Hope everyone did well. Took the 7yo for an actual "deer hunt". He's gone with me the prior 2 openers but it was mainly "go sit on a rock a couple hundred yards from the truck and glass deer until he got cold" (1.5hrs max)

Well..this year we got out early..walked a nice distance across a CRP field to a spot I know. Fog lifted at daylight, and the first place I looked with my binoc's there was a 3pt buck staring at me. I showed him where the buck was, told him to plug his ears, and then I tipped bucky over. Done at 7:17am!

So it was cool for the boy to "see" his first buck whacked. HE WAS JACKED. He's getting online to figure out how to start studying for his hunter safety test.
