High fives! Well done!
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Looks like you’ve got a lifelong hunting partner there.
:fire.:

" 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

Thank you all for the kind comments. One of my older children has gotten a few deer, but this kid definitely seems more committed than the other two, so I think I've got a consistent hunting partner here.
Everyone lives off the land.  Some of us simply have more fun doing it.

It doesn't get any better than that.

That is a memory that will be cherished forever.

Congratulations, job well done.
It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...
