We had a good youth weekend hunt. It was warm, but we reached a new milestone in our hunting legacy. TC got his first buck and did it with his Great Uncle Bob's Remington 760, 30-06. TR had put the set up together with TC in a ladder stand, TR covering TC's back with bow, and me laying on the ground rattling. Bob ( our deer decoy) was out about 35 yards. 15 Min's after the first rattle sequence the buck came in. He didn't rush in but was just walking. He never got to Bob because TC didn't wait for him. TC shot and hit him, although we had to chase him. He was wounded bad and would lay down, but not die. TR jumped him up and got a shot. We waited, had lunch and went back with the all the boys. We came apon the deer and he could not get up. Shilo shot to finish him, but when we got to him I had to shoot him in the neck to kill him. We only had one gun during the chase because it was youth season. we were passing it back and forth Anyway we got him and all were happy.
Shilo killed a fawn with is bow, the smallest deer I have ever seen. He said he was going to shoot the first thing is saw because he wanted to get his first deer with a bow. Well, he got his chance and took it.
Overall we a great week end and now all the grand kids have bucks under their belt.
