[QUOTE="imhntn, post: 1958076, member: 3755"] Both my brother's other 2 daughters got bucks tonight. I had the baby with me. She is 8. We hunted yesterday morning and evening and never saw a deer. Went to the OSU Homecoming Parade this morning and didn't hunt. I spent several hours setting up my Ameristep blind and getting it brushed in as best I could with cedar limbs and then went and got her at 4. I spooked 2 does off the feeder when I set the blind up and Kelly and I spooked a buck along the creek walking in. We had a bobcat come by about 70 yrds and squeaked it up to about 20. She thought that was cool. Finally about 6:25 I looked out and saw antlers moving behind some brush. Kelly was on the ground playing solitaire on my phone and I told her there was a buck and to move quiet. The buck came to the feeder but did not like the blind and turned and went back into the brush. He came back and quickly left again and I was trying to find her a spot to shoot in an opening in the brush when a couple does walked in and he came in right behind them. I had her in my lap by then and the rifle out the window and she was lining up on the buck when the two does looked at the blind and bolted. The buck got nervous and took a couple steps to leave but stopped for one last look toward the blind and she shot. He did a big donkey kick and I was sure I could see blood on his side.
