hunting season review

[treyball20]

I thought i would share my 2013 hunting season with you. First i was lucky enough to draw antelope, deer, and elk in the areas that i was hoping for. First antelope Bryce and i spent a few days looking over many nice antelope until we found one that was "Big enough". He is not as big as last years but having Bryce sitting right next to me made it all worth it. He was so close in fact i had to ask him not to lean on me so i could shoot. As you can see he was super excited and was the first one to get to him.

Next was deer. I hunted the first day and pasted on more buck deer then i saw ALL of last year. On third day of season we got about 18 inches of snow. I LOVE to hunt deer in the snow, but once it blew for a day we had some pretty good sized drifts. Dad and I were able to make it into our spot, thank goodness for lockers and boggers. I spotted a deer that i had seen in the summer and during antelope season and knew it was one i wanted. After a mile stock in knee deep snow one shot and i had my deer. He doesn't score very well but was a big framed deer and not very often to you a shot at a 28" forked horn.

Last for me was elk. The snow continued which made it hard to get around once again love lockers and boggers. Joe and i were out on opening day and didn't see anything that i wanted to put my tag on. Second day came around and once again didn't see anything i wanted to shoot that morning. I know it was only the second day but we weregetting frustrated with all the dang 4 wheelers and side by side driving around. So we decided to try a new area and as luck would have it we found this bull right before dark. He is my 2nd largest bull and the heaviest bull i have taken. It took Joe and I 3 hrs to pack him back to the truck. It was a great season for me can't wait until Spring.

That is awesome and I am jealous - so far all I have is a doe not worthy of any pictures! Got until Jan 4 to find something worthy here in VA, though...

Wow! He said through tears.

I hadn't hunted with my dad for a few years so it was my goal to go with him a few times. He was with me when i got my deer and antelope. I was with him when he got his antelope. The people that I get to hunt with make for a GREAT hunting season.

[Big Skyz]

I might add the people that get to hunt with Treyball20 have a pretty darn good time as well. Like you Southerner's say...he's good people.
