Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game 2019 Hunting Season

Could have been one of the biggest hunts of my life. My brother is a game warden / I’m a federal trapper. We have not hunted opening week of deer season together for 25 years. He has always worked much of deer season. He was diagnosed with stage 4 liver and colon cancer last April. He is 45 two young boys. Given 5% chance to live a year. He called in November said let’s hunt mule deer together for a week. I figured it would be are last deer hunt. He had been doing chemo and had indeed went thru a surgery at md Anderson. He has done very well whooping its ass. Last Monday he was told he had 0 cancer cells in his body. We always have been lucky are whole life. Anywho we looked at many bucks over the days. We spotted this one maybe a mile out. We got to 632 and I poked him thru the lungs with a 6.5 bullet. The following week my younger brother came up and they also filled tags. My buck was interesting because of the mass. I’ve never killed one so heavy

Great hunt!
