Awesome night hunting with my daughter!
 

Last year I took my daughter (10yrs old)out hunting a few times. We never saw anything but enjoyed being out. This year I purchased a ground blind to conceal us and it worked great. We haven't hunted yet together this year, but she has been asking me to go. I told her if I get home from work early enough we would go. So we made it out and about 40 minutes in the ground blind watching the birds all around us a button buck showed up in my small food plot. Due to the small area my blind is only 5 yards off this little plot, so any encounter was going to be a close encounter. I told Marissa I saw a deer and not tomove. She did great she stayed still. Then a doe showed up right behind him. The button buck was starring us down and trying to smell us, but I think my Deer Dander cover scent beat his nose:Dbecause all he did is stomp his foot then starting walking right to us. He got within 5 yards and thedoe was behind him. It was so neat and intense. This was my first time seeing deer from a ground blind.Once they starting feedingI peeked out themeshed window a little more and saw a nice mature doe. After seeing her I drew back and took aim behind the shoulder and watched my arrow zip thru. After the shoot the deer scattered andMarissa was excited andblurted out, "look at the deer run,look at the deer run". Then she proceeded to give me a big hug. It was awesome to harvest a deer with her.She help me track the doe also and I let her do alot of it and she was great. Asked alot of question and when we found the doe she was just as excited as I was. Wonderful night. If you get a chance to hunt with your kid you have to get a ground blind, so much fun.

Buzz Boy, that is great! What it is all about. Experiencing the outdoors with your children and family is the greatest of all. That is the reason that I set aside the first two days of rifle season, so that I can still hunt with my father. I am taking my 13 year old son out this year for his first archery season. He is so excited, I am thrilled that he has the fire just as much as I do. By the way congrats on a great doe.

Wow.........I know exactly how you must have felt at that moment. I have relived that moment quite a few times with my daughter. Just wait until she is the one releasing the arrow! I hope the two of you have many more enjoyable hunts together, but I am warning you dad......those little girls turn into better hunters than us guys. Congrats to both of you on a very successful hunt.
