My oldest is off to a great start this year! He chalked up this decent forky on opening weekend while hunting with my ol' man and his cast of characters at their club. This is his third Blacktail in three years and he is definitely coming into his own.
He spotted this guy bedded under a poison oak/chamise patch from his seat on the dog box as they were headed up the hill on Sunday to start the hunt. I was extremely proud that even though he spotted it, he offered the shot to a younger lad that has yet to tag a buck. Unfortunately the other youngster couldn't find the bedded buck in his scope and after a tense minute the boy's dad told Cole, "well, somebody better shoot this thing before he hauls ass, let er rip CJ!"
Nuff said, he made a nice 150yd kneeling shot and stoned the buck in his bed.
Very proud of my boy and it goes without saying that every time you get three generations of hunters together at the same time on the mountain it is truly a special day!
Next up he will be getting after those big boys further north at our place in Covelo, and then after football season is over its off to Colorado in search of a cow elk. Hope he can keep it rolling!
