This weekend was my first opportunity to guide a great group of hunters and hopefully create some long lasting memories with some great people.
We had 4 hunters and 3 of them had never taken a big animal.
Friday night we had two guys from Oklahoma who made great shots on a couple of spikes. Both of them were new to hunting and had just recently bought guns and started shooting. I was very proud of them for holding it together and getting it done.
On Saturday jds247 and his family rolled into camp. We enjoyed some Snows BBQ and then got to hunting. Jeremy’s oldest son had taken a few deer and hogs but was after his first elk. With the help of his mom and dad as spotters we were able to stalk up on a herd and Aiden smoked a big cow off some home made shooting sticks.
Little brother Brynden was priority number one on Sunday. He was after his first kill ever and although we saw a lot of deer Sunday morning nothing would come into a comfortable range. I tried to sweeten the pot a little bit mid day and corned a big half moon all around the blind we would hunt in that afternoon. I also set up a shooting sled to see if we might be able to extend the range a little. Well the does didn’t fall for the bait but B smoked one at 119 yards. He also got to use his newly acquired Jank knife to help clean his first deer. Jeremy has done a great job of teaching his boys about the outdoors and setting them up for success. Overall it was a great weekend although I got beat at pool and shuffleboard a few times. Haha.
With the hunters permission I would like to share a few pics of a very memorable weekend. I look forward to booking some more hunts and making more memories.
