I have a little time so I figured I would show ya'll what Ive been up to this season.

First off, on Oct. 31st my 12 year old sister took her first deer. She used her Marlin XS7Y 7mm-08 with 120gr Federal Fusions. She made a perfect 190 yard shot and the buck didnt go to far. I also got the whole thing on video too! Here are some pics and the video

Next is my younger brother Hayden's buck. Not a bad buck at all but he is not picky and always shoots the first buck he sees. He took this one on the evening of opening day. Shot with custom 270 Gibbs and 150gr Partitions.

My youngest brother, Sully also shot this doe just a few seconds after Hayden shot his buck. Made a 550 yard shot with his custom 7mm-300 Weatherby shooting 160gr Accubonds.

Next is my girlfriend, Dusti's buck. This was her 2nd buck she has ever taken. We spotted him and made a great stalk on him. Dusti made a 200 yard shot and dropped him right where he stood. She used her Ruger Hawkeye 270 Win with 130gr Federal Fusions. 4x5 and 18" wide

And finally is my buddy's Mule Deer buck. I work with him and he mentioned that he wanted to shoot a Mulie since he is from Iowa and never killed one before. Once again, he wasnt picky and took the first buck we found. Made it easy on me! He used my Ruger hawkeye 270 Win with handloaded 130gr Accubonds. I recovered the bullet but have not taken a picture of it yet or weighed it. He also shot a whitetail doe but head shot her and it was too graphic to take a pic of and post up. So here are his buck pics. I appologize ahead of time for the rifle in the pic. It was unloaded but I did not realize how bad of a position it was in until after the fact.

Ive got one day left to hunt and hopefully Ill be adding pics of my buck tomorrow afternoon! Hope ya'll enjoyed the pics!
 
Super video. The smile on her face says it all. Congratulations to Abby. Thanks for sharing the video. Her excitement is palpable.
 
All the whitetails are good bucks. Tell your buddy from Iowa congratulations. He might want to open the bolt on the rifle when he takes pictures in the future. It is a bit unnerving to see the barrel pointed at his head. Thanks for posting the pictures.
 
Great job on the video,she made a fine shot!
What a nice deer too.He's heavy and I love that dark colored rack.

Looks like you have had a good season.
Congratulations to all.

Great job and story. Really liked the photo's. Hey Nodak 7mm, I think that little gals buck is bigger than yours :!: :!: :mrgreen: :p
 
Now that's a family affair to brag about! Nice deer all and It must have been pretty cold because Abby's cheeks are pretty red :wink:
Congrats to all of you and thanks again for sharing your hunts.
 
Awesome hunt and looks like you are doing well this Fall! Thanks for all of the pictures. Scotty
