Brothers It came down to the last day for Char getting her buck. We sighted in rifles Friday had cocktails and dinner....this is the way to hunt! The owner Diane and Phil a family friend was there...had the whole place to ourselves...my my what a nice property.....the ranch owns the hills in front of the lodge....high fenced . we hunted low fence and there was plenty of 4 points and 6 points,but Char was holding out for a big 8....so it came down to the last morning,,,,,It took a lot of convincing to put war paint on her...I used 3 color camo all over her face...what a hoot when she walked in the main lodge before going out <lmao>
Well it worked...a nice 8 point came in....she put the smackdown on him....he ran for the hills,but dropped after 50yds.....so we waited for 30 mins or so,and my doe came in....boom...all done
What a great hunt....Diane. Phil. and Mark our guide are some of the most wonderful people you would ever want to hang with! The food ...my oh my I gained poundage ....Char would not let me post up a pic of her cause of all the camo on her face...but here's the buck without her :) Wash
sittin on the porch....the hills are the high fence area
The rut was just getting started...bucks were chasing and we had 7 turkeys come to within 20 yds
