That is something spectacular right there! Always enjoy your threads with your boys. Well written and always a good story.

Great hunt and great write up!  Lucky as teacher to be able to get time off this time of year. I taught for a couple years and hated having only the weekends off during hunting season.

Gentlemen, Thanks for all the kind comments.  Working on a thread right now about my son's WA mule deer.  I'll link it here when I post it. :tup:
