I've enjoyed 5 nice years of hunting with my 16yr old daughter Morgan. But we left for Region 8 with her younger siblings Kullen (11) and Keira (12) for their very first deer season. We were also camped with Steeleco and family and I invited newer member Petros65 and his 14yr old son Jason to come along. They both came over from South Africa and they were in the core class with my 2 youngest.
We met up Friday night the day before Sept 1st. Joked around.....Petros told the kids he faxed the ministry for an order for 3 deer for the kids...... relaxed at camp and kids went to bed early
Up at 4 30am and off we go to some of my favorite spots for deer.
Got to an area of the mountain and we hiked in to a little spot that I wanted to sit with them over looking a small bowl. We saw a doe at 300 yrds but it was sooooo windy and our scents swirling I decided to pack it up and go for a drive into a different spot. On our way in we saw 6 deer at 200 yrds. A 3x4 buck and does. By the time I got Keira set up on the bog pod he was at 300yrds and standing broadside. So we watched for a bit and they wandered off. Great start but too far for her skills to be sure.
Off we go again to another area.
