The Apprentice Scores
Took my youngest son out for his fourth hunt of this season. At age 12 he started scrimping and saving and 2 years later bought himself a used exocet off the classifieds in another forum. This is his last year as an apprentice. Next year he will have his own tags.
We got to the farm about 1:45pm and because the leaves are all still wet we decided to try a walk and stalk in the open hardwoods on the north side of the property. As we slowly made our way through the woods we found a scrape line around 3:30pm with 6 fresh scrapes and decided to hang out SE of the line as the wind was blowing from the NW.
We sat on the ground behind a massive downed beech tree that was the perfect height for a crossbow rest. At 4:07pm this nice doe came in and started checking out the scrapes. At 4:10 she presented a nice broadside shot at one of the scrapes about 25 yards upwind. My son took the shot and she did a nice donkey kick ran 55 yards and toppled in sight. We waited 20 minutes and this is what we found:
Home with the field dressed deer by 6:00 pm. 2 of 3 tags are now filled - one left to go but it will be kept until the end unless something irresistible presents.

Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
