Last season recap which was my 1st in Montana, i quick shot a buck in some brush in bow range on my 9th day hunting before checking species , doh ! It was a mule deer. I’ve had to wait a whole year for redemption. Ha ha I’ve yet to harvest my 1st WT deer
Been out 3 days so far , I’ve let some small bucks go the last 2 days
Went out last Friday in snow only kicked up a cow moose hiking around with the wife.

Just got back from a 2 day trip to the same area, the snow is gone , I saw some whitetails, let 3 young bucks go,
Haven’t seen a big buck yet in daylight

After cutting behind the doe as she passed, I slow hunted on foot back to the rig and crept up to a pocket meadow , had 3 whitetails in it , 2 does and a little fork by one , he walked past me at 50yds , took this pic without the help of binos

After seeing no deer the last two morning hunts and only seeing deer out after 3pm in the evenings, I drove home tonight for a shower and rest , sleeping all coiled up like a pretzel in the back of your Tacoma. It’s not a lot of fun, but I’ll go back out tomorrow night for another evening hunt.
Then my brother flies into town this Wednesday for four days and I’ll take a break from hunting and then starting Monday the 13th. I’ll be hunting every day through Thanksgiving in till I get my buck, or I don’t ha ha
