Sons first deer, second deer and third deer in one day.
I kept my 13 year old son home from school and went out hunting Monday and Tuesday. Monday we went to a place I had seen recent signs and set up a blind. A few hours of nothing we rethought it and checked our own land and found nothing but sign. I finally bit the bullet and phoned to ask permission on a piece of land that I knew people had had success with recently.(thanks Roy) So we set up the blind at on a field Edge against Crown Land and waited, 10 minutes before Sunset a pair of does walked out and my son line them up with the scope and proceeded to get some serious Buck Fever and didn't want to pull the trigger. We regrouped and went out the next morning before first light and got set up. 10 minutes in and out walked a doe who obligingly stood broadside at 75 yards and he lined her up with my .270 and took an ok shot and off she ran. He did a great job finding the fur from the impact but couldn't find blood for 50 yards. He did a great job finding the first Blood and tracking to the downed deer. She was down and sleepy so we backed out 50 yards to wait for her to expire, and another doe walked in and he took her at 20 yards with a heart shot. We got the guts out of them and loaded in the truck and went into town for lunch. We went back out with two hours of light remaining and steaming gut piles in close proximity, got set back up in the Blind and waited. 15 minutes before last light a little spike Buck walked out, he was supposed to be mine but I thought my son would appreciate it more so I handed him the rifle and let him blouch. Nice lung shot with no meat damage He only ran about 50 yards in plain view bucking the whole time. An experience neither of us are likely to forget. limiting out with 3 trout is a good day fishing, but limiting out with 3 deer? 12 hours of processing later they are safely in my freezer. I swear if I have to butcher another deer...
