Hi John,
We are looking forward to next year. We saw some real nice bucks and I think next year could be better than anything we have seen. Thanks again for all of the hard work and happy holidays to everyone. Kevin Read some more about Kevin, his son Ian out deer hunting, Ian's granddad on a spring turkey hunt and cousin Bob on his deer hunt all hailing from Vermont and enjoying some adventure in their lives. |

I am
finally getting around to sending you some pictures of our [location deleted]
deer hunt. We were hunting one of the point restricted counties and I am seeing
real results from that program in its second year. I had some apprehension about
hunting with Ian, who is now 9 years old in a point restricted area. In 4 days
of hunting we saw 6 buck and all of them had 8 points or more except for one 6
pointer. We also had a very relaxing hunt with no trespassing which pleased me
greatly. I shot a three year old 8 pointer at 11:00 on the first day. We watched
the buck come out of some standing corn and bed down at 10:00. For an hour I
watched the bucks rack and tried to get Ian to see him but he just couldn’t pick
it out 150 yards away. When he stood up I could see the middle of his neck
through a hole in the trees and brush and was able to get a bullet in him. It
took us a while to find him because he was much further away than I thought, but
Ian found him right in his bed.
Ian
had some close calls over the next couple of days and finally connected at 10:00
on Tuesday in a cold rain storm. We went and got help to drag out his 8 pointer
and by the time we returned the ground was white with snow.
