Jessica and I went up to manistee for the youth hunt on an invite from a friend, we were hunting over a food plot out of a new box blind , sat. mourning saw 3 does but no shots so out we go for the evening hunt around 5:00 and get in the blind ,around 6:30 (she is snoozing ):pwhen out walks this nice little 3 point buck, i woke her up and and got the gun into the window for her and she redied for the shot.The deer was munching on a couple of apples we had put down on the edge of the plot and was facing us so we got to watch him for 10 or 15 minutes (seemed like an eternity!) finnaly it turned broad side and i gave her the go ahead to shoot and pow!! he ran only 50 yrds into the woods and crashed wohoo!! we got out of the blind and she insisted on tracking it her self so i stepped back and let her,she found it in short order as it was double lunged with her grandmas 30-30 rifle at 95 yrds! Wow what a rush to watch her get her first deer, we prayed a thanks giving prayer over the deer and then we draged it out of the woods and up to the cabin. Here are some pics.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD CANNON MAG 10S I JUST GOT A SET AND I LOVE EM THEY ARE FAST AND THE AUTO STOPS WORK VERY WELL WITH NOTHING ON THE CABLE . i HAD BIG JONS BEFORE AND THEY ARE JUST FINE BUT THE AUTO STOPS NEED A BEAD ON THE CABLE WITH A CRIMP AND THAT JUST INVITES A SNAPED CABLE . JUST MY 2 CENTS

WENT TO 190 FOW SET LINES AND TROLLED OUT TO 245 WITHOUT A HIT:confused: GOT A TIP FROM A GUY TO GO NORTH AND HIT A SCUM LINE IN 238 ,HEADED THAT WAY AND HOOKED TWO FISH BUT LOST THEM ON 300 COPPER WITH GREEN SPINIE WITH A PICKLE SUNSHINE FLIE THEY WERE LAKERS I THINK. GOT TO THE SCUM LINE BUT COULD NOT GET ANYTHING THERE EITHER SO WE TURNED IT EAST, HIT 185 FOW AND STARTED TO MARK BAIT AND BANG HIT TWO SMALL KINGS 5 AND 8 LBS ON FREE SLIDER WITH A NBK JP SLAMMER ON A RIGGER DOWN 55. THEN PULLED LINES AND FOUND A SMALL HITCH HIKER KING ON A 3 COLOR OF LEAD SO WE ENDED UP 3 FOR 5 ON THE NIGHT. THE TOP WATER WARMED UP 20 DEG UP TO 66 DEG FROM SAT 46 DEG. BUT THE WATER DOWN 50 WAS STILL 48 DEG. IT WAS A BEUTIFUL EVENING TO BE ON THE WATER.
