back from bancroft

Were you wearing Orange??? My son was ready to go hunting on his own (those stupid men in orange :).. he doesn't want anyone to hurt bambi.. No matter how good daddy says it would taste...

I'm working on him...
 
Got a 6 pointer just a little SE of Bancroft last Weds. Used a Ruger mini 14 at 125 yds. Made sure there were pics and will post, just to piss off a dipper who claims the mini has no use.
 
The buck and a doe walked in on the last night of the hunt. I had many oportunities for a shot at the doe, but I waited for the buck. He stepped out and I dropped him. Clean through the heart. I made my gun safe, lit a smoke, (which I never do on the stand, but last night and all). Reached down and opened my pack, after a quick search I found my radio. I even got the call to camp in. It was then I noticed that the doe had been standing, watching me the whole time. I grabbed my gun, still surprised it had fired, being a 770. I pushed the magazine in and the sound of the bolt is what finally spooked her.
