Default My boy gets his first buck!!!!

Long day, beautiful weather.... little guy passed on a lot of does that came our way.




Then... this evening the patience paid off for the hunter..




Nice placed shot... bang flop!

Big smiles all around.



He had three chances at this guy..... very proud that he took his time.

Outstanding Bessie! Great that you were out with your boy getting his buck, Congratulations to both of you!

That would explain why the Oilers lost to the Rangers, nobody around to take one for the team....
