![]() Deer Hunting
To be fair, it's tough to hunt deer with a video camera whirring in the background. We got pretty close a couple of years ago, you can hear the doe coming in-the buck wasn't far behind. A second after the camera goes on, the deer take off. This year, we get into the woods optimistic. Quinn goes up in the tree stand-I have a bum leg, so I can't do too much this year. A couple of hours later and Quinn sees a doe take off and he gets a clear shot. I don't. "Did you get him dad? "I never had a real good shot at it." We know Quinn had a shot. "You got him good." "I lost it down in the hollow." For the first time, Quinn and I were on the trail of a deer he shot. I was proud and Quinn was hopeful. We find the doe. "All right, you first one, man." It wasn't a trophy buck, but it was a successful day in the woods and that's enough to keep my son interested in coming back with me next year. A family tradition continues. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry. Be safe this year and Happy Thanksgiving.
