we've got this buck spotted we saw him a couple days ago and haven't been
able to turn him up until now we are fighting in the wind
it's opening morning 24th October and obviously the rut hasn't really got
going yet
these deer just these bucks are off by themselves maybe in some bachelor groups
still and nice to nice-looking deer isn't he yeah
but being opening morning I think we'll just keep looking and we just started
hunting the last hour we got lots of country to look at so I think we can
maybe do better
we aren't seeing much in the way of bucks on the first day of the Montana
rifle season but maybe the racket these migrating sandhill cranes are making has
something to do with it it's an incredible sight to behold the
sound is literally deafening hopefully all the mule deer bucks haven't left the
area too just as the shooting light fades for the day we spot what looks to be a
nice buck worthy at least of a second look
not a bad deer at all it's lay on the shade down but I think I can do
better it's tall got really good forks but
heavy they will just come out of nowhere yeah I as you can see this country's got
a lot of terrain everywhere deep holes like that they can lay out of the Sun
out of the wind good-looking deer we've seen two betters
and we should keep looking
the day is quickly coming to a close and we have yet to catch back up with the
heavy horn buck we caught a very quick glimpse of on the skyline with a big
storm front on the horizon for tomorrow we could find a change in our luck
the deer hunting is tough so far the rut is yet to begin and we're battling a
full moon and the wind gusts of up to 40 miles an hour are just icing on the cake
this morning Matt and Rod are hell-bent on braving the wind and elements to find a
hunkered down buck
we've got this buck spotted we saw him a couple days ago and we have been able to
turn him up until now we are fighting the wind it's been foggy we couldn't even
hunt this morning we were sogged in fog in about 50 yards of visibility so we
pull out now we're gonna go try him again and he's have a good spot I think
we can get 120 yards from us sneak down there to this point and see if he's
still laying down there let's go see what he has done
we're here with our 2015 hunt winner Matt Wald from Denver Colorado and he
just scored on this really nice buck congratulations Matt thank you very much
that was some good shooting yeah oh man you hold the record for the hunt winner
who killed an animal in the worst conditions I think my hood was flapping
I just I just about said I've never ruined a kill scene or a good thing I
didn't because it would have probably gotten ruined on that one because I
think the buck heard my hood whipping in the wind stood up but you
were able to get up there and get the dead rest and get on him real quick and
make the shot it was fun it's pretty bad when you have to time the wind gusts at
94 yards and almost took me off the mountain yeah well you made a great shot
on him one shot one kill right through the shoulder is a really nice buck he's
got big old backs well congratulations we hope you enjoyed
