Firebird
AH legend
I was not present on this hunt. She is in college and working and the first full day she and her husband could go was Halloween. So I stayed home with my other kids for the holiday while my father in law, nephew and son in law all went hunting. My nephew hunts this area for deer and knew the area a little bit. He has the makings of an excellent hunting guide, also works at same fire dept as I do. My father in law is very experienced hunter and a long time taxidermist as well. He is retired military and so has time and good health. My daughter has killed a good deer but doesn’t hunt much and not around to shoot with us very often. She used my rem 700 in 7mm-08 with a muzzle brake and 150 gr hand loaded Accubond long range bullets. She used this rifle with a different load on her deer and feels comfortable with it although her sisters rifle would have fit her better. It has a leupold vx 3L 4.5x14x44 scope on it with a custom turret. The turret is a lifesaver with young or inexperienced shooters. She is a good shot but not a great one, not as patient as her sister. I’ll have more details later but the picture is fun. She is very small, maybe 110 pounds. She said the hike and stalk were hard and scary. In Utah this is a “once in a lifetime” permit.
