Title: Good day to be a dad!!!

Jake has been a hunting fool this year between sports and school.  We made it out to our stands early this morning, about 25 minutes before light.  We no sooner got set down and the bucks started running. Crazy sitting there in the dark and deer running everywhere.  We saw probably 10 different bucks in an hour and all of them we chasing does or chasing each other.  Just after sunrise Jacob dumped an arrow into this bad boy that ran about 80 yrds and piled up.  I like hunting and harvesting deer but it is a whole new level when your kids take a deer.  Pretty proud that he stayed calm and put a good shot on this boy.

Always enjoy seeing pics of successful young hunters. Seems to have more significance than pics of us old geezers.

Congratulations from Florida!   :clapper:

A memory to last a lifetime.

I have always said.

As we teach our kids about life, they teach us what life is all about.

Great Job--my three year old boy threw up all over the couch at 2 in the morning and had a high fever all day; twin one year old girls were onery and did not help the situation--I can't wait until I can take them hunting--until then I am enjoying the ride!
