Got a nice one with my son

Saturday morning hunting with my 4 year old started like any other, him not being still and not being real quite. I think he may be my new good luck charm though. Had 2 does blowing at 8:45. The wind was blowing from them to us so they did not smell us and they were out of sight. My son was wanting to get out of his sleeping bag and sit in his chair and could not wait a few minutes until the does walked by a shooting lane. I put him in his chair and when I stood up the does blew and ran off about 80 yards below us. It was 9 o'clock by this time. Every few minutes he would ask for his gloves, face mask or his hat. At 9:30, I looked to the area the does had been and I could see a good buck rubbing his horns in a tree. I told my son to cover his ears that it was a BIG buck! When I shot the deer ran and fell about 60 yards in front of us. Then when we got down and over to the deer he said we got us a monster deer, daddy. Definitely a day I will never forget!

Way to go! It's good to hear that its possible to kill a deer hunting with a 4 year old. I had my four and five year old with me on a couple of hunts over Thanksgiving, but didn't see anything. Still a fun and memorable time, though.

He has been carrying the gun lately.

I know this is an old post, but he has went from watching to being a very good shot of his own. Maybe one day he will let me shoot something.
