Title: Alex's 2008 buck
Post by: Lowedog on October 24, 2008, 07:25:53 AM: I have taken my nephew Alex hunting the last 3 years now and he is 3 for 3 on deer now. Pretty good start for kid that's only 14 now!

Believe me, he was happy as hell! He's 14 though and would not smile for me for the picture. :dunno: I guess that is his "I just killed a buck" scowl. :chuckle:

I can't get the grin off my face for a couple days. Every successful photo I have over the last 30 years has me with that same sheet eating grin!

A buck like that would have been excellent for my son - he ate tag soup this season. :(

Still, we had a blast - and he got to see the old man with another buck...
