| Daylight savings went away to day so we had to get up early, and | |
| leave at 4:00. | |
| Across the river to Iliad, Flat creek lake. Of course We were | |
| the only ones there at that time of day. We headed north in the | |
| dark along the boundary fence. One coulee, then another, and | |
| then another, and finally the last one. Still before shooting | |
| hours we started to spot. Yup a nice deer on the hill side, we | |
| maneuvered in to a good shooting position still kind of dark. A | |
| quick range and we are sitting at 189 yards waiting for shooting | |
| time. My boy and I talked over the shot, the wind straight | |
| sideways was pushing 40 mph. I waited for him to turn so the | |
| wind was going from his but to head and he was broad side. I | |
| have the 243 sighted in to 200 yards dead zero. So no adjustment | |
| there. But the wind, humm, I figured the bullet drift would be a | |
| lot. I aimed mid way almost center deer, and sent one . DEAD | |
| center shoulder the deer fell over in it's tracks and rolled | |
| down the hill dead . The wind was so bad the other does with him | |
| didn't hear or see anything, just there buck dropped dead. They | |
| wandered off and we went and looked at him. My son suspected | |
| more deer so he went over the ridge we where on ,yes more on the | |
| other side. I stayed on top to watch and he went off on a hunt. | |
| there was two bucks and several does. One was a TALL 3 and the | |
| other was a fat pig that had 4 on one side and 3 on the other, | |
| but not a bad deer. As I watched, he snuck to 239 yards of the | |
| better buck. He had his 6.5 Swede , he looked back to see if I | |
| was in a position to watch, I was. He let one go. As I'm | |
| watching the front leg flings out, then the other front leg | |
| flies out from under the deer. Then I herd the "Whack" then the | |
| report. Deer down, but he had his head still up... A shot or two | |
| went off but in the wind he could not connect with the head/ | |
| neck. He worked a little closer and a final shot and his head | |
| went down. There at 7:30 we where done.! He worked on his deer | |
| and I went back to the truck for the cart. We had two, by the | |
| way, the big one and one I wanted to try . I made a 4 wheel | |
| bread /deer cart and hoped it would work. With the two I head | |
| back . I ran in to my boy about a third of the way . He went | |
| back to the truck and dropped off his stuff and came back out. | |
| Each deer where in different drainages , I dropped off the big | |
| cart on a dike and I went up to get mine. Loaded him on strapped | |
| him on and back out. My boy picked up the other cart and went up | |
| and got his, we met back up at the dike and walked out together. | |
| 9:30 and they are in the truck. There a very nice father, son | |
| hunt, SO COOL! Not the biggest deer but a GREAT hunt, I'll keep | |
| this one filed in the head for a long time. | |
