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

just make sure your safety is on, and you carring an empty chamber.

You don't want it to off before you're ready.

I'm a Delta boy, Safety is on at all times..lol

Orange hat is singing The Time has come, today, kiddo says her hat is singing Thunder naaa naaa naaa. Thunder... She had a visit for more blood work yesterday and says her arm is sore but she wants to go hunting.

Thankfully my pasture to hunt I can easily see 1/4 mile from the house so I'm staying close to home. Anyway, We are off for the youth hunt shortly I'll have some pics later today or tomorrow. Hopefully she gets a deer and I'll find some ducks to follow tomorrow. Good Luck to anyone else going!

Thunder!!!!!! Oh my GAWD.... Kiddo scores a 10 point nontypical!!!!! 1 shot bang and deer is 20 yards at the first shot, kiddo squares in the shoulder, she shucks the Marlin 336 lever as the buck is haulin azz away from us and bang she nailed it again,deer is down only 30 yards from where it stood for good.. All this with iron sights and she saw 3 different bucks this morning..I'm SOOOO PROUD OF KIDDO!!!!pics to follow later...

What a morning!!! Just finished cutting up the deer, and going to get cleaned up. Pics soon I promise. My cousins 8 year old scores a doe from the back porch of a new house in progress being built for my sister and her hubby too. They had all but quit for the morning with two boys both cousins hunting together with thier Dads. My Bro in Law is showing Cousin and Cousins Dad the house and two does walk out. They count to three and both boys shoot at the same time, one of the boys missed. They said the 7 year old was shaking like a leaf he was so excited.

My kiddo said her heart was pounding as I was whispering to her to hold for the clear shot, she had to hold on the deer for like 2 minutes waiting for the first shot. As her buck is walking toward us she whispers when do I shoot, I say when I say boom. I say and I hear the report watching the deer take off, I knew I would be dragging his azz from the bottom of an 80 foot holler. Nope kiddo plows him again and drops it in the pasture it was too easy driving the 4 wheeler over and slidin him in the trailer. I'm still over flowing with emotion with all the stuff that has been going on to see her first smile as she was running toward the deer. She looks back smiling/glowing, I hope I never forget that look,she was yelling common Daddy I got him, I wanna see that buck...

Ok guys if ya want to see kiddo I'm going to need someone's email addy because the fire isn't wanting to link to the pics from my pic site for some reason. Any volunteers. Thanks!

wabo,sincerest congtatulations to the youngun on her deer.

Dave

Thanks guys!!! I'll tell her, ya know little weezy has become kind of a mentor to her. She is watching and counting on you guys to show us how to have fun. Your doing a pretty Great job so far, building a new camp, putting up comfy shootin house's and stands, camping trips, fishing, 4 wheeling.

Dave its starting now only two weeks away for our opening, I'm beginning to convert and the urge to step into hunting mode is getting stronger. Looking forward to your pics too, eachtime I step outside now I'm thinking more and more about sitting listening to the sounds of deer coming in.

Standing beside my munchkin while those deer were soo close to us I realized something. My hunting career is just Really beginning, here I thougt I was midway through or further. Nope Kiddo doing that beside me and now I know the REAL FUN is only just beginning!!!

Lets keep sharing our fun together with eachother for this to me is what hunting is Really all about. The Stories, the hardships, the sucesses and failures, the friendships made, the shared knowledge. Thanks for your thread here Dave!!!!! I feel I've made abunch of new hunting pals because of this place!!!! Kiddo feels the same and wants to say hi to Weezy along with the rest of you guys and Good Luck to everyone's hunting as well...

first an updated forky toe track find. beverage can for size reference.

Now thats what I'd call a shootin house of comfort!!!! Your going to have MrsDave spoiled if you aren't careful..

YES, YES, YES!!!!
Awsome wabo..... Congrants to the girl, and you. You do know her campfire name is Thunder now right?

Thunder, it sounds like Thunder Struck for sure.

Wabo, no body deserves that buck more than you guys. FRIGGIN AWSOME.

That is just great. Great I tell ya. If I was there I give her a hug, so you have to do it for me. Looks like daddy has a taxidermy bill 'eh?

My father in law got a pretty good 10pt on Friday, if he ever figures out his e mail, I'll put up the pics. decent tines and 19" wide. Nice buck.

Congrats again Wabo.
