30-45min in. Still have our jackets to put on if we get cold. No deer yet. Absolutely love being out here with my 12yr old son. We are blessed.
Thank you Quantum Jon. Garrett is honoring Conner today with some of his camo on.

Five doe just came through. Didn't like something and bugged out. Just about done. Kid is ready to pack up.
Garrett got cold in stand. We are on the ground now. Not sure how but stalked within 50yds of a deer on a slow walk of its own. Couldn't get him set up but somehow never spooked the deer. Found rubs. Made a makeshift natural ground blind. Staying warm. Having fun. We will slowly work towards a camera to change a card. Look for scrapes opened up. Keep having fun.
Just had an "all the fun, none of the mess" moments. We had a makeshift groundblind setup. Garrett said "Let's hang out here til 930 and then go change your camera card." It's his hunt. Works for me. 930 comes and I do a thorough look around before we move and see two young deer. Looks like a brother and sister. I try to identify a button as I'd rather not kill another future momma doe. Garrett has the cross hairs right on the heart according to his recollection of the moment. We were within 50yds. Never spooked. Never caught us moving. Told him it was up to him. He said he wanted a buck. Now he is regretting not shooting. Said he thought he only had a buck tag. Now that he realizes he can shoot anything, who knows what will happen. Likely not see anymore. Ha. Garrett says his trigger finger is itchy. Lmao
We have now moved to a spot 50 yds or so from either property line where we need to stop. It's as good a spot as any in this area. We decided to further clear this area of leaves for gun season. We like it here. Going to try some rattling. Wait a bit. Swap card. Grab lunch. Making memories today.

The things kids say so randomly while in the woods. What a hoot! With the wind blowing I told him to keep an eye on the dead ash trees. After this he started noticing the noises of the trees creaking in the wind. Couple hours into the hunt Garrett says out of the blue "I wish that tree would just fall. All the creaking is driving me crazy. It is dead. It is leading such a miserable life. It JUST NEEDS TO FALL!" lmao
We did two different sets on the ground, did rattle sequence, thought we heard movement but never saw anything. Boy did great for being out in the cold for 6 hours.

I'll be out in the morning. Snow will still be there, wind will be calmer and I can skip the orange vest. It's killing me being indoors today though lol.
