Wifes first nice buck.
Up in northern Alberta a very hard winter coupled with a healthy wolf population have made for some very tough hunting this season. I'm pretty happy just getting out and hunting but my wife was getting discouraged, I have a cousin that lives further south and he told me that in the farm land the deer had pulled through better, the way my rotation worked I had a 3 day weekend so we packed up the kids and headed south. Me and my wife split up the day, taking turns hunting and watching the kids. The first day we had a crazy snowfall and not much was moving, the second morning things had cleared up so I let her get out for first light, about an hour and a half later she was back at the house saying she had a buck down. I know the pictures don't show the antlers well but its a heavy 5x4 with some nice stickers, as usual she killed it with a single shot from her 6.5. I was very happy she'd found some success after the discouraging season we've been having so far.

What a fantastic buck - congratulations to you and your wife. BTW: that's a really good idea to split time if you have kids and a wife that loves to hunt too.

Great buck for sure. Congrats to your wife.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Thanks!! My cousin lives in a small mobile home and has 3 buisy kids, my family was all sharing the same bedroom and nobody was getting much sleep, if we weren't taking turns watching the kids I'm pretty sure somebody would have gone crazy!! In any case I've found that making sure my wife gets plenty of opportunities to hunt is a good investment, the more I let her hunt the more she lets me hunt. My cousin shot a nice 5x5 while we were there and I had a chance at a good buck too. Mine was a long shot right at last light and the buck was chasing around a doe so he didn't give me any shot opportunity that I was comfortable with.

Great looking buck! Has a tank for a body! Looks like it doesn't have a neck. Did you happen to weigh him?
