So myself, son, DIL, and two friends just finished our deer season last night, and everyone filled their tags. My son just came along to help guide, as he killed his 2015 deer during the January archery hunt.
My DIL smoked her buck with a 466 yd. perfect lung shot with her brand new Tika Lite in .270 win.. My son was carrying it out for her, and before he got 50 yds., he slipped on the near vertical slope, injuring his ankle and knee. So what does she do, she hands him her rifle, then throws the deer up on her neck and over her shoulders, and walks it all the way back to the truck. And without skipping a beat, she guts it, then skins it, and then hung it in our tree back at camp, bagged and ready for the meat cutter. When she took all 4 deer to the meat cutter, she cut up the deer, and two elk that arrived while she was there. After a full week of camping, she stayed up until about 5:00 am this morning cutting meat, a simply amazing young lady.
I didn't do anything really, I just shot him. My DIL packed him out, gutted him, and skinned him for me.
The hunt was amazing though. We got to see a lot of really great deer and other wildlife over the last 7 days. I shot at a trophy 6x6 couse deer, no excuses, I just blew the shot.
But for me, the high point of the week was when I glassed up a big beautiful mountain lion and her cub from about 2000 yards away. It was simply awesome to watch her and the cub as they interacted with one another.
Saw a bunch of javelina, mearns quail, coatimundi, coyotes, fox, just an amazing week.
