WOW WHAT A WEEKEND!!!!!!!
I have temporarily switched gears to deer hunting as this last weekend (23rd & 24th) was the Ohio youth deer gun season. To start it off my 10 yr old daughter was up to bat. Sat morning we got into our tree stands that we're hung 20' side by side overlooking my food plot (corn). The temps were in the 20's with 20mph + blowing winds. We made it from 6:45 till about 9:45 without seeing any deer movement. We got down and I decided to set up the ground blind along the corn field and turnip field. After lunch we got back in at 1:00, to spend the afternoon in a nasty snow storm. At about 4:00 the snow let up and the sky temporarily cleared. I told Hunter to be ready they were gonna move. As I finished my sentence I looked to the woods and there stood a buck, he walked right out to the field edge and checked the scrape. At 55 yds standing still Hunter put the smack down on him. As he ran into the corn field I hollered you got him. Hunter jumped up, yelled, I got him? And burst into tears of joy and was hugging me. After a 40 yd tracking job her deer was found. Hunter has already got a couple does in the last few yrs but really wanted a buck this yr. I am so proud of Hunter and her 8pt buck!!!
My brother and both of my nephews had been hunting all weekend also. They had seen a few deer but had no shots. I told him to bring them up to my place. Sunday afternoon they showed up. I sent my brother and older nephew Dom down the road to a nice spot on state land. Dom has killed a couple deer already and wanted a buck. They saw 7 deer but no bucks. I took Nick (9 yrs old) out behind my house to a double ladder stand that overlooks a feeder. This is Nicks 1st yr hunting and only his 3rd time out for deer. I had some pics of does at about 5:00 two days prior and told him we would have a good chance. At 5:05 it was game on. A doe and 2 yearlings came in. As I was trying to help him get on the big doe for a shot I noticed another deer was coming in, it was a buck. As he followed the does in he decided to stop for some corn. Big mistake on his part. Nick dropped the hammer and the buck dropped on the spot, it was a gnarly 7pt with 5 on one side and a big tall blade with 2 pts on the other side. Congrats Nick!!!!!!
It's days like these that will be some of my greatest memories. I will see if my good buddy Krystal can get some pics on here for me😃
