September 1st-2018- Opening day of Deer/Elk Season
Moved from Absarokee to Big Timber MT today after an early morning antelope hunt.
I've always loved opening day as it gets the imagination going of the what might be to come. Today was a beautiful day. Saw a few antelope this morning but nothing cooperated .
Said goodbye to Absarikeebut i'll be back...nice place and even nicer people
Oh yeah forgot to tell you all they ran out of midsize SUVs so i got upgraded to a dual cab pickup as my ride for the week
House in big Timber across from high school i'm staying at next 3 days..nice location well appointed and very comfortasble
Set up the ground blind midday placed the Montana buck decoy in front of blind at 21 yards
The decoy worked like a charm. This nice 10 point whitetail came in about 6:30 to see what new buck had encroached on his territory i think. Shot was taken when he was about 6 yards from the decoy and 17 yards from the ground blind.
MT Buck tag has been punched
Deer only traveled 50 yards after the shot - ground blind is in the background in front of the haystack.
Thanks Dave Campbell for taking a few pics of me in the field and helping load him up
This pic was made before the shot as wanted to see how my make-up job looked. Not to pretty but it worked .
