The kids were spoiled with deer sightings for sure. I grew up hunting the iron range in MN, and I can count on one hand the times we actually saw deer while I tagged along with my dad and uncle.
I didn't shoot a deer until I was 14, and it was the first one I could shoot at while hunting. So I hunted for 2 years before I got a chance at one.
Today, I don't think many kids would have stuck it out that long.
