My 8 yo daughter and I got up at literally the crack of dawn when it was 40 degrees outside (I know, not that cold to you Northerners, but it still made it hard to get out of our warm sleeping bags) to go to the farthest bird blind at dawn. The 1 mile (or so) walk there and back was better than the time at the blind. We saw about 30 axis deer and probably 10 whitetail, 6 cottontail bunnies (I was surprised we didn't see any jackrabbits. They were all over the previous evening.) and several birds I hadn't seen until that morning.
