Title: Montana Mule Deer Buck and Bull Elk
Post by: Fireball221 on November 19, 2007, 08:59:33 PM
My dad flew up from NM this season to accompany me on my special draw tag for mule deer here in Montana.  We had a great time passing up several bucks before I placed the crosshairs on this classic looking mule deer buck.  Prior to this hunt I was blessed to have also shared my bull elk harvest with my dad by my side as well.  What a season and the best part was having my dad along just like the good old days :biggrin:.  It's been about 10 years since he and I have hunted together.  Let me know what you think. 

Headed to Oregon for Thanksgiving with my wife for a surprise  :innocentwhistle: baby shower.  We are now in the 6th month of the pregnancy and time is moving fast.  I can't wait for our little blessing to be here :biggrin:.  Have a great Thanksgiving, I know I have much to be Thankful for. 

Dave

Great pictures, great kills, and I am sure an even greater joy having your Dad along.  Now, for the "under cover" work - CONGRATULATIONS!   That will make you happier than any hunt.

Nice buck and bull......I wish my dad would hunt with me, but we just don't have that type of relationship. I plan on having a good relationship with my boys though.  :wink:

Fantastic pictures Dave and really envy the write up.   You're a lucky man to have a Dad who still cares.   Last time I hunted with my Dad was elk in 1966 - the last time he ever hunted.   All I have is memories now, and the British MK4 303 blunderbuss Ackley sporterized for him in the mid 50's that he hunted all his big game with.
