Most memorable hunting adventure:
Ron: My most memorable hunt would have to be when my son Tyler shot his first buck. Tyler and I traveled to meet my brother Tom and his son Andy in Oklahoma to hunt whitetail deer. As we were driving up the ranch driveway I pointed out a tree off in the distance and told Tyler that was the tree we will put up our tree stands up that afternoon for the evening hunt. Tyler and Andy both laughed a little doubting my choice because they both knew I have not ever hunted this ranch before. After we split up Tyler and I walked to the tree I spotted earlier and we were surprised the tree was a little bit smaller than we thought. We put our tree stands up anyway. This hunt I did not carry a gun because I was there for Tyler. Before we settled in I put out some scent on a trail underneath our tree stands. The wind was howling and the tree swayed a lot and Tyler was nervous because he did not think he would be steady for a good shot but I assured him the wind sometimes settles as the sun goes down. Sure enough the wind died and everything got quite. Soon, as if it was a gift from God, a 6-point buck walked right underneath our tree. I was whispering to Tyler to shoot not knowing he could not see the buck thru his scope because the power was too high. I rested his gun barrel on my shoulder and he thought I was aiming it for him. At the shot the buck fell down where he stood, a spine shot. I told Tyler to finish him off so he shot again missing the deer cleanly. He told me he could not see thru the scope this was when I discovered the power was to high. I guess unknowingly I aimed his gun for him and he just trusted me and pulled the trigger!!! The excitement on his face when the buck dropped is one I WILL NEVER FORGET.
Tom: My most memorable hunt was when I took my son, Andy, whitetail hunting when he was eight years old. It was the first year that Oklahoma allowed a hunter to take either a doe or a buck during the opening weekend. It was so dark while walking to the stand that I had to tie a short rope around him so that I would not lose him in the woods. We sat up in an area that had an over abundance of does and I figured that he would have no problem taking the first one that came by. After getting him comfortable, quite and still, I told him to watch a trail to our left that went right up into an alfalfa field. As the sun began to come up, he kept poking me in the arm saying that there was a monster buck to our left. I kept shushing him all the while knowing that he was spooking every deer in the area and that it was going to be a long uneventful morning. Since I was the experienced hunter and dad is never wrong, I was convinced that the deer would come to us from the right. Finally, out of frustration and a desire to keep him quite, I turned and to see what he was all excited about and when I did, my heart nearly jumped out of my throat. Standing not more then 30 yards from the two of us was a monster sized 11.pt buck. Slowly, with deliberate steadiness, he raised in single shot 243. Cal Handy Rifle while whispering "center body mass.. center body mass.." and pulled the trigger. The big buck stood up on his two hind legs, spun around and took off! Andy jumped to his feet and began to go after the deer and the only thing that kept him from following him was the fact that I had grabbed him by the seat of his pants. The thirty minutes and two pop tarts he ate while I made him wait was the longest thirty minuets that either of us had to endure. Tracking him fifty yards we found him lying up under a cedar tree with a shot that went right through his heart. He weighed out at 196 lbs and was one of the biggest bucks taken in our area that year. Now, every time he says he sees a buck, I never doubt him.
