Sitting in a ground blind with my buddy who's property I hunt and his little boy. Are we going to see something probably not but we having a fun time.

More deer will be harvested by sacrificing a few hunts to teach the next generation than by leaving them at home cause they won't sit still.

I got pretty worked up with the munchkin because he wouldn't sit still or be quiet. Then I remembered that I started hunting at 3, and I still move and make racket sometimes. The memories will last longer than the meat.
 
Well he gave up and went back inside at about 730.... pretty sure I just missed an 8 pt at 745


Just checked for blood nothing no hair or blood with the 45-70 if I hit him there would have been something. I forgot to borrow my other buddies shooting sticks 120 yards freehand with a 1x4 scope. Got to excited I guess. Had him at 35 yards but walking fast and tried to stop him and he spooked

Current situation. I’m hoping to not touch my rifle for the rest of the season. View attachment 386863
Your crazy I like bow hunting more than anything else but I'd rather be swinging a rifle the rest of the year. But after 10th I'm back to bow.
Next year I'm not letting a pile of does walk in the early season like I did this year
 
hunting all day tomorrow, probably my last sit opportunity of the year. if its brown....
 
I got dinner!! Tough old doe. Shot her in the head and she dropped but was laying there suffering, so I put another round in her head and she got up and ran off. Wtf! But she didn't make it far. Hunting with a 300 blackout with 220 grain subsonic ammo. Was only maybe a 30 yard shot.

Taking my daughter out tomorrow morning for her first time.

She's six and super excited.

We walked down the hunting/camping aisle at Walmart and she picked up a plastic flask and said we needed it. I asked what for, and she said 'to put the blood in to drink'.

I told her that's not one of our family traditions. (Apparently she's watched the historical documentary Red Dawn too many times.)

Then we walked past those big hokey/cheap knives, and she said I needed one of those in case we wounded a deer so I could stab it to death. (As she made big stabbing overhand motions)

So... yeah. I think she'll do okay if we get the chance to drop a hammer on one.
