Finally got a little time to hunt with my son, couple drives in one spot, really cold, went for a cup of coffee, driving into different spot and seen a rack buck beside the woods road, I told my son to let me out and go ahead and find a watch, I sat by a tree with my cup of coffee, 18 minutes in a beautiful eleven pointer gave me a shot. I couldn’t be more pleased, nice hunt, and a good eating buck, and I didn’t have to gut it.

Awesome!!

I love big woods/mountain hunting. Congrats!

Nice steaks, chops, and maybe some "Watson Burger"
from Miller's meat market in Lowville ?

Looks like a trophy buck to me !!!

We used to have a spike season here in Pa and that was fun. Now it is so serious, no group hunts, no fun stuff just way to serious to be fun anymore......j.k

Those are the kind of deer I had at the camp, mountain scrubs with spikes, some of them big, forks and small 5's and 6's. Alot of those 5/6's were 4 1/2 years old and up

I never hesitate with ones like that. If I have a tag , they go in the Bag.
Great deer and great story.

Yep!

And lots less meat going home.

Good job and good eats.

Is that a ruger 44 mag?

Awesome, sounds like a nice time together with your son.
I see he inherited Dads whiskers

Bluegrass, it is a ruger.44 mag, on the barrel it says , made in the 200th year of American liberty, my dad bought it for me new when I was 11, I think he paid like $150.

Semi Auto or lever action?

Semi auto, the lever guns weren’t made until later.

Congrats!

Congratulations

Just you and your son hunting?

Yes just my son and I, dad used to go but he’s been gone since 2008.

Nice.My older boy is romping around near our camp near Stillwater as we speak.He was wishing for snow.

Stillwater is a little north of me, some nice bucks in that country, your son might have snow in the morning, it’s raining ice here now.

Congratulationson the "11"
