That’s great, Kid. We had a great opening day with my dad, son, and myself knocking down a mature buck each. Glad you and your family did the same. We need pics, man. Many hunters come to Kansas to hunt big bucks, but my dreams are haunted by big Oklahoma bucks that got away when I lived and hunted there.

OUTSTANDING, Congrats to you and the Family. What a Great story. There is nothing better than hunting with Family. Three Nice Bucks for you, your little Deer slayer and the wife. Well, it just doesn't get any better than that.
Great pictures. The one with your boy and his first Buck is priceless. That Big smile says it all.
They only get to shoot their first one once. That is an experience and memories of a lifetime for the both of you. Good Job Dad.

Most excellent Kid! What a great story you've told. Congratulations to your son for his first buck which was a very nice one. Congratulations to you for being a great father and your fantastic buck. Congratulations to your wife for the absolutely awesome buck she took!

Interesting development, and no I didn’t take pics as it was dark and cold and I’d been at work for 13 hours prior.
Getting my wife’s buck skinned and quartered the other night and I got to looking. A neighbor who hunts a couple miles away said he’d had that buck on his cameras for several years and a friend he let hunt had shot him in the shoulder with his bow and got no penetration and obviously didn’t recover him.
He had at one time broken his left front leg down right below the knee and it had grown back a little off kilter with a knot about like a 20ga shell of bone down the side where the break had knit back. He had a rib about halfway down the right side that had been broken and grown back at an angle fusing to the adjacent rib as well as the original break. And he had a big white gristle, for lack of a better term on the top rear of his right shoulder blade. Completely healed and no infection or anything so obviously old. Above and behind the shoulder growth the spinal process had been broken off and grew/fused back at approximately a 75 degree angle leaning to the side and rearward. His backstrap made a turn and went around this big bone growth.
The shoulder and back injury seems consistent with the neighbor’s story.
Pretty amazing what they can endure sometimes and further reason why I cringe sometimes when I read of guys “mercy killing” a deer with a broken leg.

Many hunters come to Kansas to hunt big bucks, but my dreams are haunted by big Oklahoma bucks that got away when I lived and hunted there. I’ll send you some pics of you want to post them. I do t have an account to use and I don’t have the patience set one up.
