I will have my little guy with my for the first few days when it is still warm. I told him that he could pick the first deer I shoot.I will be willing to bet that no matter the size it will be one if my favorite hunts and the fact that I will get a deer close enough to shoot with a 6yr old in the blind with me is going to be a feat in itself. By the way he has aready decided that he doesn't want me to shoot a "baby deer" so there are a few stipulations.
