Bailee's First Deer Hunt


When I became a father, one of the things that re-invigorated my love of hunting was the promise of taking my kids afield. I've been toting them along on more social pursuits like dove hunting. However, I had to wait until my oldest child, Bailee, was mature enough to handle the rigors of sitting still and being quite for a couple of hours.

In Northwest Texas where I hunt, elevated blinds are the norm and are the best friend of any mom or dad wanting to take their kid deer hunting. Quite, comfortable, and warm, the blind I have works great for containing the sound of Bailee asking, "When we gonna see a de-ur?" in her distinctive Texas drawl for the tenth time.

When she was five, I felt like she was ready to take afield and if you click the LINK, you can read the story of her first deer hunt told in her own words.

As this season progresses, I'll be sure to keep you filled in on Bailee's successes as she goes on her first quest for her own whitetail.
