Timm & Lauren Getts - Lauren Goes On Her First Hunt

Timm Getts and his 6 year old daughter Lauren arrived mid day. First thing, we set up Timm's Double Bull Matrix on a travel route. Nearby, I noticed a fresh scrape and set up a Reconyx infra red game camera to watch it. Then we got ready to hunt. They hunted at the Hammer Hole in my Double Bull ground blind there. A black wild hog walked behind the blind. Lauren was anxious to see deer and they saw 15 on the way back to the house.

At my Secret Stand I saw a total bomber with a high, heavy, wide, light colored antlers with a big body -- walking with a doe. They got close enough ... but shooting light fell off the chart and I couldn't shoot.

Second Day - Early the next morning Laruen was ready to go and her and Timm joined me for the traditional bowhunter's breakfast of pop tarts, oatmeal and coffee. But Lauren had the 6 year old version; cherios, pop tarts and orange juice.

Lauren was anxious to go and the two got in their ground blind well before daylight. Lauren dozed a little and Timm nudged her awake when daylight lit up the area. The were hunting a well traveled funnel. A little before 8:00 Timm saw two deer step into the funnel 40 yards to the left of the blind. 

Timm whispered to Lauren that he saw deer. She stood up her tallest and looked through the mesh of the Matrix's window. Surprise, a big bus doe that they had not seen yet steeped into view .. 5 yards from the blind.

Timm drew and aimed. The hit was perfect and the doe jumped a few bounds ahead and disappeared behind a nearby tree. Timm heard it fall right away.

Lauren looked at him, "That was awesome daddy." 

They waited half an hour and eased out and went to Timm's SUV and came to get me. 

I turned my new video camera on and we recovered the doe. Here is the video, just like it happened. VIDEO...

When we stepped into the narrow funnel Timm started to look for his arrow. But something caught his eye and he looked its way. The doe was laying about 20 yards away. Timm pointed it out to us and asked Lauren if she wanted to go to it. As I said, we have it all on video.

Here is Timm Getts and the mature doe taken on his 6 year old daughter's first time to go the deer woods. Timm and Lauren were very excited in the deer woods this morning. And I gotta tell you that I was pretty glowed up myself.

For the afternoon hunt Timm and Lauren returned to the Hammer Hole. They saw deer on the way out and on the way back, but not while hunting.

I saw a group of 3 does and a single doe.
