    My oldest son's day!

    I told my oldest son that he could play hookey this morning as the rut started hard. It paid off in spades as he found the buck he'd been waiting for since seeing him in August. He stole my Model 71 and put a nice stalk on him, shot him through the neck at 170 yards - boom whop!!!
    Pretty proud dad with a very proud young man.
