The first year my eldest son came hunting with me, was in a cornfield right across the road and up a hill from our house....as a matter of fact there were two hills, each loaded with deer in the morning and then late afternoon.....we sat there the first afternoon, and just observed. My son kept looking over to the other hill, and we began to see shadows moving into the open areas and filling the fields.....my son impatiently said lets go over there....I told him I wasnt moving this late in the afternoon, and there would be some deer on this hill also.......as it got darker, about 6 pickup trucks pulled up, hunters jumping out everywhere, rifles at the ready, and as soon as they hit the baseline of the hill, they opened fire at anything that moved....I had freakin flashbacks and grabbed my son and said lets get out of here tomorrows another day...well as we were leaving our hill, about 8 deer walked right thru the spot we were posting...I grabbed my sons head and spun him around to show him I wasnt kidding, and I promised him by 7:00 a.m the next morning I would shoot a deer....well sure enough, at about 5 to 7 a huge doe started walking into and across the field, I settup for the shot and got her as she came up the hill, followed by another doe, which I promptly took.......my son went wild, two deer in a span of about 10 minutes....he then said, I'm glad we stood over here, because he finally realized theres game everywhere, but if we went across the road, we may not have made it back because of what these idiots were doing so late on the next hill............
