Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

We had another fun but deerless day in the woods today.

It was a big day for a little guy and his dad. It was Mini man's first day actually in the woods for deer hunting.

The temp was a balmy 9*F when we left the truck.

Loaded up and ready for Da turdy pointer in the pre dawn darkness.


Beginning the trek to the stand.

and the deerless hike back to the wheeler


With an 8 o'clock hot choclate break he was able to make it to almost 9:30. So nearly three hours in the stand. Not too bad for the first time.

When asked what his favorite part was, he told me "using the buck caller," (rattle bag) and a very predictable "driving the wheeler."
