I like those bucks! I know your dad will score

That 4th buck is a dandy. I agree that at this point they are all done growing.

That's a great thing you're doing for him.  My dad started me hunting and was my hunting partner for 20+ years.  I wish I could have done something like that for him but he died before I got a chance.  Our last hunt together I got a cow and barely legal mulie with my bow in the same day.  He must have known he wasn't going to be hunting any more because he paid to have the buck mounted for me as a gift and I display it proudly on the wall always remembering him when I look at it.  Not a trophy to a lot of people, but it means the world to me.

I do lose track of time, don't I.  Hell, they'll be rubbin that velvet off in a few weeks!

8 more days on my calendar till the majority of them start rubbing. Most of them should be clean by 9/10

Absolutely awesome post, I hunted with my dad for years and then left with the military and didn't hunt with him again.  He passed away and I only think of missed opportunities.  Now as I start my son into his first years of hunting I can only hope that he and I developed the bond that some of you have mentioned and that you have.  Just wanted to say "Good Luck" have fun and cherish the memories.

Only advice I can share came from my experience with a guide a couple years ago in Wyoming. 
He will take you to what you want and he will tell you what you want to hear.  Make sure he doesn't talk you into what you don't want.  Pathfinder101 is dead on with his advice!!!!
