John got to Matt's house around 6 a.m. Everyone was dressed and ready to head out. Matt, Sam, and Isaac drove to the public land while John and Hanna walked out to the stand they would use. They got in the stand and situated by 6:45 a.m. No one can shoot until it's light which is around 7:45 a.m. No deer showed up, so by 10 a.m. John and Hanna decided to call it a morning and went back to the house.
Hana ready for action, but there wasn't any.
John ready to shoot with his uncle's old rifleJohn return home around 11 a.m. and reported that Isaac had shot a small buck. From his stand, Sam had seen that buck and a smaller one walking through the woods toward Matt and Isaac. Sam called his Dad on the cell phone and told him to be on the lookout for them. I don't know any other details, except Isaac shot his first deer.

John spent several hours at home before heading back out around 3 p.m. This time he went to a different stand as Sara and the girls went to the "Sniper Shack". He saw a couple of small deer moving through the woods and then come out into a clearing. John debated whether or not to shoot, but decided to go for it and took down the doe.

John got home a little after 8 p.m.--it was a long day of hunting for everyone. Matt, Sam, and Isaac stayed out the entire day and only saw the buck the Isaac shot. Sara and the girls didn't see anything either. They all still have next week to hunt, but we're glad Isaac was successful his first time out.
Nice job shooting BAMBI! Geewiz man up and shoot something that doesn't look like a small dog! I had to enlarge the picture just to make sure you weren't kneeling over a gopher.
