Title: Deer camp - huge success with the boys (pics)
Post by: Ranger B on October 12, 2011, 02:32:00 PM

Camped with the boys Monday - Wednesday.  I got two does with Cherubim, the winged elm selfbow I just finished.  The first doe was 110# and the second was 103#.  The boys tracked both of them and did a fantastic job.  What a great memory making time.  Here are lots of pics.

Thanks guys. It was a great experience for all.  The boys really got a cool biology lesson as we field dressed.  They really enjoyed seeing the organs in an animal that large.

That 2nd pic from the top in your opening post looked like a passle of mischief right there!

What a cool thing to do with kids that age and get them started on the right track the right way!

Very cool!
