re: Took 4 year old Tigerdeacon Jr. to the stand this weekend . . .

Two weekends ago I took loopback jr. (He'll be 5 in December) He had a blast, ate 4 fudge rounds on the afternoon hunt and played the iPad. (no sound, eff some headphones, I barely allowed the ipad)

We saw nothing but the next morning, after walking 50 yrds through the woods in the dark with him, climbing the stand twice to deliver him and the gear, at around 6am had three does come out and start feeding. He went nuts, took everything I had to keep him quiet.

We aren't supposed to shoot any bucks under 8pts so I had to make DAMN sure they were all does, it was still very dark, must have spent 5 minutes looking through the scope with him saying "Daddy, Daddy, are you gonna shoot? Daddy, Daddy, you gonna shoot one? Daddy, Daddy hurry before they leave, Daddy Daddy, my hands are cold, Daddy, Daddy what are you doing? Daddy Daddy Daddy" I just knew he was going to spook them so I picked the biggest doe and shot, turns out it was a spike...damn the bad luck. Here's a few of loop jr.
