Life by the Horns

One of the best parts of hunting is the camaraderie that can be had when hunting with family and friends. This hunt was the first time my brother and I had hunted together in a long time, and we had a blast stalking this buck like a couple of hungry wolves. My brother Aaron is the epitome of "take your time" and just about gave me an ulcer waiting for him to take the shot. The buck almost got away because of that, but it all worked out in the end!



(It was about a 350 yard shot with the little ol' .22-250 and it put this mature buck down with no effort!)

Sounds like an awesome hunt! The patience paid off in the end, and that shot with the .22-250 at 350 yards is impressive. Great memories made with your brother!

That’s awesome! Be glad that you got to hunt with your brother. I was hoping to get down to Tennessee to hunt with my brother down there. Unfortunately he passed away at the age of 62.. But I still have memories of him hunting up here with me. That I am grateful for and I was able to talk him through on getting his first turkey..

Sounds like an unforgettable hunt. There's nothing like sharing that experience with family, and it’s great to hear it all came together in the end. That 350-yard shot with a .22-250 is impressive, too- must’ve been quite the moment when that buck went down.
