2014 Bedroom Buck......

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Finnaly found some time to explain the reasoning for shooting this buck off our bed, through the little window , and  between two porch slats. Of course all this against my wife's better judgement as she knows my judgement at times is lacking and if not downright poor?   So with the typical excusises of working to much and remodeling the place, scouting time has been limited to the windows of our home. We are very fortunate to live where we can hunt! I am always brain storming ways to keep our 4.75 year old daughters attention to hunting and fishing without burning her out with it and keeping it fun. Short trips and excursions here and there. This time just ended up in our bedroom? Knowing it is opening day of archery season and the wife rideing me to get the laundryroom trimmed out before we leave for Idaho archery elk hunt in two weeks I am very stressed out wondering if one of two bucks we have seen this summer will come by one of our windows? Now I have thought the whole process out of shooting game from our windows? I firmly believe you GET-EM-WHERE-YOU-GET-EM! Be it high up in the alpine areas to down low from your living areas. We have packed and worked very hard through the years to get our game animals. As the day wore on and I go back and forth from saw to laundryroom making cuts and re-doing cuts because my mind is not thinking about the right angle of the findangle?  I keep eyeing the vast Oak and Pine landscape for the elusive bucks of the summer. So I have came to the conclusion that if and when the bucks come out of hiding I will try and harvest one with our daughter watching so she can learn about how it is done. Also I believe it is a good way to show her and just not talk about how harvesting game is accomplished. This will also fall right into her homeschooling curriculum for the fall quarter. We homeschool year round with four quarters being Spring, Summer,Fall and Winter. There is no break from learning. One should learn at least one thing new everyday. So the pictures show it all. The bucks did come out of hiding and we harvested some fine venison for the winter. The experience for our daughter was very positive and educational. She was fully engaged and had lots of questions which were all answered. We explained to her every step of the process and thinking back it probably will go down in the books (or Hunt-Wa) as one of our most important lessons to teach our daughter. If you have a chance take a child or somebody hunting and everyone will learn something new. Even if it is out of your bedroom window........

Is he really standing on a bed shooting an arrow past his daughter? Am I seeing what I think? This is INANE!

[Woodchuck]

That didn't take long

We are having similar thoughts about the nice buck that hits our garden. Although I have not seem him before the sun sets as yet.

Saw him 2 weeks ago thinking nice big 3 point blacktail.  Went out to chase him away from the garden, actually has a fourth point up top and big eye guards. His antlers were up at eye level when I went to chase him off

Now if he would only stop by during shooting light

I would have passed,

Too long of a drag!

, I just hope he did not sit down with those scissors in his back pocket... 

Good job, talk about having a small "window" to make the shot...

I hope you at least did the ethical thing and made the bed after you went hunting!!

   Opposite end of a 6 to 8 foot wide window, looks pretty safe to me.   

We have harvested three or four from our bedroom window, though none with a bow.  Nice shooting!

     I offered but we had a buck to dress out. The scissors were the truth that I was working g on the house. Can't remember what I was cutting?  Forgot to post pic of the buck through the slats.
