I’m up here for a quick hunt before I have to head to Charlotte for an all day shopping trip for my wife’s birthday. Trying to get my mind right before I have to deal with all those people....
First sit of the season and I brought a first time hunter (my boss) with me. We got a late start to the day due to an alarm mishap but got set at about 7:30. About 20 minutes later a doe walked into his shooting lane. I talked him through the shot keep him calm and when she turned broadside I told him to shoot if he was ready. Safety clicks off and and then......click! The rifle has a 2 stage safety. Doe is still standing there so he slowly recocks and gets back on her and boom. She ran off so we sat and waited. 5 minutes later a second deer shows up and I shoot and watch the deer kick and hobble off. Gonna give it another little bit and go see what we got.

Got a nice doe with my 6-year-old in the stand. This kid has loved sitting with me in the woods since he was 3, but he was never able to sit still long enough for us to see a deer. Ever since he was 3 he would sit for 3 or 4 hours in a go, but he would get really frustrated to the point of tears when we didn’t see anything.
After almost ever hunt, he would start in, “Dad?”
And I would think “Oh, boy. Here come the complaints.”
He would ask “Is it still hunting season tomorrow?”
“Yes, son.”
“Can we come back and try again tomorrow?”
I wish I had that attitude when I was that age.
So we got in the stand late tonight because my wife had a weekend rotation. A really nice doe was already in the field when we walked in and she busted us. 30 minutes later, another 2 does walked into the field and I pulled the trigger on the bigger one. My son was so excited he was shaking. Then he asked if we could go to Bojangles and tell everyone we got our first deer together. We definitely have a future hunter on our hands. It was by far my favorite and most memorable hunt of my life, just for my son’s exuberance. Great day in the deer woods.
