@Drake4 this remind you of the annual preseason phone calls we used to get?

We had a great couple weekends hunting for my son’s permit draw. Amazing country, cool hikes & glassing experiences, & quite a few deers. My boy passed on a couple a little smaller & ended up shooting this beaut today! Yah, it’s not a record, but it’s a solid, heavy, nice buck. We got to watch it cruise in out of nowhere & chase a bunch of does around, sniffing tail before giving my boy a nice 200 yd shot. He definitely seemed to be in the rutting spirit, maybe a bit ahead of schedule. Another one of those hunting experiences to cherish & my boy is feeling good! Thanks to the couple sportsman that gave us a little confidence boosting feedback when we drew the tag! * He’s a kid so I drew some sunglasses on his eyes for his privacy

My 12 year old daughter shoots a...

Ruger American® Rifle Generation II Standard Bolt-Action Rifle Model 46904

It's perfect for her. She's 4'11" and 92lbs.
Good luck on your hunt!

Thats a perfect rifle. My daughter is 15 and she can shoot the Remington Model 788 .223 pretty well. Plan to use 62 grain Fed Fusions. Last year year she used a Model 7 .260 Remington

He shoots a 7mm-08 & it’s served him well on several hunts over the last few years. He started with a .243 his first year when he was 10.

Good luck to you & your daughter, Pagosa! There were plenty of deer around & I’d imagine you’ll see some good ones at that time.

Thanks. We were going to try to go the week prior but she is busy with vball. Im always looking for elk too. Great ranchers/landowners down there

Agree. This unit would be frustrating without those folks.

We found a great landowner and ranch manager on our antelope hunt this year as well. Past two seasons have restored my faith in people’s generosity.

My son and I have been down the passed two weekends. Finding some fair bucks but he/we have passed so far . Hoping this coming weekend adds a few more as they get ruttier. Fun hunt though and he enjoys the amount of deer he’s seeing.

Well was a super fun hunt. We had run out of time essentially (guide has another hunt planned ) and needed to make it happen. Friday the 13th buck. His 67th buck of the hunt on his 7th day of hunting and 7th of the day. New lucky number? We saw a few bigger and a lot smaller. Held out as long as a 12 year old could .

Great mule deer. Congrats to you and your boy. Are you getting him aged? Looking forward to Thanksgiving week with my kids down there

Did you Guys get last year’s buck aged? I’ve still got a tooth from mine sitting in the tool drawer I should send off.

Have fun! Envious of you folks spending time hunting the unit this year.

No I didnt just assumed he was a 2.5 year old. You should definitely get yours aged.

Guys, can confirm that there’s deer. Don’t sweat it too much.

Please click on the sponsor links so the forum can get a few nickels or whatever out of the new subscribers.

You’d better ‘effin come back and post some pictures. If you don’t intend to then I hereby cast a pox that’ll get you and your children who drew the tag nothing better than a forkhorn.

Also, I totally changed the name of the thread to a unit that went away under the “Great Simplification.” But I did used to draw some WT B tags in that unit that the thread is now named after and killed my first deer in there.

Well, thanks for two out of three coming back to fill us in on how the hunt went. Still some season left, but @IL1keBig8ucks gonna get that pox if we don’t hear how it went.

Seriously though, I appreciate you other guys popping back in to report. Sorry I’m such a cynic but glad you had a good time.
