Took the kiddos out for the opener this morning. Spotted a mule deer doe that I wanted to hang my B tag on and we made our approach. We belly crawled up to the edge of the coulee she was in. A young buck spooked and they ran up the other side of the coulee. She and two spikes stopped and looked back one last time. I was slung up in the prone. Told Baby to cover her ears and let the deer have it. She stumbled and rolled down into the bottom of the coulee. The kids were stoked. The boy has done this before, but it was the 3 years old first go. We initiated her proper! Nice short stalk. ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/DSC02766.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/DSC02767.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/DSC02775.jpg) Going to be tough for me to top this one boys! We had a blast! Travis

Well done Travis and thanks so much for sharing this with us. I really love threads like this.
Here's a tip of the hat to you sir for taking the time to show your children the ways of the hunt. As others have said, they will indeed remember this for the rest of their lives.
Thanks again and good luck on your upcoming hunts.
Regards,
Dwayne
