Oscar's Hunts

September through November 2010

So OTown has had a busy hunting season this year.  It all started back in July when he found out that he drew on some AMAZING tags!  One was the coveted Owyhees Buck Tag!  I had NO clue how good it was, but after watching Dad's reaction and all his friends I knew it must be something FANTASTIC!  He also drew an antelope tag and had a general season elk tag.

September is when he went on his antelope hunt which only took one outing to be successful.  His tag was for doe or fawn which was hard for him because he saw a huge buck in the group he was hunting.  But he was still happy with his results.....

Next he started in October with a scouting trip to the Owyhees to spot some bucks before his hunt opened the next week.  The scouting trip was so so but they were way excited to get to hunt with Oscar's good friend Bryce DeForest.  Once again OTown was successful on the 1st trip.  That wasn't the most amazing part about the hunt it was the size of the buck! 

Shortly after the buck was down I got a phone call from (Oscar) dad (literally 1 minute after).  My phone was kinda cutting out and Oscar was talking so fast that I thought somebody had been SHOT!!  After we both calmed down he was able to tell me 'You need to congratulate your son'.  He had just shot a MONSTER buck, way bigger than anything thing his dad had gotten, let alone seen!  I could tell Dad was way more excited than OTown, since he (OTown) only had one word answers to my questions, and his dad was almost hyperventilating!  I don't think it really had sunk in yet.  It was a 8 x 10 buck, 29", and scored 209" AWESOME!

Then later in the same week he went elk hunting with his dad. They met up with some friends Warren and his son Austin Stewart.  The day before Warren got his elk so they were all heading back in to help him pack it out.  As they were hiking in Austin spotted an elk and got his, and a short while later OTown spotted a 4 point raghorn and got it!  Lucky for him since it was close to a 500 yard shot!  It's that Williamson luck again *wink*

Amazing!!  He sure had a very SUCCESSFUL year I'd say *smile*
