What an amazing morning it was for me and my son. He has been beging me to take him hunting this year so i knew my focus would be on him. We started hunting a little piece of propert after opening day and with much dissappointment with 5 outings and no sign of deer anywhere. He talked me into hunting a piece of property i hunted when i was growing up so i thought what the heck lets give it a whirl. As we left the house this morning, running a little behind, i worried about the fog and was hoping for anything other than an empty morning. As we rolled up to my old hunting spot something just felt right. I didnt want to say anything to him to get him to worked up but when we walked into the ridge to sit on the ground there was a low lying fog between the ridges and cool temps. I just kept telling myself please let us see something. We had been setting there for 30 min. when a doe crossed the top of the ridge heading strait for us. I thought to myself this is gonna be the moment. As i whispered to him she was coming down the hill he started wiggling something awful to get comfortable for a shot. She spotted him in no time and trotted off. The look on my sons face was so disappointing. As i finally got him calmed down we set there and went through the chain of events and learn from his mistakes. It wasnt 5 min. after the doe disappeared a button buck appeared 30 yards in front of us broad side. He drew the bead on his 20 gauge and squeezed the trigger. The deer appeared to be hit but i wasnt sure. No blood. After searching around for a while we found him. We lit the woods up with excitment. The greatest part was he killed his first deer not 20 yards from where i killed my first deer. Sorry for making the story long but i never thought the feeling of my son killing his first deer would be so awesome. Thanks for reading. Attachments:

I just think its all in what you believe in. I smoke. Smoked im my truck all the way to my hunting spot one evening last fall and shot a 9 pointer at 10 yards with my bow. A friend of my had a cigarette in his hand last gun season and noticed a deer coming in. Put it out on a log and shot and the deer ending up net score 157. Long story short, i enjoy the outdoors and unfortunately im a smoker so i just do what i do and dont worry about it.
