5 minutes later we are back in deer . I got her set up and just as she went to touch it off the doe trotted away. My daughter was all smiles! She was loving it. We headed back north her plan was to walk another one of he old logging cuts. Befor we hit th next ridge there were more deer. Again she got set up for the shot. Trying to coach her as best i could she took a breath and boom. I thought i saw the deer drop but wasnt sure. Deer scattered everywhere. Then i hear her crying. She got a little excited and moved up on the scope. Took it in the eybrow. Al little bruise and a few tears later we moved forward to check for blood. I start looking for sign she whispers "dad that looks like a deer butt". Sure enough her doe wasnt 10 feet away. The video footage i got at a that point was priceless. She was so happy. Tears of joy and a little sadness. She was overcome. She approached her deer with great respect and happiness. It couldnt have gone anybetter. The hunt was over in an hour. She was done at 715. She help dresss the deer drag it out and skin it at camp. Asking question the entire time.

     

    Truly the best hunt ever. She says the worst part is she has to wait a year to try and get another. So happy to have a new hunting partner.

    So awesome! Congrats to the new hunter and to you dad as well... great job!!!

    LoL Saw that Uhaul truck several times... thought it was a great idea! We were up there for the turkey hunt and stayed for a friends youth hunt. So great to see all the kids in the woods, we stopped to help a dad and son load his deer in the truck,the dad was so excited and proud of his 10 year old son, he was bursting at the seams... so cool to see! The Game and Fish guys and girls were fantastic, really encouraging and full of information. Visited the youth camp and was impressed with what a great camp it was. Our friend tagged out on Saturday. We had an amazing 12 days on the 'Bab!

    I use the Cabelas Comfort Max 360, I've used it for several years now. When I sit blinds I'm there for 12-14 hours. This chair comfortable for an all-day sit and extremely quiet, even when you swivel. It's not light weight so it's not good for backpacking, but to carry it a little ways is not bad at all. Cabelas makes several different models now...
