2017 blacktail success thread

[TheKnigit]

I didn't want to steal away from the awesome story of another thread, so I thought I would start a general deer success thread.

My brother, Dad, and I all went back to our old and faithful spot for a long weekend. My brother and I had just started a hunt through the timber and made it about 300 yards in. I was sitting on top of a bench glassing through the trees when I spotted this guy. I tried to radio my brother but he wouldn't answer. So I took the shot at about 75 yards, but I didn't see him go down because of the trees. When my brother made it over to me I walked him through what had happened and we headed down to look. He had fell right where I had shot him.

We tried to get my dad on the radio again, to have him come back and pick us up. That is when I discovered that my radio was on the wrong channel....No wonder no one was answering me. All in all it was a great weekend and some good memories. Dad is headed out today to try and find another one, but there might be a couple of tags tossed in the freezer with this guy. Anyone else have any success stories from the season?

Good job out there. Looks like you stocked up some good meat.

Is that an old 30-30? I gave my 25-35 to my son to take to alaska, which was my grandfathers. I quit hunting, I developed a fear of some twitchy knucklehead shooting me!

It is a .32 Winchester Special model 94 that was passed down to me.

Hell of a blacktail man! I didn't fill my blacky tag this year but saw a few shooter bucks none the less
