One day deer season
As the title goes it was a one day deer season for my boy that is I got three days this year. We moved to Calgary a few years ago and getting back home to go hunting with my father with my son has been difficult. Family and work commitments take a toll on my extra circular activities but when I do get out it seems to all come together. I got out for two mornings with my dad looking for elk and spent the afternoons drifting alone through some great deer country. The rest of my family got up from to join me on the evening of my second day. Up and out early to get to our spot and get into it before light. Well the wind picks up harder and harder snow blowing gross and nothing moving horrible morning. We put on a few miles anyway and spot a spike buck decide it’s home time for breakfast and regroup. Check the weather channel wind is dying down perfect gather up the gear jump into the truck and off we go. We get to the chosen spot close to where dad and I had run into a good buck the day before chasing a doe that almost became fatal for him. The afternoon of his one and only day slipping away he passed on a little three point that gave us a close up look. On the way back out to the truck we’re chatting about supper and a warm beverage a buck comes running out of the bush spots us and turns broadside ready to vanish back into the woods. Kalum was quick with his gun with an encouraging shoooot from dad BOOM the buck stretched out and wheeled into the tree line. We backed down the cut line a 100 yards and pulled out the phone to warn the family we’re likely going to be late for supper. We gave it 40 minutes darkness is pretty much upon us and we start tracking but it’s to dark in the thick bush. So I pulled out my phone turned on the light and we found one little drop of blood a few yards in. Slowly we followed the track that went from five or six jumps to a few steps no more blood a little disappointed we continued on a few more yards. Oh look he must have skidded under the tree why would he do that dad? Look beside you I your almost stepping on your buck. What a warrior this deer was hopefully he spread his jeans enough to be moline him.

Congratulations on a great buck Kalum! I have hunted everyday this November and haven't seen a buck like yours yet! I doubt I will! Thanks for sharing! I bet Dad is super proud!

The morning after and you still can’t get the smile off his face. The 110gr ttsx out of his 270 was lethal complete pass through as one would expect. Perfect shot right behind the shoulder got a rib on each side both lungs and a chunk of the far shoulder. I’ll post up a few more pictures for him this evening.
