So like the boy and i went up country for the youth season.
We had been around Keromeos the first weekend but wanted to see some more country.
So we are driving all day and had seen dozens of does. No bucks. Driving back to camp at dusk and there in the ditch is a 4 pt. Holy crap. Now the boy had left his glasses back at the trailer, mistake #1. This buck is 8 feet from the truck.
So i say Jeremy there's a fricken 4 pt. He says i can't see it. It's right therrrrrreeeee!!! So i drive up the road a bit so he can get out without spookin the thing. He gets out of the truck.
The deer is in the ditch eating like nothing is going on. Shoot him Jeremy shoot him. I can't see him. He's right therrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Then he see's him. The look on his face is priceless. So instead of shooting he walks closer. I'm "whisper yelling" SHOOT HIM SHOOT HIM.
The thing bounds across the road into the opposite ditch. Crap. We go after him. Holy crap there are TWO MORE bucks down there. Jeremy is frozen, i say shoot him. He says which one? I say ANY ONE SHOOT ANY ONE. So he shoots, nothing happens. He says i got him dad i got him. Jeremy they are still standing, shoot him again. He says i only brought one bullet. What do you mean you only brought one bullet????? That's all i thought i would need. Go get another one.
By the time he gets back the deer are in the bush. The boy is devasted beyond words. I'm wondering were did i go wrong, poor kid.
So nothing this youth season. October we are going to Valemount for a nice week away.
Live and learn eh.
