After Christmas we left Colton with Grand Dude & Nana and we headed to the Deer lease!!! I was so excited to be out there, it has been 2 years since I've been there!!
Cody really wanted me to get my first buck and so we were going to go and try. I was only out there for one night and Cody stayed a few more with the guys. I wasn't ready to leave Colton that long. We had a great time out there! At the lease it was, Lanny, Holly, Reese, Riley, Toby, Brooks, Cody & I!!
We had sat and looked but nothing great came out, lots of does and no great bucks. I knew as my first buck I wasn't going to shoot something amazing because I wasn't a paid hunter on the lease. I was just excited to get something! I also realized that my first buck shouldn't be something incredible because I was going to compare all other bucks to my first.
The morning I was leaving a nice buck came out. Cody game me no time to think and said, "Are you ready?" Well ok, it's go time! I put my gun up, cross hairs on him and Cody said whenever I was ready. I knew exactly how he should be standing and BAM seconds later I shot and he was down!!! I was so excited! I can't believe I just shot my first buck!!! It was a wonderful experience and even better that Cody and I shared that together!! I was there for many of Cody's special hunts and I love sharing those experiences together!!
Nice 8 point!!
Thanks babe for a wonderful and memorable hunt!! You are my favorite hunting partner!!!
The same morning Reese got her first buck as well!! She had been trying all season. I love that we shared this memory together! Way to go Reese!!!
Riley, me, Reese, Brooks
