Reader submitted hunting photos - Part 2
Seeley Lake's Klayton Kovatch shot this 5x5 whitetail buck Nov. 24 in HD 285 near Ovando with a 7mm-08. Although this wasn't his first or his largest, it was special because he harvested this deer on what would have been his namesake great grandfather John's 100th birthday. This was the first buck he field dressed completely by himself. Klayton donated the meat to the Seeley Swan Community Food Bank as he and his sister had filled the family freezer earlier with two cow elk.
Kalispell resident Ashley Dieterich, daughter of Jeff and Natalie Wisehart of Seeley Lake, filled the her moose tag around Libby after 20+ years of applying for the coveted tag. The antlers had a 38 inch spread.
Seeley Lake resident Sawyer Shelmerdine shot this 3-point, Nov. 2 on Rice Ridge with a 30-06.
Ten-year-old Finn Marx of Seeley Lake shot his first whitetail doe, as an apprentice hunter with his dad Kyle as his mentor. He harvested the doe on state land near Woodworth Road. The rifle Finn used was an open sight Marlin 30/30 that belonged to his great grandfather. Finn's grandfather, mother Shana and now Finn have all harvested their first deer with this rifle.
"You may hunt the world over for trophies, far and wide you may go; but you'll always come back to follow the track of the whitetail deer in the snow." A favorite quote of Dale Terrillion from a hunter he guided.
