3rd season and I thought that if he didn't get one this year, I might lose him to discouragement. He's watched his older brother get 2 in that time and me get 3 so he was REALLY hoping to get one. It was shot about 45 minutes ago. A spike. We think he hit it a bit back and it looks like liver on the ground so we backed and came home to give it time. The deer stood up as high as it could on it's hind legs, came back down, hunched a very little and gave a hop and then went on a slow circling trot into the woods with his tail up. The doe with him followed him and came back out into the open after about 2 minutes and stared us down about 5 minutes before exiting stage right.

1morebuck is on his way and then we'll get to tracking. Updates coming.

Taken about 20 minutes before the deer started to show up

Cool hope you guys have found him.

While the others are uploading, a description. A doe came out and walked across the field. About 2 minutes later, she came flying back out from where she came. I knew a buck had pushed her and got Tristan ready. Sure enough, a spike swaggered out like he owned the place. Tristan made a good shot. Quartering towards and he got one lung and liver. 1morebuck and a friend came out and tracked him down. He didn't go far, maybe 50 yards. I'll upload my cell phone pics when they get to photobucket and a couple 1morebuck took with his fancy camera later. I am very proud. Like I said above, I am very happy he finally got a deer. It has been a challenging 3 seasons trying with timing issues, him sleeping through sets because of his meds, spooking deer off, etc. I am tired but happy

War paint. I swear, he made it seem at times like this was the only reason he wanted to hunt

DoubleJ · « **Reply #8 on:** October 23, 2013, 11:49:37 PM »

Another big thank you to 1morebuck and Mitch for coming out and helping.

Well done!!! You guys kept working at it and it paid off! Nice buck, happy hunter.

And one more thing, there had better not be one single comment about hunter orange!!!

He had it on. We returned home and he took it off. It was in his pocket while we were tracking because him and his brother had to stay back and they were goofing around until we found the deer.

Nice job Tristan!

RadSav · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2013, 03:57:12 AM »

Glad to see you and the boy got it done. Sounds like a good experience for his first deer. Looks mighty tasty too! I remember my first deer...wanted grandma to cook it up before it was unloaded from the truck!

Tell Tristan Lorraine and I said, "Congratulations!"

Its been a little over 30 years, but I remember the excitement and the emotions of that day, which are written all over his face. Its good to see. I really think few things bring this much deep seeded emotion to a young mans life.

Looks like a happy hunter there! Nicely done, Tristan.

Reading is his thing. He's 9 and reading at a 12.9 grade level. He's so far ahead of his class in everything that, whenever his issues get the best of him in class and he has a hard time controling himself, at any time throughout the day, he can just pull out his book and read and the teacher allows it. He can literally read a book all day and ace a test on whatever they were learning that day.

Jon would give up soccer in a heartbeat to hunt. Problem is, I'm coaching his team and my 6 year olds team tonight.
