Great buck, pretty cool that you can take the dog along, better than any humani could think to share camp with.

Super nice buck and cool hunting experience. Congrats @JLS

 

[LuketheDog]

Excellent

Great job! Love that terrain. Mountain whitetails are my favorite. Awesome buck!

Nicely done, congrats. Great buck, cool rifle, even cooler dog.

A lot of work has been put in to be able to take a dog on a 4 day backcountry camping and big game hunt like that...really neat stuff.

I’m fully expecting to see Finn trained to quarter and retrieve deer on his own within the next year.

Great tale, and who can resist liking a dog with a beard......

 

[Gerald Martin]

Well done on all counts. Thanks for sharing the story.

 

[Hunting Wife]

That is a beautiful buck. Congratulations!

Congratulations on a great hunt !! When you started out with the entire deer in your pack, you made me feel a bit inferior ... took me two trips to pack out a buck last week

 

[HalfAce]

Excellent pictures. Love the one of your dog looking off into the fog. Nice whitetail.

Looks fun! Congratulations. A little spot and stock on some whitetail would be a cool different experience for whitetail hunting to do one day.

Congrats on the buck. Tell us more about the rifle!

Congrats on the buck. Tell us more about the rifle!

Kimber Hunter

After a lot of debate, I finally sprung for a new rifle. I threw my money down for a Kimber Hunter. Things have been super busy, but I finally got it scoped up. After mindless waffling on a caliber, I decided I was picking fly shit out of chili and went with the 6.5 Hipster over the 7mm Hunt...

I don’t do much spot and stalk. Better hunters than me might be able to pull it off with regularity, but I have far more success still hunting and setting up on pinch points.

Only takes but one lifetime to figure out roughly half of what there is to know about hunting whitetails in the mountains.

Constant learning process for me and I've been doing it for over 40 years.

Well done, great photos, and congrats.

 

[Dougfirtree]

Super pretty area. Looks like a fun trip. Congrats!

Congrats. And I like the classy celebratory food selection

Pre-rut mountain whitetail. That's one to be proud of.

Well done JLS & Finn.
