My five year old and i went looking for the big whitetail on thurday but just couldn't find one i wanted to shoot instead we stalked on a couple coyotes and now he is hooked on coyote hunting. i skinned the one out for him to get tanned because he wants it in his room.

i have been getting very frustrated this year hunting west river cause just have spent so many hours out scouting and hunting and just haven't been able to find a shooter deer, so my wife and i went out on friday morning and just decided to shoot two does for sausage and jerky and then hunt on saturday east river for the opener since she drew a tag. Sorry no pics of the does. So saturday my wife and i went to hunt east river opener since she drew a any whitetail tag. We spotted a very nice whitetail just as the sun was coming up got within 250 yard for her to take a shot but she didn't have a steady rest so just waited. Then we got into some crp and crawled on our hands and knees for 200 yards to try and get a shot but by the time we set up they got on to private land and couldn't shoot so we watched 50 mules and about 20 whitetails bed then went and ate and came back at 1pm and sat till dark. We had a giant julie at 100 yards from us for about 2 hrs and many other nice mules but she didn't have a mule deer tag but i had a bow tag but never brought my bow and i was so frustrated but had a great time taking pics and watching them all. Had a nice whitetail bedded that we watched the after noon and he got out of his bed and came on the public but was just a few minutes past shooting light. But over all it was a great time with my wife and seen a lot of good deer here are a few pics of saturday i took through my spotter.

I really hope you all get on that big mulie buck. You have a terrific family there and you are a great Dad. It's nice to see the photos of your wife and kids sharing in the outdoors experience with you! Good job Brady

Great job man! Dad had a tough time out west this year as well. He ended up settling for a doe as well. Hopefully you will get on some of the WT before the season closes!

That so cool. At least there were a few yotes for you and your son to go after. Looks like he had a blast

West river rifle closes today but going to bow hunt hard this late season
Best of luck! Maybe the weather will get a little better! Cold, wind, and snow make for hard hunting no doubt. I have a sneaking suspicion you may be visiting that mule deer again
