Being persistent for years pays offs

I have been very fortunate to have taken these nice deer in the last 3 years. I passed up lots of other bucks to get these.

Great job, don't every lose that smile, that shows what it is all about, the minute I don't have a look like that on my face after success is the minute I quit hunting.

Looks like you have a new lucky hat, 2013 was a banner year with that hat.

Good job, keep it up and look back at these photos on the years that you don't fill a tag and get back at it the next year.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Nice bucks!  I'm guessing you've got a dad or family member with an even bigger smile behind the camera :tup:
