[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1523656, member: 102653"] My dad and I are still making memories, Shane holt. This year, last month in fact, we took a road trip from Arizona to West Virginia to go see my nephew (Dad's grandson) and Dad's great grandchildren. (My nephews kids). I think the main reason we did this was so dad could see the kids, but he also wanted to pass down the rifle that my nephew shot his first elk with. Also, we would be there for thanksgiving. My nephew has deer on his property, and we plan to hunt while we are there. The road trip out was awesome, always wanted to do something like this with Dad. I got to see allot of country I haven't had the chance to see yet, so that was nice. Kind of embarrassing, but we were listening to old country music and bellering the lyrics for a good portion of the way there. 32 hours of driving, you're bound to do anything for entertainment. We arrive to my nephews place and the following day we do some scouting. No need to leave the house, as it turns out. Deer are all over his property. Opening morning I find dad all set up on the back porch of the house. I'm still drinking coffee and I go to the front door to look out the front. I can see deer moving in the woods. I call to my nephew and he joins me out on the front porch where we sit and wait for the deer to come out into clear view. The wait wasn't long, and 7 minutes after season opening, my deer is on the ground. My nephew and I process that deer up while dad continues to hunt the back porch. Then I assist my nephew in spotting his deer. Dad continues to hunt the back porch but isn't finding the buck he is looking for. He hunts up to thanksgiving this way, and on the day after, we load up and head home.Before we left, He passed that rifle on to his grandson. The rifle originally belonged to my dad's grandfather. It was an 03A3 30-06. Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool to shoot deer off the porch in West Virginia. Dad didn't seem to mind not getting a deer. On the way home, all I could think about is all the birds my Dad killed with one stone for making that trip. Probably why he didn't mind getting a deer this year. [/QUOTE]
