My best hunt was when my "grandson" shot his first deer. He was only 9yrs old. When we were practicing shooting one of the things I would tell him was to not raise his head up as  he was shooting to watch what happened, I said watch it drop through the scope. I didn't expect anything he ever shot to drop in it"s tracks but wanted to make sure he kept his head down. We saw a doe (youth hunt antlerless) got him out and on a rest, made him wait for a good shot then said ok. I barley got the words out of my mouth and the gun went off and the deer droped (so did my jaw). He shouted I got it with my first shot, I saw it drop in the scope. That was Awsome.

I've been successful in taking a few decent deer over the years but to me my favorite hunting trip was back in 07 when I was hunting with my dad when he shot his best deer in his 40 years of hunting. A really nice 6x4.
