Young County 10

I was lucky enough to take this deer this morning at first light. It's not my PB, but it's a special one. I lost my dad this past January to cancer. The rifle I used was given to him from the bank he worked for 15 years as a retirement gift last fall. He never got to hunt with it. However, he was super proud of it and so am I!

Good times with something from your dad.

Great buck and even better with a special rifle of your Dad's.

Special kill for sure, congrats

Really nice story there, your Dad is looking down very proud. Nice buck, where you at in Young County, glad to hear about some deer on the move there.

Nice buck!!

Great job. Old friend.

Great job and nice buck!! Sometimes a deer can rank as a PB without being the biggest

Well said!!

Conrats on a nice buck.

Like the story and buck Jrfan, where in Young are you?

Great story and very nice buck, I am sure your dad is smiling big time
Dang look how swollen up that neck is

That's a great buck. I'm sure your Dad was right there with you when you made that shot. Congrats.

So sorry for the loss of your Dad...This is for him

Congrats on a great buck! Sorry for the loss of your Dad! Taking that deer with your Dads rifle is something special, I'm sure he is proud of you!

Thanks everyone for the kind words.He definitely would have been the first to toast! We're hunting our family place, 240 acres just west of Newcastle, off of 926.

I'm not sure if I believe in this sort of thing, but he just might of had a hand in this. So, I'll tell you the rest of the story and you can judge for yourself. I had a doe and two yearlings at the feeder before daylight. Right after the feeder went off, this buck came out and immediately began to chase the doe. Before I could get my rifle up, they were gone. The doe eventually came to a small opening, and I knew I would have a split second to get a shot when the buck followed. As soon as the doe got to that opening she stopped, squatted and peed!! Obviously, when the buck got to that spot, he couldn't help himself, he had to get a sniff. If she hadn't of peed, I might not have ever seen him again. I don't know if Pops had a hand in it, but I guess I like the idea that he did!

Good deal brother!! I'm in Young Co. too can't wait to get out there!

Nice buck made even better that you able to harvest him using your dads rifle. I'm sure your dad is looking upon you with a big smile. congrats

Great deer, great story. Congrats man, Your dad would be proud!

Nice job and great tribute!

Awesome. Congrats

Thanks for sharing....you did your Dad proud!

I have a knife of my dads. It's always in my pack when I'm hunting. My dad has been gone for 26 years. When I feel that knife in my pac, the memories it brings.

My heart goes out to you for your loss, but the memories are fantastic....

God Bless

Nice
