Thread: The joys of hunting with kids

Nice and balmy this weekend wasn't it.

Well, Gottabe and me hit the stand before daylight. Had a nice 13" 6 point come out and he missed him clean at 60 yards. DRATS!!!!

Went back in the PM with Gonnabe and had a 14" 8 pt come out in a trot at 7 yards trailing a doe, turn up the pipeline and make it 80 yards down before he could get his gun on him. The deer paused for 1 second, the poof he was gone. DOUBLE DRATS!!!!

But wait, there's more. 20 minutes later, I hear a crash behind me, couldn't see him though. Then a walking deer in the leaves - CLOSE. Still can't see him. Finally, I raise up and the same 8 pt is 3 yards from the base of the stand. Hand the gun over and Gonnabe's boot brushed the stand and poof, he was gone again. TRIPPLE DRATS WITH CRAP ON TOP!!!!

No wonder I don't like hunting any more.
