looking for 8 Year old first deer - headed to 124 now, any help out there??

<< < (2/3) > >>

HUNTINCOUPLE:
50/50 shot.

Basinguy:
went out yesterday evening and covered some ground. I learned that if we walk the draws, we probably won't get a shot. 8 years old is too young to take a shot standing up and shooting at a moving target or one that stands there for a second or two before running again. Sooo... I think this is going to be harder than I originally thought it would be.
I like the ground blind idea but dang that public land has been picked through pretty good.
Those rolling hills are gonna be a challenge to sneak up on them...

Basinguy:
if anybody was wondering... We didn't get it done. He dropped one and it tumbled into the trees. I thought he hit it hard so I went in after it and it ran off. He is hooked. Learned a lot and hiked a ton, I was proud of the boys. I wish I would have packed my shotgun because both of them have turkey tags and we were in those things everyday, with the occasional pheasant and quail too.

Thats a bummer on a hit deer running off. Hopefully it didn't rattle him to much, that can be a tough one on kids. Hopefully he just rattled her cage and she's good to go. Glad you guys got after it and he was bale to see animals and enjoy his time in the woods.

Basinguy:
He's fine with what happened, he really wanted his own deer in the freezer. I think I might take him to 124 on Sunday. I have never hunted that area... looks like paper company and knocking on doors???
