I got to watch my oldest boy take his first deer back in the 2006 season. It was by far the greatest hunt I have ever been on. I had set up a ground blind in the cornor of the food plot and he was about 15 yards away in a ladder stand. My youngest boy and I sat and watched as the even unfolded. It took almost a full hour to pass from the time the doe first appeared to the time he took the shot. My youngest boy said my hands were shaking the entire time. I was very impressed with my oldest boy, he looked like the most seasoned hunter sitting there waiting on her to give him the shot he wanted. In fact, I gave him the green light with her about 70 yards out and I watched him drop down to his scope. I was waiting for the boom when I looked up and seen he was not in the scope any longer. I thought he migh be getting cold feet when he dropped down and again. By the time I looked back at the doe, he let loose and she dropped in her tracks. I asked him why he waited and said there was a small limb in his scope and did not know if it would affect shoot. I was very impressed that he had those kind of thoughts going through his head when getting ready to take his first shot at a deer. I know I did not when I was his age.
