Adventure: Short Stand, Tall Tines

A morning sit in an unlikely deer stand during the Oklahoma rut turns into a father-daughter hunt of a lifetime. Author Mark Chesnut and his daughter have hunted together for more than a decade, but their most memorable hunt came when Rachel was 11 years old. A dream buck can appear at any moment during the rut.
