this week Eastman's Hunting TV is in the wide open country of eastern montana one
of the most sparsely populated regions in the entire country or chasing running
mule deer bucks with our 2012 hunt winner
hi I'm guy Eastman your host and this is Eastman's Hunting TV on today's episode
we're gonna travel north to Montana for a rut mule deer hunt with our 2012 hunt
winner Jason Kiiskila from Washington State
Jason's never taken a mule deer before so this is gonna be a very new
experience and a lot of fun for him
Jason has decided to bring his dad along with him on the hunt this year the
afternoon before the hunt starts Jason and his dad roll into camp to meet up with my
brother Ike and our good friend and outfitter rod passkey
the next morning the guys head out into the badlands
that tends to hold the bigger Montana bucks this is more of a scouting mission
than anything else Rod and Ike want to give Jason and his dad
a good idea of what they're in for during the hunt we've never had a hunt
win or kill a whitetail before but that could change we just saw a huge
whitetail you think he said maybe a five-by-five just huge so we're kind of
just making the decision if we want to go after him it's awful tempting he's
huge and great length all the way around
good eye guard yourself fightin I'm guess I'm busy isn't real lame and not real
wild that's not like ya now we just need to go find a Montana mule deer how's
that sound
welcome back to eastern Montana
hey folks we have buck spotted up here right now we're in the free run it's 60
degrees and took us a while to find this deer we found it from long ways off rod
and Jason have spotted a nice rutting meal deer that Jason wants to take so
rod quickly puts together a stock on the buck
unfortunately this buck has other things on his mind
a cow elk call just isn't gonna stop him in his tracks your stock of that deer
and I kept checking the wind but - the wind switched pull him out of there he's
laying here by himself now he's up there's a group of does
welcome back to Eastman's hunting TV
Jason and rod are not going to make the same mistake twice they've decided to
crawl as close to the ground as possible to close the distance on this buck
undetected
good job it was awesome man we worked for this one take a look
at it
we're here with the Eastman's hunting journal 2012
mule deer hunt winner Jason Kiiskila well hopefully you've enjoyed your time

afternoon yeah perfect thanks Jason thank you
