The weather report didn’t look so good  for sitting Saturday morning(10 degrees) so Matt and I decided to head down to Marshall again and stalk some corn. Only this time we were taking a kid, Well kind of..Corey is 17 years old and has shot 2 deer before but has never shot a Muzzleloader let alone went hunting with one.

The day started out at my place with Corey shooting my Uncles gun to make sure he was comfortable shooting it. After his first shot was a bullseye I figured he was good to go! We also brought video camera’s along to film his first hunt hoping to get a kill on film. My 11 year old son also tagged along to film me while Matt went with Corey to film. After about 15 minutes of walking the corn Matt radioed me to let me know they were on a deer. Seconds later the shot rang out and Corey’s first deer of the year and first deer with a Muzzleloader was on the ground. I met up with them and there were high fives everywhere!

Even though it was button buck the look on his face screamed of monster buck it was priceless! We got most of the hunt on film but my nice camera decided it didn’t like the cold weather and messed up and didn’t record some of our hunt(figures!). Being that we had just started we decided to walk the rest of the corn through. Which payed off cause I ended up filling my 4th doe tag of the year!

As of right now my freezer is pretty full. But with one more week-end left of ML season you can bet I’ll be out looking for a buck come this Saturday.

If you ever get a chance do yourself a favor and take a kid out hunting it’s well worth it!
