My son and I killed two

[:D]
Daylight savings went away to day so we had to get up early, and
leave at 4:00.
Across the river to Iliad, Flat creek lake. Of course We were
the only ones there at that time of day. We headed north in the
dark along the boundary fence. One coulee, then another, and
then another, and finally the last one. Still before shooting
hours we started to spot. Yup a nice deer on the hill side, we
maneuvered in to a good shooting position still kind of dark. A
quick range and we are sitting at 189 yards waiting for shooting
time. My boy and I talked over the shot, the wind straight
sideways was pushing 40 mph. I waited for him to turn so the
wind was going from his but to head and he was broad side. I
have the 243 sighted in to 200 yards dead zero. So no adjustment
there. But the wind, humm, I figured the bullet drift would be a
lot. I aimed mid way almost center deer, and sent one . DEAD
center shoulder the deer fell over in it's tracks and rolled
down the hill dead . The wind was so bad the other does with him
didn't hear or see anything, just there buck dropped dead. They
wandered off and we went and looked at him. My son suspected
more deer so he went over the ridge we where on ,yes more on the
other side. I stayed on top to watch and he went off on a hunt.
there was two bucks and several does. One was a TALL 3 and the
other was a fat pig that had 4 on one side and 3 on the other,
but not a bad deer. As I watched, he snuck to 239 yards of the
better buck. He had his 6.5 Swede , he looked back to see if I
was in a position to watch, I was. He let one go. As I'm
watching the front leg flings out, then the other front leg
flies out from under the deer. Then I herd the "Whack" then the
report. Deer down, but he had his head still up... A shot or two
went off but in the wind he could not connect with the head/
neck. He worked a little closer and a final shot and his head
went down. There at 7:30 we where done.! He worked on his deer
and I went back to the truck for the cart. We had two, by the
way, the big one and one I wanted to try . I made a 4 wheel
bread /deer cart and hoped it would work. With the two I head
back . I ran in to my boy about a third of the way . He went
back to the truck and dropped off his stuff and came back out.
Each deer where in different drainages , I dropped off the big
cart on a dike and I went up to get mine. Loaded him on strapped
him on and back out. My boy picked up the other cart and went up
and got his, we met back up at the dike and walked out together.
9:30 and they are in the truck. There a very nice father, son
hunt, SO COOL! Not the biggest deer but a GREAT hunt, I'll keep
this one filed in the head for a long time.
