Earlier in the week, my youngest brother, Sully was out deer hunting just glassing from his pickup to see what was down in the coulee in the brush. A few bucks ended up walking out of the coulee into the field about 100 yards from his pickup and he decided not to shoot since it was early and because of the fact that he was sitting at his pickup and it just wasnt sporting. So he let it go. But after looking at the pictures he took, he realized that he wanted to shoot the deer. We went back this evening and glassed from the truck and eventually spotted the group of 3 bucks. We jumped out of the truck and bailed off into the coulee with only an hour left of shooting light. We walked about 1/2 a mile to a spot about 150 yards from where the bucks were. They were no where to be found.
Along the creek, it is nothing but willows about 10 feet high. We had no idea where they had gone. Just as we were turning around to go back to the truck, Sully spotted two deer coming out of the willows going up the hill about 200 yards out. It was only two of the 3 bucks. They headed up the hill and finally stopped and I told him to take the one on the left. He dropped it at 288 yards with his 7mm-300Wby! Sully headed back to get the truck and I walked up to his buck and gut it. We had a blast and were extremely excited. The buck ended up being the buck that originally walked past his pickup and that he took pictures of. Here are a couple pictures!
