toddyboman Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Well my weekend buddy that normally hunts with me stated he wanted to sleep in Saturday. SO that leaves me to be the shooter and film guy :48: Well this ol' girl came in perfect to 20 yards.......Back strap fever took the best of me....and well she is in the freezer Here is the shot.... Always love this look......and a small tribute to our dear ol friend. I saw Bill Winke do this a time or 2 with his kids and tracking. SO I thought as soon as my kids get old enough I too will do it. SO I took Hannah to the blood trail. I had yet to really recover the deer but I showed her the first drop of blood and said ok you follow it till you find the doe......Here is the video Pic of the two of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 That is special, Todd! Enough to do just to shoot one, but to get it on tape is cool. Looks like you got away with a little bit. Little Hannah was all over that blood trail, for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layin on the smackdown Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Awesome vidoe todd!! Looks like she almost had you pegged but couldn't quite figure you out...that was sweet, especially how you pulled off moving the camera while she was looking at you...Great video of the track job too. Your little girl did awesome! Gosh, i might need to get one of those, looks like it takes alot off the back...she's so short she gets a really good view of the ground...Thanks for sharing and congrats!

toddyboman Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Awesome vidoe todd!! Looks like she almost had you pegged but couldn't quite figure you out...that was sweet, especially how you pulled off moving the camera while she was looking at you... There is several limbs on the big tree I am in an lots of under growth around me I was pretty concealed.....which allowed me to get away with some of the movement....but she did have an idea I was there...just not enough for her to leave dodge. Great video of the track job too. Your little girl did awesome! Gosh, i might need to get one of those, looks like it takes alot off the back...she's so short she gets a really good view of the ground...Thanks for sharing and congrats! You have a great point.....she was all over the blood....One because it was a good easy blood trail to follow but two because as you mentioned she was closer to the ground! I had to stop her at one point cause she was getting ahead of me and I thought she was just walking but when in fact she was just following the blood as I told her to do! IT WAS FUN!!! :D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Cool clips Todd, can really appreciate what it takes getting a kill shot on tape when hunting by yourself. Great getting the kids out with you. You must have been concealed really well to get away with getting your bow drawn, sure looked like she had you pegged. Congratulations.

toddyboman Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks Everyone! Cool clips Todd, can really appreciate what it takes getting a kill shot on tape when hunting by yourself. Great getting the kids out with you. You must have been concealed really well to get away with getting your bow drawn, sure looked like she had you pegged. Congratulations. Yup getting the camera, bow and deer all in the same place and getting a shot is a challenge. Many deer have saw another day because I couldn't get something in the right place I should have taken a pic of the stand......I am pretty well concealed by the tree, branches and under growth all around me.
