Good luck to whoever is mentoring a youth this weekend. Post pictures of the lucky hunters. I'm taking two youths out.

Best of luck to all the youth hunters!

A tip of the hunting hat to all their mentors!

Dom and I had a nice 8 come running through, he stopped 125 yrds away, and turned and walked the ridge 100 yrds out, but just too thick for a shot.

My neighbors son scored a spike, I'm pumped for him! He's been skunked a couple times

Had a great day hunting. Dom and I had a nice 8 pt run by, then turn and follow the ridge 100 yrds out.  He just couldn't find a opening he was comfortable with for a shot.  Had a doe bed down 100 yrds out for a hr or so.  This evening we hunted a field edge.  Had 8 doe, fawn about 150 yrds out.  Around 5:45 Dom spotted a deer 80yrds, behind the only tree in this field. It was a buck.  After 20 minutes of this deer facing us, turning broadside, but behind limbs. Walking away, then turning around and coming back, Dom finally had a shot.  Dropped in it tracks. Needed a second shot in the neck when we walked up to it as he spined it.   Nice little 7 pt.  Wow was he excited.

This afternoon it was Tyler who connected.  We were walking in, and when we got to the field, I spotted a 4pt feeding.   Tyler had to sneak a few yrds to clear the hedge row, and used the bipod on his .270 to get a solid rest.  105 yrds. Deer went 10' and dropped. 122lb 4 pt.  Couldn't smack that smile from his face. 

Tomorrow both Tyler and Dom get a lesson on processing deer.

She looks like a good size doe.  Congrats on his first deer.
