Sleepy in the blind
« on: December 13, 2013, 09:21:26 PM »
I took my hunting buddy out hunting this afternoon. This was the second time he'd been out with me in the blind. We were seated for about 10 mins and a doe walked out into the clearing. My son promptly yelled, "Deer! Shoot it Dad!" The deer promptly trotted off before I could even get my bow up. He was so excited! So was I. It was the first time he's seen a deer while we were hunting. 30 mins later he was fast asleep... Oh... To be four again. What a great afternoon with my son.

He's a guy after my own heart!  Sleeping on stand is my secret technique!  Animals going by always tend to wake me up...well almost always ;)

 One time had a guide wake me up with a text message asking why I didn't shoot that buck that came into the stand.  I had no clue what he was talking about, but I responded, "Too small :chuckle:"  After some choice French verbage be comes back, "Get ready!  You were right, the big one is about 50 yards behind you."  I never did tell him I was sleeping when the first one came by.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

What is with the block of wood hanging in the blind there?  Looks like a dangerous place to start a fire :chuckle:

It's funny when the kids get excited.  My wife had our boy when he was six with her her first year bow hunting.  They had a spike come by the blind at about 10 yards and he saw it first.  She still managed to get the buck though while trying to shush his "there's a deer, there's a deer..."  The spike just kept looking around like what the heck is that funny noise.   :chuckle:

Keep up the good work.
