I just wasn't feeling it today. Hunted pretty hard Saturday-Monday. Had some other stuff going on today that I couldn't get out in the morning.
Decided I'd get my nine year old out for the afternoon(on an apprentice license). I was going to wait until next year for deer, but just felt like taking him.
Glad I did. We were in the woods less than twenty minutes when I saw this little doe working her way towards us. Got the boy stood up and on a good rest and then walked him through it. "Wait, wait... Let it come a little further... Wait for it to stop... Can you see it's chest?... Ok when you're ready put the cross hair on the chest and press the trig...BOOOM"
Man was I excited. Perfect double lung. It ran about 50-60 yards and dropped. He watched it drop. We called his mom up and she brought the other kids out for the "tracking" I had him follow the blood trail to it.
