To some this is just a little ol doe. To me this deer means more than any I’ve ever shot. A year ago today my dad took his last deer. This morning I took this doe with his old rifle, that he carried from about 1982 until about 6 years ago when my brother, sister and I chipped in and bought him a new rifle. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/851j2V5p/38359-C3-E-FA81-463-B-B294-DE5-BCBA0-CC43.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/g0bwKhb6/B8554-E23-98-D1-400-F-B543-C870392-FC2-D3.jpg)

Heartwarming! I hope that my grandchildren feel that way about all the rifles that I have passed down.

Merry Christmas!

My best hunts were not my biggest deer . My 1st deer with a bow , a doe just like yours, on the last weekend way back on National Forest land. That was a trophy to me, and you have a trophy too.

Make sure you have real safe place to keep that old gun. All of my dads were stolen years ago.
