got my bud got his first muzzy kill, i think his 3rd? deer ever yesterday. I just sat in the passenger seat and had a freaking blast, I was shaking and I wasn't the one shooting lol I can see how you dads out there get so much enjoyment watching your boys/girls hunt.
We got setup at 3:30 and saw a doe at 4 but she was too far out then at 430 I saw some deer working towards the field. Threee came out and they were all small, they kept looking back and i said just wait there's one more. An ole nanny doe popped out. I told him to let em feed for a bit cuz they were working towards us. Well..... they worked up to 80yds and He whiffed and was upset... to his credit he's never shot an inline and didn't realize there was a little delay for the gun to go off.
With 30min of shooting hours left he wanted to just go home and I glassed down across the field and said nope we're going after those two.
After a bit of a stalk we got within 125yds and he knocked it down in it's tracks with one shot. Man that was exciting! I gave him an option, either you gut or you drag, he ended up dragging lol
Awesome it is great when you share the passion with others and love helping them out. I owe a lot to my buddy that has taught me countless things
