Title: Two kids, two white tails
Post by: Gamblin Guy on October 29, 2007, 09:32:06 PM: My neighbor and I took our kids over to the NE corner for the youth antlerless whitetail hunt over the weekend. We didn't connect in Winthrop with the antlerless tags (although had I listened to you guys who told me where to go and didn't let the crowds scare me out we probably would have tagged out up there). Had a great trip, met a great landowner who had deer tearing up his alfalfa field so we did our part to help him out. Might even work out a late archery trip back over in November. My sons third and my neighbor's son's first.

My kid is 12, the neighbor kid is 9. Mine is already giving me grief about killing as many deer as me, i have to remind him i brought him into this world and i can take him out. :chuckle: :P

My son's deer turned out to be a yearling buck, no horns. It was the only deer in the field and the first one we saw that day, not knowing we would see a boatload more we decided to take it.

We butchered both up ourselves on Sunday and ground up the burger yesterday. Now I have to listen to my kid tell me he's providing meat for the family, :o I guess someone has to. :dunno: :P
