RE: Couple more pics of my deer
no but the child in the third pic with the orange coat on should of taken the shot. He was with me and without him, I would of never had this deer. I spotted him and after a long watch he trotted off into the swamp or so i thought. I was disgusted because I thought I was going too get him and it was the first time I took my son alex out and I wanted so bad too shoot a deer and make this experience good for him and I felt like I let him down. Well I sat down in the stand but my kid kept looking for him and about two minutes later, my son whispers dad, its coming straight at us and its a monster. Well, it wasnt a boone or crockett or anything but it was a nice bodied deer and I was able too get him. It was funny because after he said it was coming straight for us, I got up and looked and could not see him from my spot in the stand. I told him he was nuts but as it turns out, sometimes kids do know best. I put him down with my 243 with one shot but he did scamper off. I got down about five minutes later and found him but he wasnt dead yet and jumped and ran off a little further. i told my son we would come back and get him. I explained sometimes its better not too push them but just too let them lay and die. Well when I came back, there was no blood trail and no snow so i had a little trouble finding him in the deep woods. Well, guess who found him, my son. He is a life savior and he luvs the outdoors.

RE: Couple more pics of my deer
Conrgats to you and good for your son. It's always great when a youngster loves the outdoors. My dad started me in the woods when I wasless than a year old. He took me on my first hunt when I was 8 yrs old. He didn't get anything, butwe saw one deer. After that experience I couldn't wait to get back out "huntin." Like your son, I was with my dad when he killed a buck back in 95. I got to see him shoot it, I got to drag it, and I got to gut it. I learned alot about deer hunting that year and have been loving this sport ever since.
You are doing a great job introducing your children to the woods, keep it up.
