High fives! Well done!

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

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.
