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. ![[Linked Image]](http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr282/deerhunter5555/2012-11-17_08-55-45_296.jpg)

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.
