Hey guys..... Just a quick note to drop in after coming off a high that can't be explained! I had the pleasure of joing my son Logan, 9 years old, on his first youth deer hunt this year! After a restless night Friday, Saturday morning found us in the tree stand at 6:30 am waiting for the woods to come alive. Well as we arrived at the tree we bumped deer....so we knew they were in the area! At about 7:15 a doe came running down the bank with her ass on fire....no doubt she was being chased! ...Chased she was!! By a 9 point buck that you could see with no problem at all. Logan kept the composure of a pro and let the Grunting buck make his way in. At about 30 yards Logan 20 gauge slug gun barked and the Buck DROPPED IN HIS TRACKS!! What a feeling...after many phone calls we climbed down, got a tag on him and took many photos! The buck ended being a 3 year old, tipping the scales at 174 pounds! Words can describe the elation i felt.....to top it off my wife and dad made the treck up the ridge to help with the drag out! Just an absolutely awesome day! Enjoy the pics!

Great job! You just made a deer hunter for life, I wish there were more kids out in the woods instead of infront of the TV.
