You know,
I could not be happier/prouder of my father today, 62 years old and he shot the number one deer I had on my hit list for the 2020 season, which was no small feat.
To day for him started off thinking that I would not be able to assist if he harvested a deer, originally I was supposed to hunt with him, but the wife made different plans for me this am or so we thought, I still assumed that my father was gonna head to where we had planned to hunt. But at 4:58 am today, I am awoken by a text msg, stating that he was gonna go after a different deer that I have on camera a few times.
But i heard the text and responded NO! the big boy is still alive, and my plans fell thru I will be able to come if you need help or do you want me to go too, he replied go back to bed ill text you if I need you.
8:30 i get a text kicked two does and one big deer out on way in, nada well sitting in the seat. I replied take the logging rd above you that leads to the top of the MTN, and check the ledges above the hemlocks always deer there, he replied, maybe if i get the energy.
at 9:43, my house phone rings, and wife yells its your dad, i answer saying you either need help or you got him,
the Reply, I GOT HIM, HE IS DEAD, right next to me, i ask was he the big one, reply oh yes he is massive please come help, said ill see ya in an hr laced boots up and headed off.
What a great day, the 30-06 shot straight at least one of the two times LOL
congrats dad
