Jesse's Deer

I took Jesse on his first hunt Friday afternoon.  We set the blind up in an Alfalfa field where Sam shot his deer on Monday.  With 10 minutes left before dark two deer came out ten yards from us.  I stopped the lead deer at 20 yards and Jesse shot it, dropping it there.  The other one ran out into the field and stopped turning to look at us at 60 yards.  While celebrating and high fiving we remembered that their youth permits allow a second bonus tag for an antlerless whitetail.  So Jesse then shot the second one as well.    So on his very first deer hunt Jesse took two.   He thinks this hunting thing is easy.IMG_0510_edited-1

Jesse, you now have bragging rights for the rest of your life. Not many people can say they got 2 deer in one day, let alone the first day they went out.
