First deer hunt with my son
« on: September 05, 2014, 10:22:46 AM »
Took my three year old out on the 4Th and got a doe.  We started out on the edge of my uncles property and almost instantly bumped three deer.  Two bucks and a doe, being of my personnel intrest in flavor, I targeted the doe.  Hit her broadside at 27 yards and she went a 100 feet before crashing into a tree and the ground.    My son had a great time on his first hunt :tup:

Awesome.  I am thinking about taking my almost 3 year old out this fall for some time in the field.  Don't know if any animals will hit the ground, but it should be a success, in any event.
