First Deer Harvest for Chris Cox! My first deer hunt was in early black powder October 2006. It was opening day. My dad and I were really excited because this was my first opportunity to go deer hunting. The conditions weren't right for a morning hunt so we went hunting in the afternoon. It was a great afternoon for hunting. We were hunting in a homemade blind. My brother, my dad and I made the blind in the summer so it could be put up before hunting season. We made the pieces in about a week at home, then we assembled them at the farm. It stands about six feet off the ground on a metal frame. It is really comfortable to hunt in. It has carpeting, a little propane heater and if you're quiet you can move around in it. I sit in it and read a book. The day we went hunting my dad and I got to the farm around two o' clock. We got our gear on and got out our guns, we waited to load them until we got to the blind. We were hunting with T/C encore blackpowders. I was using dads and my dad was using his second one that my brother uses when he hunts. We crept across the field and got into the blind. Around sunset two small deer came out. I waited until it was broad side so I could take a good clean shot. It was about a seventy yard shot. After the smoke cleared I watched the deer run into woods. At that point I looked over at my dad and his big proud smile and he said, "You got 'em buddy". Then I noticed my dad was just as excited as I was as if it was his first deer. It is a time that I will always remember and my dad says he will never forget. Since that day I have harvested three additional deer and each time my dad has had that same proud smile. Also I've developed a love for this sport like my brother and dad. At this point I look forward to scouting for the seasons to come, and spending more time with my brother and dad. |
