We just got back from Hillsdale to make some final preparations for the upcoming youth hunt. My grandson Quinn Russo is going to get his first deer this year, and his father Tony and I are really excited. Tony set up a ground blind a few weeks ago in a fence row, with a corn field on one side and a bedding area on the other. The deer have been tearing up the farmers cornfield, and about 60 yards down the fence line is a massive scrape. We saw some really impressive tracks, and lots of them, as the deer are cruising the edge of the fields.
The only problem is that we are going to have limited visibility in all directions, as it is a very thick fence row. I have to get Quinn to the shooting range, so he can sight in his little 20 gauge model 870. It was right on last year, but you always have to check to make sure. I will only have Saturday to hunt with him, as Sunday I leave for the bear hunt, so I’m hoping he scores on the twenty second. I’m excited!
Good luck to you Mike and your Grandson. I’ll be out their as well on the 22nd. Hopefully both of us have success stories to share. It’s great having the youngsters out there hunting!!!
