First hunting experience

Today I finally had a change to go hunting. The plan was to go waiting in a tree stand and preferably meet roe deer, fox or raccoon dog. I took Ruudi with me to introduce tree stand to him and explain that he has to be SILENT in it - but nooooo.... if a raven passes by, he has to bark! Luckily I was able to shut him down by sayng that "Good, Ruudi, I noticed it, but now we have to be silent. OK?" And he somehow understood me and went to sleep. It is BOOOORING to wait in a treestant.

But Ruudi only had less than an hour to sleep until one roe deer came with one youngster. Usually roe deer has two childs but that one had lost one already. And when I started moving and aiming and my pulse was 200 - Ruudi has to bark!!?? Damn that dog! "Good Ruudi, be silent now" And the old roe deer looked at my direction and I was sure the next minit she is running but.... luckily she cooled down. At last I was able to make my shot and hit the young. I went down and let Ruudi to run forward to the killed animal and Ruudi almost missed it but still, a meter far from the prey he suddenly smelled it (surprise!). And then he acted like it was him who shot the deer :)

Back at home of course we had to skin and cut the animal. Ruudi got a piece of liver and the whole heart but that was already enough for him because he was "helping" me in the whole proccess and you cannot say to a cook or chef that you cannot eat that you are doing.

So Ruudi looked like coming from a war. We had to go to sauna with him. And there is nothing better than evening sleep after a hard day out.
