[QUOTE="Rackseeker, post: 5820648, member: 1568"] I still remember the hunt like it was last year but it was over 40 yrs ago. I still hunt the same tract of land today. My Dad always let me stay out of school the Friday before the youth hunt and we would camp. That year a family friend and his son went with us. Dad and I went up the weekend before and scouted. I remember he made me build my own stand to hunt out of. He even let me pick the spot. The other spot we had picked out had a big rock to hunt off of. I built a platform between 2 small poplar trees about 15' off the ground. Back then it was always kinda cold the first week of November or seemed that way because we didn't have good clothes back then. Camo for kids didn't exist but I had some because my mom made me a set out of Camo material we purchased at a fabric store. Well that morning the kid and his dad shot around 7:30. I just knew he killed the buck that was making all the sign that was in there. About 8:30 I was about froze, my Dad was on the ground about 50 yards behind me in a tree top wrapped up in an old wool army blanket. I know he was watching me shiver and shake. He motioned for me to stay alittle longer. Then I heard a deer runnning and the 10pt came by chasing a doe and stopped down in the hollow below me about 50 yds. The ole 30/30 with a hollow point done the trick on him. We got back to camp and (Jimmy)the other kid got a nice 7pt. Hunting was a lot different back in those days.
