My son is home on leave from the Air Force and we finally got a chance to go hit the woods. Our main goal was coyote and our secondary targets were hogs... after we set up, which was about a half hour before dark, I told my son deer season is still in and if we saw a legal buck we will shoot him because family members have asked for some meat. Well... no shit, about 2 or 3 minutes before legal quitting time for deer, this deer steps out. My son was on the thermal and said it was a doe. I was still on day glass and saw what looked like a legal length main beam so I shot. Turned out to be a unique buck with a nice drop tine. I even had my 5-round magazine in my AR15 so I was legal from top to bottom.../images/smilies/icon_smile_cool.gif
We stayed put for an hour calling but no luck so we decided to move to another location. The boy on gun...
We got set up and it wasn't long until various hogs crossed our path... my son was dead on with his aim tonight and he went eight for eight with the longest kill coming in at about 150-175 yards. He managed to take a very large boar with really nice cutters.
A group of five came by and he managed to get four of them. We continued to call but despite hearing yotes in the distance, none came within detection range. We gathered up the hogs for some pics and called it a night.
We had a great night afield and I got to do some father-son talking which was nice. I miss my son being home but I'm very proud of what he is doing. I look forward to out next time afield. If all goes well, I'm headed out to WY (where my son lives) for mule deer in October where he says he can put me on a buck.
