Took the boy out for Indiana Gun...absolutely beautiful weather. My son spotted this buck before I did. I asked him if it was big enough and he said "Of course he is Dad!" That's all I needed to hear. My boy shimmied down the tree without hitting a step and ran over to grab that rack. Couldn't wipe the smile off of his face or mine. I've killed much larger...but few have made me happier.

There are few things in the world like the smile on a kids face when they take their own buck. No bigger blessing than being a dad.

I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

Bet the smile was just as big on the other side of the camera! Congrats!

Absolutely priceless! Congrat's to the young man and a big thanks to pops for providing the opportunity to the young hunter.
Have a good day man. In honor of personal freedom and the open squirrel season, I think I'll go put a hole through dinner's head.
