Hunting with the Son (LIVE)

Sitting here with my 8 yr old boy in a tower blind in Kent County. Company I do business with invited us to take a mature and cull buck over the weekend.

38 degrees, overcast, and little wind. Sitting in an open field with 2ft tall grass with heavy brush and fenceline to the South and West of me.

Feeder just went off.

Big bodied deer under feeder. Can't see what it is yet. Common light!

Make it 2 now.

good luck!

Maybe the 2 you need?

Let a 120 class 8pt walk. Very hard not to let my son shoot. 3.5 maybe 4.5 year old deer.

Man let him walk????? Better man than I!!!!

Kill 'em all Jack!!!!

Quiet now.

Yeah, looking back I should've let my boy shoot. Buck had 6" brow tines, 7-8" G2s and 3s with about a 16" spread. Not pencil horned but not real heavy. Definitely a pretty deer.

Regret is setting in lol.

I hate first mornings.

The view.

definitely an open area. letting a good buck pass can play with your mind a bit. Something else will show over the next couple days. Good Luck

Sitting now facing the NW about 200 yards away from the highway. See how this goes.

Good luck.

Any luck?

Not yet. Saw another nice mature 8 this morning but we're only allowed to shoot 10s or better.

Very discouraging when even on all the camera pics they have nothing but 8s.

I feel your pain. We haven't seen one deer at our lease but hunted my uncles place this past weekend. Saw lots of deer and a really nice buck. I'm guessing about 18"+ spread with LOTS of antler! Roughly 200 yds away but wouldn't let my boy take a shot. We were hunting for a big doe. Hard to tell him no.
