High school can't stop you
« on: September 05, 2016, 09:14:43 PM »
So my 14 year old daughter started high school this year. First day of school was opening day of archery. First day at a new school takes priority so archery season would have to wait until the weekend.

After attending her first high school football game Friday night it was on the road to eastern Washington.  Late arrival and Saturday morning was a tough one. No deer in site so this is how she spent much of the morning.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Saturday night we saw a couple of bucks as we drove the roads, one was legal, but they were all on property we didn't have permission to hunt. She was a little disappointed but Sunday was another day full of hope.

Sunday morning came early again but there was something in the air, we both had a feeling today was the day.

On the way to the blind we spooked a deer but it was too dark to tell what it was.

We settled into the blind about an hour after hunting hours began I saw a buck come over the horizon headed towards us.  I had her stand and get ready. It took what seemed like hours for him to get there. When he did he turned and looked right us. I whispered "stay calm, he'll turn and you can draw". Again hours passed or minutes but he finally turned, I said draw and let out a "eh" to get him to stop. He did and she let him have it.

He ran 20-30 yards, wobbled, ran another 20 and disappeared behind some trees. We heard a crash and then nothing.

Big hugs and congratulations. A call to mom on the radio to come help and onto the trail we went. I knew it was dead but let her do the tracking just for practice. I hope to always be there but want her prepared if I am not there to help.

First blood.

Wow.  You drove over Friday night after the game?  I should say the girl was exhausted.  And a stud buck, too.  Congratulations to all.
