Friday Nov 16th we took our daughter down to Oklahoma for our annual white tail trip. My daughter only hunted 3 days as we took a day off to go visit her grandmother in McAlester on Sunday.
My daughter killed her buck on Saturday evening throwing her plan to kill two does first and then hunt for a buck out the blind window. She didn't make a great shot as I think she pulled the shot on a quartering away at 255 yards, as she hit the buck in the base of the neck and not behind the shoulder where she said she was aiming. However, deer is dead and we'll take lucky over good in this case.
Her little 8 point.
Also killed Saturday evening was the biggest buck taken on this property by a guy who hunted with us for the first time. He actually filled both doe tags and his buck tag in about 15 minutes using a AR15 shooting 64 grain Nosler Bonded Performance bullets. Check out this nearly 150" monster!
My daughter had no luck on Monday filling her doe tags as we sat in the blind that morning and saw two bucks that were a lot larger than the one my daughter had previously shot. She took my ribbing pretty well as I joked with her about killing dinks. That afternoon I ruined her hunt as I started throwing up from the ladder stand about the time the deer started coming out. My wife thought it was food poisoning, I think I had the flu as no one else got sick and we had been eating pretty much the same food since we got there.
Tuesday I didn't go to the blind as I couldn't leave the hotel room for fear of being caught without a toilet near by. Again my daughter saw nothing but bucks that morning. When the evening hunt came the story changed as my daughter punched her last two tags very quickly with two mature does.
We had a total of 10 people hunting this year, youngest was 8 and the oldest was his 70 year old Papi. Both of these hunters shot their first ever deer while sitting together in the blind, talk about a great memory for both. Here are a few of our hunters with some of their success story.
Before we left yesterday morning we had a total of six hunters tag out three deer each, two hunters with two apiece and two hunters with one each. The two with one each are still hunting and have brought the total count up to two each by last night. I don't know if they'll hunt tomorrow or not but it was a great time had by all involved.
