12 year old Gage Hansen had an amazing big game season by taking TWO animals on the first evening of his FIRST big game hunt! While hunting over a water hole in Moffat County a muley doe came in at 5:30. Gage made a perfect heart/lung shot at 20 yards and we watched her go down. With a second tag in hand we waited for another opportunity and at 7 o'clock a doe pronghorn came in to drink at the same exact spot. Gage made another perfect shot and we watched her go down as well. A very proud and speechless father. Truly blessed!

I have heard some cool first kill stories but two kills and two different species might take the cake! Any chance that would be a junior junior Dennis Hansen?

Have no idea where this photo even came from. Won't let me upload my other photo. Anyone know how to remove a pic?

Same goat.
Same goat.
Archery Nanny hunt. 2nd season. Had a great week hunting, including helping a friend who had an either sex tag and arrowed a great billy. This nanny was in a group of three nannies with no kids running around, so made it much easier to be sure she was dry. For those who like numbers, 5 yrs old, 4 4/8” bases and 8.5 inch length.
This one was only 1.5 miles up the mountain from where could get a truck, so not too bad of a pack out as mountain goats go. Enjoyed getting to know some of the other tag holders in my unit along the way as wel.
“Just” need a whitetail and mountain lion to reach Big 8 & Big 9 at this point.

Congrats to all on 2020 hunts. Kirby, great goat hunt and I enjoyed exchanging info with you before and during the hunt. Also kudos to CONATIVE and SAWDUST on their goat hunts and helping with mine. I feel like I know you guys, even though we have never met. Oh yeah, I managed to arrow this guy on my goat hunt.

Second chance Kansas buck--my first arrow from the tree stand at a mere 10 yards deflected off an unseen branch and stuck in the ground at the bucks hooves! Amazingly, after a short 40 yard sprint, the buck stopped to look back for his unseen foe, and my second arrow was perfect thank the Lord! Found the buck had an arrow shaft broken off right between his eyes-- maybe shot a couple weeks previous by another bowhunter--unknown if intentional or not! Once i had boiled the skull for a European mount, the broadhead was clearly visible and had penetrated the eye socket and had lodged in the skull bone, just inches from the inner ear and brain. Could not believe this buck was alive, let alone running around pursuing does!

Sorry about the sideways pics! Don't know what I am doing wrong! Here is the buck's skull with the broadhead and arrow shaft embedded inside!

That is cool. What broadhead is that?
From: timberline53
08-Dec-20
Maybe G5 Striker? Hard to tell but held up amazingly well--all three blades still intact! Right between the eyes but at a slight angle or I am sure it would have killed him.
