Title: My 3 year journey for my 2016 Manitoba Whitetail
Post by: Manitoba Stickflinger on December 19, 2016, 03:30:00 PM
Well it finally happened. I've never had such a dry spell but was blessed with a beautiful buck this November. Rather then telling the story, here's a few pix and the video of my past 3 years.

You have those kids trained really well. No need to worry about getting an animal out of the woods as you advance with age. Just make sure they don't move too far away.

Good video.  Your kids are a hoot.  

Inquisitive.  Seemed to see a fair number of bucks last year.  Did you just not get shots at any of those, or did you pass on a few.

Looks like you have a lot of cold, windy weather.  Tough hunting.
Well done.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Post by: Manitoba Stickflinger on December 19, 2016, 05:53:00 PM
Thx guys! I'm learning to not be surprised by all the support here.

Yes, my kids are a blast and love getting out with me. I passed on many of the deer in the video. The ones that look close enough all are and I chose not to shoot. The big 5x5 in the snow was out of range. The giant buck I missed came back but my video camera arm was blocking my 15 yard shot.

I can honestly say that videoing makes it twice as hard,, but is rewarding when it all comes together.

Thanks again everyone!

Some might think the prayer with the kids, or the interview (and honesty) or perhaps the bowed salute to the animal was some YouTube melodrama...but you would be wrong. That is all Ry. Honest, driven, respectful, family and God loving. Beautiful story my brother!

Hey Ryan--Really nice job with the video of your quest for a big buck, and the inclusion of your kids.  Awesome capture of putting a Tall Tines to work, and a respectful look at him on the ground with you giving thanks for the opportunity to take him.

What a nice compliment. Ryan sure seems to be humble and have his priorities in order. He has my respect. I have never had the opportunity to hunt with him but I hope that changes in the future. Congrats Ryan. I know it's a tough game up there. Well done and great buck.

I loved the wind in the trees and the feeling of...effort...that went into finally getting the chance. Very enjoyable video. I liked the moment given to honor the deer and emotion at that time.

But I'm figuring Ryan probably did a break dance post-video.      :cool:    

Congratulations Ryan and thanks for allowing me to look over your shoulder.
