I'm about to head out to pick my dad up for an out of state deer hunt. The drive is about 18 hours so we'll take a couple days getting there.
It'll be an area we've never hunted before so we will be learning it as we go. I'll do my best to update this thread regularly so follow along.
In the meantime: Last weekend I was out with my best friend and his 8 year old son for deer camp in Washington. The goal was to get Luke a chance at his first buck.
Opening morning, we split up in the dark and headed to glass different areas. At daylight, I spotted seven bucks so I called my buddy and told him to head my way. It took us a couple of tries to stalk within shooting distance and get Luke set up. Eventually we were within 296 yards of the bedded bucks and Luke was able to make a great shot and kill his first buck.
The only other legal buck in the group stood still long enough after Luke's buck was down that I decided to fill the freezer with this young buck. We had a great time and made some awesome memories.
