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

Fine looking mule deer . I really like his rack.
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:
Congragulations on the hunt. I know hunting and fishing with my father was one of the things I looked forward to. Big congragats on the new addition to the family.
Congrads dude! Very nice take!
Even better you spent it with your dad! I get to hunt next week with mine! :biggrin:

Congrats Dave. I 'm very lucky I get to hunt with my dad and both grandpa's every year. Nice pics and an even better story. :congrats:
Stu,
this will be our first little one. We are very excited!!!
Jerry,
Thanks and you are right the "Under Cover" work will sure pay off and I am postive that this experience will be my personal best achievement and responsibility. We can't wait.
Thanks to all on the comments and Dirtydog you have the right attitude and I know you will have a good relationship with your boys.
Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless Y'all
What do I think..... simply fantastic! Wonderful that you got to spend some quality time hunting with your Dad. And hey, very nice mule deer and the Elk's not shabby either! :wink:
It is nice when you can have a successful hunt, but you topped it with having 2 and having your dad along. Congratulations :highclap:
Wow! very nice. :yoyo:
That Elk especially is going to be some good eatin :eyebrow:
Nice write up, I enjoyed that Fireball :congrats:
Wow, very nice and even better you got time with your dad.
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.
