Took my daughter on her first deer hunt

After many weeks of "Daddy can I go hunting with you?" I was able to get my 5 year old babygirl in the woods with me. I waited for a day when hunting pressure was down and the weather was warm enough. On November 26th, that day came. We loaded up my pack with plenty of goodies to keep her comfortable and away we went.

Pic #1 Our first stop was the place where I shot my deer. She was facinated as I showed her where the deer walked out, where I shot, and where the deer fell. There was even a little bit of gutpile left so she could see that too. "Daddy where did the rest of the guts go?". I replied, "The coyotes ate them." Well, I don't know if any of you read Dogdocs story about coyotes this past fall but NEVER mention coyotes!! blush.gifgrin.gif

Pic #2 After sitting and watching for deer for a while Abigail got a little bored so we went for a walk. We almost immediately started seeing deer left and right. We walked out into a field to look around and about 10 deer busted across the bottom of the field. I quickly grabbed my camera and told Abi to smile. The pic is a little shakey but if you look over her right shoulder you can see the deer. BTW, she was quite mad that I did not shoot one grin.gif

Pic #3 Abigail began to tire so we went back to the truck. Along the way I shared with her the view from the hill that I enjoy so much.

I was a perfect day! We got to see tons of small game and deer. She was totally facinated with every aspect of the great outdoors. For the rest of the day all I heard was "Thank you Daddy" and "This was the best day ever". And she was correct, for me it was in fact, one of the best days ever!
