Here is a video of a spike that came within 5-6 feet of us during the evening hunt. This is the same one that came in during the morning hunt. this deer came so close to the shooting house that Luke could have patted him on the head.
After this spike came in, another smaller spike feed in close to us. I could not let him shoot as bucks were off limits. 15 minutes later a doe came in and stopped 15 yards from our shooting house. Luke lined up the .44 magnum and put a perfect shot on her. She ran into the woods and since it was getting dark, we went back to camp. Once there we got Joe and we drove back to the spot Luke shot her. Once we found blood, Joe suggested that I let Luke trail her. After making him slow down and take his time, Luke found her about 75 yards away. Here is a blurry picture. I guess I had it on a wrong funtion with the camera.
We had a great time. Thanks to Joe and Bill for making this an awesome weekend for all the kids. We also went fishing (caught 50 bass), ate wild game, and shot guns. What a blessing it was to share this with my son.
