You've been deer hunting for 20 years. Your first priority is to feed your family. You took your young son on a hunt so you can pass along your passion to him. You parked your truck and began to walk, because that's how hunting is done, not from the window of a car. You knew where to look, because after 20 years, that kind of thing becomes second nature. You spotted a deer, and instead of blasting away at him out of range, you calmly worked your way into position to make a shot that you were comfortable with. You killed him quickly and cleanly, took care of the meat and the trophy, and honored the animal by showing him to all of us on this site.
That's the story. That's what your son will remember.
Nicely done. Well deserved. :tup:

Thanks for putting it in perspective. That's pretty much how it happened, and hopefully how my son will remember it too!

Agreed! Well deserved and good for you! I have some crystal clear memories of moments on hunts with my dad and we never once killed a deer! Your son will not forget. Post up the mount when you get him back if you can remember, its a beautiful buck.

Double awesome you got him with your young son. I remember the first time I saw my dad shoot a deer. It was a spike, but still made a big impression on me. We were still hunting in and alder patch and he jumped up about 30 yards from us and stared us down til dad decided he was a buck and pulled the trigger of his old model 94 25-35. I was so excited I ran up to the deer who had thrown his head back into the leaves. I hollered at dad "It's a doe!" He about had a heart attack until he came over and turned its head revealing the spikes.
