    All the long day's scouting and hours behind the glass payed off!

    Finally the weekend before the Junior hunt my brother went back into a place we had scouted a couple weeks earlier and found a really good buck. Opening morning couldn't get here fast enough, not sure who was more excited me or my son.

    After a long week opening morning arrived and we hiked in to the spot we wanted to glass from. Glassed this buck and the two point he was with first thing but still wanted to find the bigger one. We never did find the bigger one but after about 3 1/2 hrs of glassing, 8 bucks (this one being the biggest) and countless doe I couldn't talk him into holding out any longer, he was more than ready to shoot his first buck. We saw where this buck bedded so the long stalk began. About an hour later we were on the hill above him looking in the thicket we last saw him. All the sudden my cousin said "there's a deer", it was them up feeding again. Seemed like forever trying to hurry and get set up and wait for a good shot. Finally 280 yds he walked into an opening and stood perfect, told my boy take a nice easy squeeze on the trigger when he was ready. As soon as the Western Precision Rifle 7wsm went off the deer piled he got him!! I will never forget that moment I was one excited and proud dad. Kayden couldn't wait to get down to his first, we gathered our stuff together and headed down the hill to see his trophy up close.

    It scored 91 3/8 and I couldn't happier for him. He definitely deserved it, he was with me for pretty much every long day and sat through hours of glassing scouting for his big first hunt!

    I Want to thank my brother (to bad he couldn't be there for the shot) and my cousin's Cleve and Garret couldn't have done it without you guys.

    Well the youth deer hunt is just around the corner, I hope all you parents are just as excited as I am. My oldest boy turned 10 this year and got his first choice for the youth hunt (well my first choice for him haha). I'm more excited and pumped up for this hunt than I've been in a long time! Just want to say good luck to all the youth hunter's, there's nothing I like more than to see the young ones out hunting.
