great Story... My ol' man is my 1st and best hunting partner too.. The one and only hunting partner most of us can always count on is our Dads.. Great Goat and story, I bet your dad was a proud man..
my dad put my brother and I in for OIL tags since we were 8,9 years old too, we got a pile of points built up for OIL tags and I cant thank my dad enough for doing that...
