Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Follow up to MT opener

We hunted Thursday through Sunday.
Saturday woke up to rain and decided not to take the horse for a ride instead went on a little drive to check out a piece of state land not far from camp.
Seen two whitetail bucks head into some timber and made a sneak on them,at about 125 yds they flushed out below us and stopped broad side and looked at me and Tony. I told tony take the first one and off hand he hit him dead center and a short run he folded up.
Tony was using my old 7600 30-06 with 180gr Gamekings perfect shot and great excitement to watch one of my sons harvest their first buck and nice little 5x4 with split eyegaurd(sorry about pic's cell phone).
We went out sunday with the ponys and saw two bulls way off and we never got close to see how big,but weather is a changing and I'm sure we will get into them soon....
Still have Elk tags and William and Carolyn's tags so more up coming pic's as the season unfolds.

Thanks all

Well done! With a noisy, no good 7600 to boot. Congrats to Tony on a fine buck.

Nice buck! Congratulations.

Cool. Nice choice of weaponry too!

BareBack Jack;
Its been a great year for young hunters here on the 'Fire - thanks for sharing your story and photos with us.

Please pass along congratulations to your son on his first buck, it looks like a nice one.

I'll send you a tip of the hat too for doing the legwork and putting in the time to make sure these hunts happened. Well done sir.

Thanks again for sharing your hunts, all the best to you and yours and good luck on the rest of your season.

Regards,
Dwayne

Congrats!

Very nice first deer, congrats to the young hunter.

He's very proud,has it plastered all over facebook lol, it was kinda fitting.The rifle was my old pump it hadn't seen action since Tony was 6 months old. That was the last time I shot a deer with that old rifle.

Congrats, very nice looking buck. I didn't think they sold Rem 7600's in Montana, lol
