Foggy Bottom Hunt

[gabuckeye]

As I promised - the story on the Foggy Bottom Hunt given away by Joe Anderson to my son. We really enjoyed meeting Joe and his family. He is a first class guy! We really liked him from the start. My son said Mr. Joe really likes people and wants to get to know them. Joe even had us come and shoot fireworks with his family on New Years Eve. His farm is absolutly beautiful! Plenty of woods, open fields and crops. I don't think I have hunted in a more pretty setting. He and several of his friends were really wonderful with my son. As you may remember my son is autistic. My son had never been able to climb above 3 feet. Joe had that taken care of - he has handicapped stands. By the end of the first day, Joe's friends had my son climbing up a ladder and into a tower stand. I was amazed! My son did so again the next day like it was nothing. Trust me it was something. I haven't been able to get him up a ladder ever! We saw deer while driving in the first morning (one looked to be a good 2 1/2 yr old 10 pt). We didn't see a single deer out of the stand. Our luck changed and the next three hunts we saw plenty of deer. In all we saw about 75 does in our 4 hunts. We also saw I think 11 bucks. We were looking for 3 1/2 year old or older bucks. Only saw 3 of those and one was a high rack 7 point before daylight, one only gave a brief view and was gone and one was a big broken rack 8 point on the last hunt. We were allowed to shoot does anytime we wanted but choose to wait on a big buck. We saw huge groups of turkeys every where we went. On the last hunt my son attempted a long shot on a big doe but didn't connect. There were 4 does taken that evening. We really enjoyed our hunt and I'm sure my son will never forget it. I would reccommend Joe and Foggy Bottom to anyone.
Again thanks Joe for the wonderful time and memories you provided us.

I don't care what you think of huntin a fenced area, that is a great story gabuckeye . I'll bet your son will never forget that experience. Hats off to Mr. Anderson

Hope you took lots of pixs of the smiles on Sam's face. He's a great kid. And folks I can tell you from personal experience GB's son Sam has more hunting ethics than most adults I know. One hunt inside a fenced enclosure isn't going to have him running out looking for an easy hunt or a pile of corn. With young folks like Sam on the horizon, the future of hunting is looking like a winner.
