Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Looks like I'll be cutting meat for a bit

Fellow Campfire Members;
We had our youth season opener on September 1st and although I took the day off work and did my part for global warming by burning a fair quantity of diesel, we came home without meat.

We went out Friday night and spotted a decent bear but couldn�t close the deal with him so again no meat. Our eldest had other stuff on the go Saturday, but early Saturday morning, our youngest dropped this when a 100gr. Hornady out of her .250AI hit his neck at about 150yds. It was the only shot available and she made it work.



We pounded the mountains flat Saturday night and again Sunday after church, but only burned copious amounts of diesel one more time.

This morning nobody was into rolling out early with me, so we went on an afternoon run one valley to the west.

We ran into this fellow, which our eldest thought would do nicely, so she planted a 130TSX out of her 6.5x55 into his shoulder, as per my wishes. He didn�t go far and she insisted that she be allowed to gut him, which was a first for her and cool for me.

Note the empty case between her fingers of the left hand...she's keeping the brass like I asked her to.



We had no sooner loaded him and made about 2 km up the washed out logging road when we spotted a group of does and two bucks, this one being the one that stood away from the group at about 150yds.

Again the little 100gr. Hornady broke both shoulders and again he didn�t make it very far at all.






It looks like I�ll be away from the Campfire cutting meat for the next few evenings, as our cooler is a little stuffed.

Anyway, that's our season so far, which has been beyond my wildest dreams for certain. As a hunting father, I really couldn't ask for better than this and I'm very grateful as I know I've been blessed.

Thanks for looking and all the best to you all in your upcoming hunts.

Regards,
Dwayne

Good stuff....all around. Great pics as well.....

"Pass it on....." means something in your family.

Nice job and give my congrat's to the "hunters' too....

Good shooting, congrats.

A deserved well done to the whole family. The smiles say so much and it looks like the weather was pretty good also. Please give the girls a campfire handshake from all of us. Dad you get a pat on the back also.

Great job! Looks like your doing your part in "passing it on" Kudos.

Congratulations to the family!

Great job, my friend, on raising those two right. And, congratulations to the two ladies for doing it right when the chips are down.

Awesome! Congrats to your youngins!
Now, when is venison dinner?

Great story, congrats on two fine young ladies.

Great job young ladies! Your dad has taught you well. Thanks for shareing Dwayne.

Outstanding Dwayne, those girls are some killing machines. I couldn't imagine ever caring about dropping the hammer on something again if I could take two daughters out and let them lay waste to mother nature.


Simply outstanding.

P.S. They almost dress like me when hunting...

Great shooting! Looks like you taught them well!!

Dwayne, great job of teaching the young ladies how to shoot! It brings back memories of hunting with my daughter when she was younger. We still manage to get in some deer hunting, but my new granddaughter is going to cut into our hunting time somewhat. It won't be too many years before she will be learning to shoot along with her cousin who is a few months younger.

Thanks for a great story, great photos and great memories.

Nice job very nice. Congratulations to all.

Well Dwayne, you sir are certainly doing something right. What a great hunt for you and your girls!

I can only imaging how excited you are about this. Congratulations to you and your girls. You're raising them right sir!

How in the heck can you get her to gut it herself. This weekend was the first time I've been able to get my daughter to touch a fish she caught, and she dove right in and kissed it!

Congrats again!

Tom

Way to go BC30cal. I like the way you've brought up your girls to really enjoy the outdoors and the love of the hunt. Congrats all around! Tom

way to go! cool report!

Awesome!!

Outstanding!

Nice job by both girls and ol' Dad! That is what I would call a good weekend. Glad to hear that they are willing to lend a hand with the work that comes after the shot...

Nice job Dwayne, on all accounts! Those girls are lucky, and so are their parents!
