6mm - Well noboday can kill um any deader than that. Nice shooting!

You are a lucky young man to be able to learn to hunt from your dad. I had a great dad but he was not a hunter so I am still teaching myself. Just like you I am also learning a ton from the folks here at the BaitShop.

Looking forward to seeing alot more of your pictures and reading your stories.

6MM,

Good job!!!  I sure do miss that Texas hunting.  You and your Dad make quite a pair out there in the woods.  Y'all have the deer worried for sure.  Not many hunting days left out in TX... you better go get one more.

Congratulations again!!!

Y'all shoot straight!!!

6mm Ghozt & Dad

6mmGhozt - Congratulations!   That's awesome.  My first buck was an 8 pointer too but not quite that big.  That's a nice buck.  Just don't get spoiled like I did, I didn't kill another 8 pointer for a few years!  I'm sure that you'll get many more deer though and any deer harvested cleanly is something to be very proud of!  Now, remember once the shot is fired and the deer is down, the work begins - you've got to field dress them and drag them out.  That's part of being a hunter too!  Give your Dad a big thanks for doing the hard and gross stuff the first time!  Next time, I expect you'll be fully prepared to do it yourself with Dad helping a bit too!

TimberGhozt - Can't tell you how excited I am for both of you.  You both have done very well this year!  There's plenty of folks I know who didn't fare 1/3 as well as either one of you did this year!  Congratulations!  Guess 6mmGhozt and I will be learning something new together - coyote hunting!  Guess I'd better get the Rem. 700 VLS 22-250 up and running, sounds like he's got quite a head start on me already!  Probably not as many up in my neck of the woods as yours but enough to make it worth the effort.  Thanks again for the yote machine!  Can't wait to see the boy's first!  Heck, if it will help I'll send down a set of field dressing gloves so he doesn't get too bloody but then again, what fun would that be? 

Good job both of ya!

Brad

Hey Moose..Yup it is about over.A few more weeks and its back to  calling yotes and hunting feral hogs.I still have not seen that big 10 point I missed early in the season.I suppose  thats alright..We`ve got a freezer full of meat ...but that big ole boy was in the 150 B&C class..He sure would have looked nice on the wall of my loading room.

Brad, thanks bud.We have had a really good year.It has been a learning experience for me as well.Trying to teach a young person the ways I was taught is a very difficult thing but very rewarding as well.He is learning well and picks up on things I do and things he sees in the woods.He asked me how I knew  we were going to see a buck.He doesn`t quite understand when I tell him  that animals talk if you know how to read their body language.I am sure he will pick up all the things he needs to know in time.You are right, the next one he downs I am letting him do most of the work as I supervise.Coyote hunting..he has a long way to go but I am working on it with him.Good luck with that electric call Brad..I hope you kill a bunch of em.Hell,I never used it..I prefer a mouth call,so I am glad somebody will be able to get it out in the woods and have a blast with it.

6mm, Congratulations great job.  Good shot and a nice trophy...but also a nice hunt with your dad.  Even on hunts where you come home without game, you will find you come home with some great memories and stories.

 

 

Ghost, Enjoy....it doesn't get any better than now.
