My son hunted in the stand with me in 1980, his first time out. We saw several does, but Kentucky was “buck only”. We didn’t get to hunt in 1981 due to my job requirements, but went again in 1982. He shot his first buck that year from his own stand with me seated a short distance away. He’s been racking them up ever since. I’m sure he will remember those hunts for as long as he lives, I know I will!


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
