That's awesome! Congratulations to you guys!
Opener in PA went well. Other than a farm my family has hunted for over about 120 years is now leased out to a group from Pittsburgh.
So we lost our best place there. But again... I don't blame the owner (a now older retired man who bought it) for making money. Just sucks losing a property we've hunted for so long. My grandpa shot his first deer there back in the 40s. His dad may have shot his first deer there...etc.
But we had a good opening weekend. Hunted hard Saturday. Hunted Sunday morning then went to church and went back out for the afternoon to do some drives.
Dad got a nice 7 point.
two youth hunters got doe
Another youth got his first buck that wasn't a spike
and Jayden got another doe. That's three deer in a week for him and his .350 legend.
Another 5 point was taken by an uncle. I don't have pictures of that one.
I'm hunting Ohio for the week now. Hoping to put a tag of my own on something with horns.

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.

Got the two boys deer done and hung up. They're both happy.
I wasn't sure what to do with the doe. I wanted to do something since it was his first deer. I think it came out good for a doe.
