[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5758716, member: 19427"] Friday night marked the beginning of my favorite week of the year. My Grandfather arrived from Alabama and I drove an hour east of home to get to our Air B&B for the week. Saturday morning arrived with decent weather. I put him in a great spot but he only saw a doe and a fawn. I saw 5 coyotes but could only kill one of them around 9am. At 10 I got bored and tried rattling. Shortly after calling I had a decent deer sneak in from behind me and I shot him left handed at 35 yds.[ATTACH type="full"]202074[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]202073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]202073[/ATTACH] I couldn’t hunt Saturday evening because of a prior commitment and his phone died so he climbed down at prime time because he was afraid he couldn’t call for help. Sunday morning we got settled in and mid morning I heard his gun go off. I couldn’t handle the suspense and climbed down after shooting another coyote. It turns out he missed a big 8 pointer. [ATTACH type="full"]202076[/ATTACH] Sunday evening evening was not great. He saw a nice buck at 200yds and I saw a doe and killed a 3rd yote. [ATTACH type="full"]202077[/ATTACH] Monday morning came and I heard his gun go off twice around 7am. He had shot a small 8pt in the neck and had to put a finishing shot on the deer. Success! [ATTACH type="full"]202078[/ATTACH] Today brought many deer sightings including 4 mature bucks between the hunters at the farm but no shots were fired. At dinner tonight my granddad said he thinks tomorrow morning will be the last time he climbs in a ladder stand. He’s getting too old and said next year he would return to be the camp chef. So tomorrow morning he’s sitting in a stand that had a very big deer in front of it this morning. I plan to hunt just a short distance away but will be out of the action. I just want to be close enough to hear his gun go boom for the last time. So, if you don’t mind, wish my Grandpa, Jack good luck tomorrow morning! Current kill tally: - 3 yotes - 2 bucks - a bottle of bourbon - a pot of chili More tomorrow… [/QUOTE]
