Owen got this nice mulie buck this morning. He and his dad scouted hard yesterday for Owen's opener and found where they were transitioning from the Smith Valley ranches up into the Pine Nut Mountains to bed down during the day. That's the secret of hunting this area. He knocked it DRT at 175 yards with a 150gr Nosler Partition over 52gr IMR 4350 from his great older Husqvarna FN 98 270 Win with a 3-9X40 Leupold VXII. It's the same rifle his dad used in late August for his first ever antelope. I installed a Timney FW trigger that I had recently acquired from John Barsness, which helped make this rifle an honest "one-holer". ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/hmNeJrG.jpg)

Nothing better than several generations coming together and sharing in the things that makes life worth living. I don’t think there’s a greater pride that can be felt than having a youngster succeed in the endeavors that we love. Congratulations to all of you!

The things I am proudest about are that he hunts hard and is an ethical hunter. He won't take marginal shots. He saw this deer three times, twice running close by, but he waited until he had a good shot at it when it stopped. It was a one-shot hunt.
