My good luck charm wanted to join in the fun again last saturday, so we took my buddy hunting with us again. Well it paid off cause he got his first deer ever at about 8:30. He sat in my stand, while Anja and I sat off the to right about 10 yards away tucked down off a little hill. A nice little natural ground blind. He had his crossbow. I'm still a little leary of shooting a longbow out of a stand, so i always sit on the ground. lol It was kind of funny cause no one was looking where they needed too. I was looking to my right. My buddy was looking our way when a 4 point came out from the left. He happened to turn just as it stopped. We think it saw me move my head down to look at anja, and he let the bolt fly. Straight heart shot and pierced both lungs. I just heard the thump and looked up in time to see him drop 20 yards away. The way the sun hits the stand in the morning (blinding!), he thought it was a doe. I thought so too until we walked up on it and realized it was a little 4 point. I teased him about getting deer fever.... I'd have let bambi walk. He was still shaking from the excitement. Needless to say, he was on cloud nine the whole day. Anja was pumped and granted the title of good luck charm. We processed it and took the mount to the taxidermist for his first deer ever. Pretty cool day to be apart of someone's first deer.....

Of course Anja was ready with her little fred bear bow, but couldn't resist the sandman's call... hahaha She was all excited about geese one minute and out like a light the next. I told her not to tell her mom this is what we really do.... sneak out of the house to nap in the stand. haha! ;D Attachments:
