After trying for a while and a couple of misses due to jumpy nerves, my oldest let the air out of his first deer. Man, he's on cloud 9!

That pic is priceless. Great buck too. Congratulations. There has to be a great story behind it. Care to share?

A real hunter never returns empty handed. Spending time in the wilderness temporarily satifies the soul, but leaves us longing for more.

this deer has been a long time coming. He is a good shot, but getting him to settle down and not jerk the gun when he pulls the trigger has been maddening at times. Boxes of bullets at the range, coaching, missed deer, tears, etc. FINALLY he settled down and made the shot. Dropped him in his tracks with a perfect shot. Confidence is restored and he's ready to fill another tag before season ends. I've been watching this particular deer all season. I've watched it during 4 or 5 sits. Not really what I'm looking for, but I'm sure happy for him to take it as his first deer. Here it is checking out a doe right after I shot her at the end of the first week of season. I thought he was going to lay down and try to mount her  he then came within 20 yards of me.

this is the guy I'm hoping slips up for me. This shot was about 300 yards. I could have shot him a dozen times when I took this pic. I just didn't want to take a shot quite that far.

That grin says it all. Congrats to you both. I remember my sons first buck---7 point.
 It's the time spent in God's creation with family and friends making memories that counts.
