That is a great story, congrats to the hunter and her guides on finding a way to make it happen.

WOW, Congrats to yo and all your friends and family.  Great story, well deserved buck.  Your hard work paid off!!!!!  I think there is nothing cooler than hunting with family!  I wish my wife & kids would be in to it as you are!! 

Yes, we are very fortunate to have wives that love to hunt. Last spring my son Wyatte went with me on a bear hunt. When I killed a nice 6'3" bear he is jacked. I broke down crying like a big baby..... just because we were able to experience this together. It was just him and I in the middle of no where. Heck...some of my favorite memories are throwing him on the front of my motorbike to ride in hairy trails for a couple of scouting trips. I have several friends that wont even ride the trails he has been up (7 now). Nothing  is more exciting than to see woman and children getting into hunting. Derek's daughter Grace took her first buck at age 8 this year. And she took a turkey earlier in the season.

Jason, the other day I was over at Derek's house talking hunting....we look over and there is Grace and my 9 year old Tyler talking hunting...it was absolutely the funniest thing I had ever seen! They were sharing stories and were really into it! Love the way you all start them young! You guys are something else!
