[QUOTE="clintbailey, post: 2937033, member: 8544"] Better late than never! This was the first year my kids here had ever went out hunting, where they were going to be the ones pulling the trigger. They've been out calling coyotes with me, and watched me shoot a couple of those. Maybe deer hunting once or twice, didn't want to bore them with the longer sit times of deer hunting before they were ready though. We started on the first Monday afternoon of season, since they were busy opening weekend and I was on call at work too. Saw a few deer, does and small bucks, had to tell my son not to shoot a spike on the 5th day of season. They were taking turns, daughter in the morning and son in afternoon. We had saw a good buck a couple times early, but never could get a shot. This being a new place for us to hunt, I wasn't sure of the deer movement yet. The middle Saturday of season, my son and I went to sit in our little pallet blind we had put up on the creek bottom. This blind had not been as good as I had hoped, deer just weren't travelling the creek like I figured they might. Every deer we had seen from blind were almost straight to the right of it, and since my son shoots left handed, I had to sit him on left side of blind so he could shoot to the right easier. I told him to not fully commit to one side, because soon as you do, something will show up on the left, and guess what happened? Yep, this buck came out on our left and from behind us. He walked out into the clearing maybe 30 yards from us, and I told him to wait until it was straight in front of us to shoot, but the buck started walking straight away instead. I had my boy swap over to right hand with gun, and mouth grunted the deer stopped twice before it turned broadside. Perfect quartering away shot of around 60 yards, buck went 30 yards and piled up. Couldn't have been any prouder! [URL='http://imgur.com/opi5eSJ'][IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_opi5eSJ.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
