Title: A walk with Eli
Post by: Shad on September 12, 2010, 09:29:00 PM
This evening I went to pick up my son, Eli, from his grandparents house. It also happens to be the same property that I hunt. Well he wanted to go on a walk down the lane towards the pasture where I usually enter the woods at. So as we get to the pasture area, Eli walks by the woodline and these are a few of the things he told me. I thought I would pass this info along so your deer season will go just as smooth.

1) Deer can't eat acorns unless you pick them all up and pile them on a dead log. Which he made me help him do.
2) you must put sticks on both sides of the acorn pike to keep the squirrels away from them.
3) if you don't see deer then you have to find their house and ring the doorbell to wake them up.
And last..
4) treestands make raccoons mad.

It's amazing what you can learn from a simple walk with a 4 year old  :)

You are a blessed man. Enjoy this time. It goes way too quickly.

My 15 yr old daughter used to go with me alot when she was younger and I miss the conversations we had when it was just us.

She was also 4 when we where squirrel hunting. I had set her across a fence and was climbing over myself. I noticed her bent over and fooling with something on the ground. She was rolling deer dropings around with her finger and asked me what it was. I told her that it was deer poop and said, you didn't touch it did you?
She jumped back real quick and looked at me with her big blue eyes and said, no!

She doesn't go hunting with me any more but we have been having good talks when I take her to practice driving with her learners permit. I know it's not going to happen but I sure wish she was 4 again.
