Logans first deer...

Yesterday Logan and I (Dad-Jeff) got up really early and went for the hills on the opening day of the archery hunt. This is the third year Logan and I have hunted with a bow. We have always seen bucks, but have never gotten in position for LT to take a shot. We saw a few does early in the morning. I got excited when Logan tapped me on the shoulder, while riding to our "spot" on the 4-wheeler, and pointed out two nice bucks. We got within 40 yards, but an oppurtunity for a shot eluded him once again. That is the frustrating part of bow hunting, you see a lot of bucks, but rarely get within range for a shot. We hunted those bucks for a while and saw five other deer, three of which were bucks. We walked back to the 4-wheeler and headed down to where they were. Logan rode on the front of the 4-wheeler so he could quickly hop off and hopefully get a shot. During our ride down to the deer, the five deer had disappeared into the trees. Logan saw another buck in the middle of the road. As we approached the spot, Logan spotted the deer just 30 yards off the road. While getting to a spot where he had a shot and trying to get yardage the deer started to turn and walk away. Logan took aim and finally got his chance at about 40 yards uphill, he made it count. He shot the deer around 9:15am. He was very very excited. We packed up and headed for the truck. Just after loading the 4-wheeler into the truck it started to downpour. Talk about a cinderella hunting story. It was a great day be a Dad. In the last picture, I am taking the picture from where Logan shot and Logan is standing where the deer was.
