Grandson Reed went for his first deer hunt with his dad on the first day of rifle hunting season. Within a couple of hours his dad completed filling his deer tags. Reed then wanted to help grandpa get a deer, so on the second day of the season he was up at 5:00AM and ready to go hunting.
The temperature was 18F and after a short ride to our deer stand the first job was starting the propane heater.
With the deer stand warming up it was time to sit back, drink some hot tea and wait for the deer.
No deer yet, but a flock of 2 dozen turkeys came in to the deer stand.
The turkeys got within 30 feet before walking back into the woods.
Still no deer and Reed just happened to bring a deck of cards. Reed suggested we play "Go Fish" with the loser would gut the deer (if we get one). Reed lost the first game and grandpa lost the second game. Time to quit the cards. Reed's dad stopped by around noon so Reed could pick out a Christmas tree. At around 4:00PM grandpa shot a 6-point buck.
