A neighbor's military son is home on leave and is scheduled to do a second tour in Afghanistan. His folks threw a party for him and while there I got a chance to visit with him. He was doing some bow hunting on public land and got bumped by other hunters a few times. I told him he could hunt on my place and he lowered his head and got silent for a few seconds, raised his head with tears in his eyes, thanked me and asked if his sister could hunt, too. I told him, sure and said I was going home to do chores and for them to meet me at 430 pm and I will show them a couple of tree stand setups.

When they got to the farm I showed them a pic of a buck that hangs out in the vicinity.


He called me every night to let me know what if anything transpired. They were both seeing shooters but no shot opportunities. On November 11th they both killed bucks but did not get the one on the trail cam.

Wow, very nice!!!

Oh wow, that’s the buck of dreams... good on ya man for allowing that to happen.

That was nice of you to help that young serviceman. They both got nice bucks especially his.

That young man and his sister won't soon forget your generosity. Good on you sir.

Buck of a lifetime. Many thanks to you for allowing that to happen!

Some good memories for those two hunters, nice bucks!

That is pure awesome in so many ways partner!

Kudos to you . Great bucks.

Fantastic, good on ya!!

That’s fantastic!!!

It couldn't have happened on a better day. I love it when a plan comes together.

Round Oak I do not know you but that was the classiest gesture I have seen in a long while.

Great job man....

Doesn't get any better....

Thank you Roundoak.

Very classy.

No big deal, no hesitation and I think most people on the fire would do the same thing as this site places a high regard for our veterans and servicemen and women.

Way to go bowhunters and Mr. Roundoak. A very good gesture which I’m sure was most appreciated. Sometimes memories like that are what gets one through a deployment.

Yesterday must have been a good day up north. My buddy from pa got a 20”, 200lb dressed buck his bow as well.

I can’t wait until it cools down here this weekend and when I travel north for the Pa firearms opener. 👍

I salute the young man AND you R O. Fantastic ! ! !
Yes they are Great Bucks and they have seed running around to replace them.

I wish I had her HAIR ! She looks better in it that I would but I'd still like to have that insulation.!


Jerry

You sir, are awesome.

Wow what a great set of bucks. Congrats to all of you. I can't wait to come back next week and see the deer your crew got.

Tom

Nobody ever gets the deer on the fugkin' camera!

That was a nice gesture on your part roundoak. I'll put in a good word for you.

Thank you for your generosity

That is way cool man!

Beautiful bucks!

What a wonderful gesture on your part. And we've simply come to expect no less from you.

Good on ya, Wayne!

Wow that’s fantastic good job helping him get such a once in a lifetime trophy!

No, but the neighbors seem to shot all the good bucks I have (had) on camera!!!

RO- I am always amazed at the willingness of some to “share” deer like that. I hope your were as happy helping them as I was reading about it. Outstanding gesture on your part.

Sir I hope to shake your hand one Day! What a Great Offer on your part, with letting the two Hunt your Place!

A class act for sure. Couldn't have turned out better!

Roundoak, God bless you. You have helped make some wonderful memories for that young man and his sister. I'm sure you will be blessed for this thoughtful act.

Wow, good for them, nice deer.

Congrats to both hunters and thank you for making it possible.

2 thumbs up for sure. Great gesture on your part.

Great story! And that bigger buck is an absolute stud!

Well done Oak. Way to show some class.
