Thanks fellas.
Mason wanted to hunt one of the stands we just put up last night. It's about 50 yards from where I had found one of Tines' sheds, and it's a set up he picked out. Honestly, it's a money spot with almost no questionable wind, easy access, and one I wish I had thought of earlier. It's so slick, he only has a 150 yard walk off of a township road! So last night he wanted to go and I could not possibly tag along as it was a Friday, and being a pizza flipper with an ever increasingly busy business, he had to go alone. I got away from the shop long enough to drive him over to the property and dump him out around 5. I texted him at 515 to make sure he was settled in the stand and he texted back that he was and had deer all around him already. At 615 I picked him up since he had already shot a deer, having seen 7. His arrow told me we would need to wait a bit. We went back about 9, tracked her 100 yards or so and found 3 beds. One of the little bucks he had seen came grunting right up to us as we stood in one of the bloody beds. I thought I might have to beat him to death with a flashlight, but he eventually left. We backed out. Resumed the trail around 9 this morning and found her a short distance away in a small creek, which was COLD!
After dropping her off at the processor we went over to my buddy's preserve for a Pheasants Forever youth hunt. Mason shot two birds with two good shots, and I won a shotgun in the raffle! Not a bad day. BTW, I don't even know what kind of gun it is as I didn't look at it but it is some kind of autoloading 12 gauge w a camo finish. Dean called me to let me know I'd won as we had already left the event.
