Well, yesterday was the excitement of the last youth season. I am fixin to tell you why :)
We got up this morning, the kids pumped and ready to go, and so was I. We ate protein bars and a banana each and hit the road. We spooked deer pulling in the driveway, sad for the adults, exciting for the kids. But it meant there were deer moving in the area, so I'll take it. We all get out, wish eachother luck and head to our spots. After sitting there from 5:40 till about 7:30, we hadn't seen anymore deer but heard a gunshot on the property next to us. The laughing begins now. My daughter says "Well, there go all the deer! They probably killed the last one!" LMAO! I said "Sugar, Daddy saw 15 of them the other day". To which she responded "WELL WHERE ARE THEY?!" Holy crap, she had me cracking up! I wasn't making a noise but my belly was shaking! About 8 she said she was freezing to death, that her whole body was frozen, and her feet didn't work anymore....again, more belly shaking from Daddy! We finally got down when I noticed she was literally shaking. We stalked a little while and headed back to the truck. My buddy and my nephew came out shortly thereafter and we headed home. We saw 5 deer on a neighboring property, 3 does, a big spike, and a nice 6 pointer. My daughter said "SHOOT IT DAD!" HA HA Wish I could have! Well, I love hunting, I love my daughter, and I love the experience and being able to share it with you guys here. I may have lost a pound or two laughing today, but dadgummit, what a day with my daughter!!!
