Son's 1st deer
« on: October 11, 2008, 07:59:24 PM »
Well it finally came together this morning. After a couple years of trying with a bow we decided to go with a rifle this year and it worked out. I first have to say thanks to my friend coonhound who played a big part in my sons hunt ( he doesn't think so but he really did! ) thanks coon! well we started like everyone else got to the gate 45mins before light and started hiking got to a clear cut at first light we sat for an hour or so didn't see anything so we moved to another cut no sooner did we sit down and I look about a hundred yards into the cut and see a doe I quickly grab my bino's and see a couple more does and the last deer I see is a spike. I asked him if he wanted to take him and BOOM.. it's my sons first deer and I've been on cloud 9 all day! PRICELESS

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I prefer that about 1,000,000x to some "trophy hunter" killing one!

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Congrats on your son's first deer, that one will stay with him forever.  So who was more excited you or him??  :chuckle:

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

 :chuckle:  I'm still smiling the day after...it was pretty cool after the shot sitting on that hill hearing him play it back. just a little more bragging from a proud dad. he's a 4.0 honor student, class president, football and basketball athlete and just a great young man. how i got so lucky????? :chuckle: :chuckle:OK enough...lol
