In between doing almost all his daddy's chores the boy got his first deer today. He came in all quiet and asked me to put his 20-gauge away for him and get the camera as he got a little bitty spike buck. Completely deadpan. I did as he suggested and went outside and there in the tractor bucket was this huge thing with the biggest antlers I have ever seen outside pictures from out west. It was only an 8-point, but a big, big deer. Nicest one we ever got here on the farm for sure.
So he is happy tonight.....and tomorrow we are cutting up venison I guess. I would post pictures, but they are pretty gory for polite company.

ReplyDeleteYes! This is the post I've been hoping to see. You and your family deserved a bit of luck and fortune sometime during this difficult year.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations deerhunter!
ReplyDeleteOnly an 8 point? Wow!
That would be a huge rack down here.
Tell the young man CONGRATS!!!!!! He must have been pretty excited. I can't wait to see some pics. :D
ReplyDeletePOST THE PICTURES, POST THE PICTURES!!!!! Come on!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd in case you think I've lost my marbles, we used to hunt deer for food (hunting season or not) and burn wood for fuel when I lived in the wild green hills of the Southern Tier.
