PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" was shared with us by proud mom Erika Tallman of her sons Ivan and Chase. Both boys have worked hard, putting in countless hours to learn the ins and outs of hunting! Most of all they hoped to be successful and placed a high importance on being ethical hunters. Ivan, age 8, and his dad, Ian, climbed into a tree stand they had set up a few weeks before the season. It was opening morning of Ivan’s very first Youth Weekend. They settled in before daylight, and about 10 minutes before shooting light they used a grunt tube. As legal shooting time began, blue jays started calling as they flew around the stand. Soon after, Ivan spotted movement and got his dad’s attention. He could see the deer but his dad couldn’t. Ivan was convinced it was a buck. Ian calmly talked him through getting set up for the shot. Ivan fired, and the buck did the mule kick! They climbed down but couldn’t immediately find blood, so they backed out. Later, with his brother, uncle, grandpa, mom, and dad, Ivan returned to track the deer. At first it wasn’t looking promising, but then they found blood and hair. A short distance later they found the buck! As you can imagine there were hugs tears and high fives all around. Later that afternoon, Chase, age 9, headed out for his second sit of his first Youth Weekend. He hunted from his great-uncle’s stand with his Grandpa Chris and Uncle Logan. A doe appeared about 300 yards away, so they used a grunt tube. Moments later, a buck stepped into view. Chris and Logan helped Chase get ready. The buck became nervous and started trotting back toward the edge of the field. Chase struggled to find it in his scope and was getting frustrated. Chris did a buck grunt, stopping the deer just long enough for Chase to settle in and make a perfect, 160-yard shot. The buck ran about 50 yards, went over a small cliff, and expired. It was celebration time again! Wow, congratulations to the boys and entire family for a fantastic youth weekend hunt!
