Man what a great morning for deer hunting. Ricky and I sat out in the box blind to start off the youth hunt and Andrew sat with Ernie (bowbo) up in a stand Robert and Nik went across the road and sat in a ground blind by the creek.
Got my first text from Robert saying there was a yote not 5 feet in front of him and Nik. and the next text was from Robert again saying there is another yote comeing by. then another text from Ernie saying he just had a yote come by. thought man the yotes are out today.then a bit later got another from Ernie asking me if we saw the 2 fawns cross the field.but we didnt see them.
So hear we are seeing nothing and everyone else has seen some sort of movement.
about a hour later ricky says dad there is 2 fawns in the beans and sure enough there they were crossing in front of us. I ask him if he wants to shot one and he decides he wants to wait on a buck so i said ok. and the 2 fawns come out of the beans and onto the lane and walk right past us and head on out down the lane. It was but 5 min hear they come back and i said you sure you dont want to shoot one. this time he thinks about it for a bit and says naw ill wait.
so there they go again back down the lane and away from us. after they got around 300 yrds away Ricky looks at me and says dad i prolly should have shot one. and he kinda got upset with himself for not. but i told him there will be more chance at deer that there is plenty of hunting left.
And the next thing i hear is dad they are comeing back, so i said ok here is your chance if you want to shot this time and he said yeah ill do it this time. so we get the gun up and ready and i said lets wait and let them get as close as they can.
they were in a dead beed right for us. the first one trots right past us and out of our set up. so i said lets get the 2nd one. she came into 10yrds and stopped broadside and I say are you on her and he said yeah ok take the safty off(click) and i say when your ready shoot and Kabam he puts the perfect shot on her and she runs about 25 to 30 yrd and falls in the lane. and boy was it a great felling to see him put the smack down on her like that.
