Went to the lease this weekend with my 7 year old with hopes of him killing his first deer. Saturday morning we had a doe with 2 button heads show up, with a small 6 point running her around. Saturday evening we hunted hard seeing a lone doe. I asked him if he wanted to take her, and his reply was, "nope I'm waiting on a buck." Which really surprised me. He's been going to the stand with me since he was 3 and has always wanted me to shoot anything that came out, but I've been explaining to him why we can't and I guess it finally sank in haha. Sunday morning we had a good bit of movement. We had a doe come in with small fawns and passed. Around 9 I saw movement at 200 yards. 3 doe and 2 fawns come out but never came our way. All in all it was a great weekend and we had a blast. Gonna give it another go this weekend.



Starting to get pictures of this one during daylight and he saw them. Has his heart set on him for his first.

Is that vice part of your stand setup?

Grosvenor, all I did was screw 2 2x4's to the side of the stand so both front feet would sit on and took another 2x4 and cut to sir under the back side of the vice. Can be set up or took completely down in seconds for more room

That is why it is called Hunting! If you always got something it would be called Killing, and anyone could do it! grin

Seriously, Good Luck on the next hunt, and as an Old Fart who's kids have all left the house I can tell you that time spend with your Son is time well spent. Oh, and my Boy still hunts with me. Best part is that now he pays his own way!

Weegs, that's right and we had plenty of opportunities for a shot just not what he wanted.

Good luck on the buck. He'll make a great deer for your Son.
