Great story.  Thanks for taking the time to post it.  Congratulations on your successful hunt.

Butchering day...

Said none of my kids.

That's actually him cutting up his deer.  Not a lot of story there, so I'm not doing a separate thread. Hunted bucks for a week and a half with no luck.  On the last day of the season we decided to go after a whitetail doe for him to fill his tag.  He made it happen in the last 20 minutes of light on the last day (no pressure, right.. ;) ).  One clean shot at 120 yards, dropped right where she was standing. 
I was afraid that he might be disappointed shooting a doe after last year's double droptine muley, but he wasn't.  He was happy as a clam to not have to eat tag-soup.  :tup:

That's where it's at man. Every kill matters, especially at that age. He'll remember it forever.
