What a fun weekend of hunting with my daughters. Deer are finally starting to move. Nothing big, but moving finally none the less after almost two weeks of not seeing a single deer.
Saturday evening, Sydney (13) and I were setting in a blind on a field edge. We had a young doe come up behind us and almost stick her head in the blind window. Sydney got turned around and set up quickly. By then the doe had moved out to 25 yards. Syd dropped her where she stood with her crossbow.
Sunday morning, Trevor Marie (15) and I were in a double stand set up back in the timber. We watched a forkie dog some does for a while before being chased out of the field by another young buck. The forkie came right to us. I let T call her own shot and she put a text book perfect shot on the buck at 15 yards. He fell on his face 20 yards later. Nothing huge, but she was very happy with her shot placement. This was her first buck with a bow (second bow kill overall).
All in all ... a pretty darn good weekend spent with my girls.
