What a great way to get these young kids in the woods and away from TV and TV games .
Gunner is 10 and this was his first deer hunt . Our first sit was crazy fun as we seen a ton of
deer that he could have shot but he told me I’m holding out for a buck dad
As it started getting dark I could see a big buck coming across the picked corn so I had him
get ready as I called to the buck … This buck came with in 30 yards of us and he told me he
was not going to shoot ? I was like WHAT ! Come to find out he couldn’t see real well as it was
getting dark ( still shooting hours ) and was not sure of his shot … Smart kid and I was happy that he didn’t shoot if he
wasn’t real sure about it …. Back to camp we went for some eats and get ready for the next days hunt .
As the days passed we didn’t see much for bucks and I told the lil man you best shoot a doe if one comes out and he
said yep today is a doe day dad … Haaaa Got back in our spot , not 15 min had went by and one walks out …
30 yard shot and Gunner was on her … BOOM …. Looks over at me and I said you missed bud !
As the Tears came and came I was like you need to just calm down and think about what you did.. WE ALL MISS !
I told him another one will come by you just need to get it together and nail the next one Nothing that a pop and a
candy bar can’t fix Not even a hour later a big doe comes out at 55 yards . I’m like get on her bud .. ” Gunner” I’m on her
dad …. ” Me” breathe , aim and pull that trigger …. BOOM , Down she went !!! High fives going like crazy and many many hugs !!
The best thing a dad can hear is your own kid saying thank you so much for taking me hunting and I love you dad !!!! Then you get the
“can we go look at her” …. …. Love that kid !!!!!!
