This is a proud dad talking here. http://www.iowawhitetail.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif CamoKid shot his first bow deer tonight - and his first buck. I would let him do the post, but he was exhausted, and just went to bed. He can fill you in on the important details later.
We went out tonight to a different area than we had been hunting, and decided to ground hunt. I showed the 'Kid where I had hunted the other night, and settled him into a set of 3 trees that had great concealment and shooting room. I went to the other side of the field and settled in.
I only saw 6 turkeys and no deer, until just before dark. I looked out in the field, and saw a buck trotting my way. I got the binoculars up and noticed that there was an arrow poking out of the ribcage (IW arrow wraps really show up well). The buck trotted by at about 60 yards and entered the timber. I scooted across the field and met Taylor coming my way. He said he had seen some does and yearlings and was waiting on them when this buck showed up from his right. The 8-pointer was 15 yards out in the picked cornfield and gave him a standing broadside shot. The Lumenok really lit up nicely, and Taylor said he knew it was a solid hit. I felt the arrow penetration wasn't real deep, so we cleared out for about an hour. When we came back, we easily found the blood trail at the edge of the timber. 200 yards later, it was party time !
I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. My boy was so calm and collected, but the excitement keeps coming out in bits and pieces. You all know by now how much I love my kids, and how proud I am of them. I am just too lucky !!! And it keeps getting better . . . we leave Sunday for a hog hunt with my 2 boys and my pastor who is a close friend. What a week !!!

That is awesome - way to go Camokid. Harvest reports are great, a kids first deer, with his dad, are the absolute best! Great photo - all it needs is a frame.

This is CamoKid, just wanted to fill a few of you in on the small details. I hadn't been seeing much but turkeys when a fair-sized doe walked out on my left. I watched her for a couple of minutes and then took a peek on my right. Standing 10 and 15 yards away were 2 fawns and a doe. I looked a little bit farther right and there was a nice litttle buck. At the time it was just getting dark, so I thought he was a six-pointer, yet still a shooter. I got the shot off at fifteen yards. (By the way those Lumenoks work great! http://www.iowawhitetail.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) I met CamoDad out in the middle of the field, and when we came back, we found him dead in the timber. Anyway, that's all for now, thought I should keep you updated. Happy hunting!!!
sounds like a great hunt camokid! excellent job! http://www.iowawhitetail.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/peace.gif
Way to shoot straight Camokid. Now get out there and get yourself some baldys too. Congrats!! http://www.iowawhitetail.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
