Hunt Story
We rushed home from school and jumped in the shooting house. I had both kids with me, his older sister said she wasn’t missing his first deer. We got settled in about four, and about 30 minutes later we had five or six does come in and start feeding. Within 30 minutes of the does showing up we catch antlers coming through the woods. He comes into the food plot and starts chasing does. He finally settles down and gives us a broadside shot. Reed put the 308 suppressed right on the mark, and the deer didn’t run 30 yards. This is his first deer, so the excitement was overwhelming, the shaking, the (me) tearing up was a something I will never forget. I can say both of my children (7&10) have been hit by the hunting bug hard, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Not bad for his first deer. The last picture is of his sister blooding his face, she said she had to pass on the tradition, I’m proud to say the least.
