when i hunted with dad i was usually in sight......this was the first year opening morning i wasnt in sight of him.......i was 100 miles away....hunting alone for the first time ever on a rifle opener....i do hate hunting like that....i can watch him moving....by 8am he ate all his lunch....wresting it out of a plastic bag....then sucking on a water bottle so it crunches.....then 10 or so if i didnt shot yet hed walk over and see if i saw anything....he knows i was shooting the first deer i seen....id just say did you hear the mauser bark??im done hunting like that..love hunting with dad.....but being by his side stand hunting is coming to an end.....woods are plenty big for both of us......when i do hunt with him ill have a spot somewhere else on the same land.......doing drives im usually 50-100yds lined up with someone.....but we are doing drives....i did have 2 kids scare 2 does away i was squeezing on a few weeks ago....came out of the drive into the field as planned.....were going to walk right infront of me...but stopped at the corner because the 2 kids werent smart enough to tuck back in the woods a few yards.....they saw the deer after i did...and were talking about the deer.....deer heard them and as i was squeezing the trigger they bolted....i heard the girl laugh right before....i was mad.....but its how we hunt.......people just gota learn they still have to be quiet and hide a bit.......
