Oak Ridge Whitetail Adventure

What a great hunt we had this week at ORWA. We had a father and son come in search of the sons “first deer”. The weather in NE Ohio was very typical for this time of year and when they arrived it was cold and rainy with just enough ice mixed in to make you wonder what the morning would bring. The trip out to the stand was very unexpected as the moon lit our path and we had no need to ever turn on our lights! There was a heavy frost and the sunrise completed a great setting for our first morning on stand. With the bucks on the move looking for does our chilly wait was rewarded when a beautiful nine point came in with his head down. The young hunter (10 years old) made a perfect shot. While the buck won’t make any of the “record books” I know that it is truly a trophy buck in his eyes and an experience that will never be forgotten. What a great time to be able to share this moment with both of them. To witness the excitement of a “first deer” and to see the pride that Dad has in passing on the torch. Thanks guys for a great hunt!
