The Reason
I can honestly say that I have never experienced the first week of season to be so action packed. We started it off with Friday morning, the day before season, with a solid 6x6 in our laps at 35 yards bugling and ready for action. Too bad we couldn't duplicate that on Saturday. Nothing!!! Not even a sound.
Sunday was a different story...Steve had an opportunity, but just couldn't connect. Let me tell you, fog and rangefinders do not mix!
As the week progressed, so did the sightings and close encounters. Little did we know that Trent was about to start a trend. He kicked things off with an incredible evening hunt after work.
The next weekend is when things really got crazy! It stormed like none other that weekend. The wind was blowing and calling was out of the question...luckily for us, the spot and stalk was on. Treavor closed the distance and arrowed his biggest bull ever! Yep, count 'em, 6 X 8!
Before the celebrating was over, the game was on again...with Trent elbow deep in butchering, a bull was bugling and coming fast. Springing into action, Treavor coaxed this bull into the thick reprod for Chris. After making a stellar shot, he had his first bow kill on the ground!
All of these events unfolded unbenounced to Ty, Steve, and I. Little did they know we were doing our fair share of harvesting. Across the drainage Steve wrapped his tag on a respectable big timber Blacktail buck.
After meeting up and swapping stories the BRO crew called it quits to one hell of a Labor Day weekend.

With a couple weeks left in the season, Steve, Ty, and I headed deep into the unfamiliar timber-lands to try our will and skill. After a couple days of nothing, make that absolutely nothing. We located a herd in the distance, 3 miles away to be exact. We packed up camp in the dark, saddled the mountain bikes and headed by headlamp down the long gravel trek. Daylight brought us within striking distance and by 8am, Ty had his bull on the ground.
After a grueling 14 mile pack out, the tender vitals were tucked away in a walk-in cooler. The next day led us into some old stompin' grounds from back in the day. After locating a herd the game was on...
An hour later Steve had horns in hand!
Going into the last weekend and having the only tag remaining, I felt like one of the, "Last of the Mohicans." With the help of Treavor and Chris, we called this bull into a mere 20 yards. One well placed arrow finished the season for Born And Raised Outdoors.
We are now in the mix of late deer season, we will try our best to continue the streak!
