I am new to posting on the forum but have been anonymously enjoying the site for several years. If you are a father or a son I think this post will get a reaction out of you. In some short years past a vendor was in my office telling me about the greatest hunt of his life. Always being eager to hear about a client or vendors great experiance is one of the few joys of the job this time of year. I was all ears. He said that he had taken his young son (6 or 8 years of age) out for an evening hunt. Blind time was nothing new for this pair. The young man had been his faithful hunting partner for several years now. He said they sat in silence for an endless amount of time and just before last light. His son said that there was a deer approaching them from the opposite side of the blind. Sure enough momments later the deer came into view and bam! The father hit it right through the boiler room. He then tells me that it was a small six point and its the greatest trophy he'll ever own. Thinking to myself "I know this guy is an avid hunter. Seems a low bar to set." Of course I complimented his accomplishment, not wanting to be a deer snob. The vendor then asked me if I knew why this trophy was so special to him. I said no. Please fill me in. He said my son is blind. He has been since birth. Along with the love for his son he had never felt the presence god more than at that moment.

Great read, thanks for posting. It show that there is more to hunting than just killing an animal.
