Shot a doe on 12-27. I got out to my stand a little late at 3:00pm and at 3:20 I had 8 does and fawns come walking by. The second to the last was the biggest and I had room for one more in the freezer so I sent a nitro stinger tipped with a 100gr muzzy through the boiler room. Double lung and a great blood trail in the snow, I let my six year old son do the tracking and boy was he pumped and me proud after he found her seventy yards away (his second successful track job this year). Dressed out at 115 pounds. He wanted to go out hunting with me, but I told him it was too cold for him (15 deg). If I would have known it would have only been twenty min. I would have let him go along for the hunt. He does great sitting, I take him early season before the rut and it is a blast hearing him retell the hunts. Last year he was there when I shot a six pt. and to hear him tell the story with all his energy is awesome.

Well done! Congrats! Were havin fun now!

good job!

Way to go

Hungar, the fact that you are getting your son involved, is just as rewarding as actually shooting a deer. I started my son when he was eight ( he is fourteen now) and we go together every chance we can. Now if I can only get him to pop out of bed for school the way he does to go hunting, the missus would be happy too!

That's awesom you got the kid out there with you. Congrats on the doe and the time in the woods with your boy.

congrats

i havent got a late season doe yet[:@]

Congratulations Hungar. That is awesome your son was with you when you took the other deer. I started taking my son with me on my bowhunting trips when he was 8 years old. He is 11 now and took a nice mature 10 point with a crossbow for his first deer this year. He loves it and I think he is hooked.

Sideways, that was pretty funny but I tell you what. My boy never likes getting out of bed early. He does get up easier for hunting than school but I still have to rouse him out of bed. Guess he takes after his old man, never been an early bird myself.

Thanks all and congrats to your son blodg. I know Hunter is already hooked, after I went out for one of my hunts he took all his hunting clothes out of his tub and got dressed with camo makeup and all then "hunted" for about an hour. I get out of the woods and he asked if I shot one, I tell him no and he tells me that he shot a nice four point. We go eat dinner and give the deer some time to sit. We go back to his ground blind that he made and he shows me where the deer was standing when he threw the stick at it, we couldn't find his stick due to the millions of other sticks on the ground. We "looked" for blood for a half hour to no avail. The kid has a great immagination, he almost had me convinced that he got one with a 10 inch maple twig. Hunter and Garhet got new bows, camo and a 3-d target for x-mas so now he thinks he's going hunting next year, boy will he be surprised when I have the heart to tell him that he still has six years to wait.
