Well since my other post was lost because of the repair, here it is again. (for those of u who didnt see it) enjoy!



After school today, my dad was already dressed in camo and I got ready to go too, then we rode the quad over to our hunting spot. My dad and I parked the quad and went off in our own separate ways, I went to my new stand site at the woods edge and my dad set up his climber about 75 yards into the woods. Then I was on my own. I got set up in my tree, (I wasn't much more than 10 feet off the ground really) but there was a lot of young trees to cover me all around. About a half hour into my hunt, I heard a deer jump over the fence (could hear the twang of the wire as a hoof struck it) and looked behind me to see a young doe sitting in the field. Then came three more does. They stayed in the field and grazed, too far for a bow shot. Then they saw something and trotted off in another direction. About an hour later, I caught antlers in the corner of my eye and watched a nice respectable 6 pointer walk out 30 yards in front of me. It was a pretty buck, I would have taken him but he was just too far for confident shooting for me. Then I waited a few more hours, and heard a "squirrel" underneath my stand, but I looked slowly and it was a huge doe! Just 15 yards away. I drew back without her seeing me (thanks to those trees covering me) and picked a shooting lane in between the trees. I spined her and she dropped in her tracks. (Did have to shoot again in the lungs but she died quickly) Then I got down once she expired, and tagged her. I began to gut my deer when my dad walked up the trail and told me he had shot a big doe. I then told him I got one too and he hugged me and said I'm proud of you kid. Then we gutted the doe, left her there, and we went to go trail my dad's doe. But here is a short video and some pictures. I'm eating the tenderloins as we speak. yumm!
