Thank you for all the responses and support.

Can I just say - 3 deer.... that's a LOT of work.  Still not done. All the meat is finally in the freezer, but now I'm working on the euro-mounts for all three.  Hours and hours of work this past week.  Not complaining at all. Just saying.... A blessing. And yes, hard work is a blessing. The work leading up to this over the years and the work putting them in the freezer and beyond. Good times!

As a dad of 2 daughters, I think this is my favorite post of the year.  Now if I could only get mine to hunt w me!  Seriously though, congrats on successful and rewarding season.  And tattoos!

Congrats!  Memories that will last a lifetime!  As the father of three girls that hunt I can say that it is truly a blessing!

Very cool.  Cherish the memories.

Thanks again, ya'll. Nice to write this all out so I don't forget. And glad many appreciate reading a good hunting story as much as I do.

FYI - I've updated the story a bit with more details and clarity now that I've had a little time to process.
