Default Thanks Mom -2017 Whitetail

Spotted this buck with a doe bedded down . We were fortunate to make a good stalk on them And ended up within 50 yards. Could only see the does ears and the Bucks antlers. Waited about a half hour till they stood up for a good shot.
And the rest is history. Thanks Mom

Thanks everyone. I’m fortunate to have a mother who
Loves to hunt. Great memories. Thanks to an uncle H380 who
Taught us what we needed to do.

Right on bud. This reminds me once I drug my mom out for an evening hunt in a hay field and we ended up connecting with a young buck too. I think she got more excited than me and she still talks about it 12 yrs later! 🍻 To many more!

Nice buck and a great experience with your Mom. Priceless.

When I was young my Mother called me one memorable morn and said... "It's 9 AM. Aren't you going hunting today? You better go hunting." So I decided to go hunting at 10 am. By 11:30 am I was coming home with a nice big bodied buck. A mother's intuition? I like to think so.
