[QUOTE="hunter67wa, post: 1740958, member: 28295"] Well son had another learning lesson well actually two of them. He got down in some timber in thigh deep snow and came across a buck rubbing a tree. He said it was the biggest Mule deer he had ever seen now standing at 40 yards. 30" trashy 6 point right side. All he could see was hindquarters and head some neck. He thought well I will wait and when he's done and steps out I will shoot him. Well buck finishes and walks directly away so no shot. Never to be seen again. I asked why didn't you shoot him in the neck and he said well I don't know was thinking I would get a lung shot. So we hunt on. That evening we made a plan to split up and watch a canyon. Well he walk and I glass from sxs. I hear a shot hmmmm that sounded like him. Radio crackles and he said he shot a buck no more waiting. He then says hurry and get down here as I shot the smallest of three bucks as he hadn't seen the other two. oops. He said he should have waited. I grabbed my pack and set off. I get down to him and he said get ready as they will be coming out. I use bino's first buck comes out and I range him at 190y. Luke said wait thats not the biggest one. Other buck comes out and Im on rifle and I say your right that one is quite bigger. Time to start packing out deer! This time waiting might have paid.[ATTACH=full]155179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]155180[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
