Grandpa got it done

[Darrick McPhee]

My 70 year old grandpa got it done with a smoke pole this week. We spotted this bull just after first light opening morning and put the sneak on him. Once close, we were able to call him into 90 yards. It was definitely a hunt to remember.

That is awesome. My grandpa passed away a few years ago but my hunting memories with him are priceless. That is a cool thing you boys did for him. Great bull.

Thanks guys, It was a special hunt for all involved. this was his first big bull, he has been apart of several but never pulled the trigger. He is still on cloud 9, he called me today still as excited as the day he walked up to it. View attachment 10716 as requested, here he is trying to get the pack on. lol

Super cool. I remember begging my Grandpa to come deer hunting with us out to a spot he hunted for over 40 years and he couldn't due to health issues. I missed out on a great memory, glad you got to be along for the ride and help him bag the trophy of a life time! Great bull and great story with all involved. Love the picture of everyone surrounding the bull...priceless.
