I was born with hunting in my soul. My dad is a non-hunter. He never took me hunting and hates it. I knew nothing about how to hunt, but when my son was born four years ago, I decided to learn. I started going to WMAs and have gotten absolutely addicted to hunting over the last 3 years. This year I leased a tract to try to cultivate a good spot to take my kids some day. It has turned out to not have many deer, but I am hoping to grow it with good management and trigger restraint. I have told my little boy who is now 4 that I will take him when he is ready. All season he has not seemed excited about going. But, now he is itching to go. He asked me to go this weekend. I told him that it was too cold. He immediately told me that deer move more in the cold. He has been listening. I can't believe he has waited until the rut to decide to go. I am sure that he will make enough noise to run off every deer in the county. The only shooting house that I have that has windows is on a field that has almost no deer activity. But, we are going to sit in it on Saturday evening with a Mr. Buddy heater. Even though prospects are low, I am super pumped for this hunt. In the unlikely event that we see a deer, I can't decide if I should abandon my management strategy and shoot a non shooter. What do y'all think?
