Daddy took me deer hunting today. It was pretty cold and windy and we weren't seeing any deer. Then Daddy said, "There's a deer " !! A buck was coming toward us and he told me to wait for a good shot . I could see he only had horns on one side but he said " shoot him anyway " ! He came up close to us and when I shot he dropped straight down and rolled over !!
Daddy said he was pretty old because his teeth were worn down. We were both really excited. Too bad one main beam was broken but I am still happy with him.

Congrats on a fine buck. They are all trophies. Way to go! :congrats:
Congratulations Lacie ! :yoyo: :congrats:
Way to go Lacie :yoyo: :yoyo:
Yep that will fill the empty spot in the belly for awhile
You must be pretty tuff you did say it was cold and there you are in a T-shirt
Now that is what I call a great hunt :laf:
Even with just one beam it's still a nice buck. Heck, bigger than most of the ones I've taken. :biggrin: Good job kid.
Lacie,
That is a very nice buck and I am sure that you are proud of it. I am also sure that your Dad is proud of you. Speaking of Dad, did he get a deer yet?
Jerry
edit: What state do you live in that you think it is cold and yet are wearing a short sleeved shirt? :biggrin:
Lacie... :congrats: congratulations !!! You did well, some hunters may go years without seeing a nice deer like that. :highclap:
Yay Ray :yahoo:. That there is a fine buck and as others have said horn don't count in the freezer but on another note you'll be able to pick that fella outa a wall full with all their head gear :eyebrow:.
Congratulations Lacie!! That's a dandy buck for sure!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
Thanks everyone !!!!. We live in West Virginia and it was cold at daylight, we were in our stand before daylight. I got my deer at 9:00 then we waited to see if daddy could get one but the only other buck we saw was on the neighbor's land and we didn't have permission. Daddy said he didn't care because he was so happy that I got one . By the time we took the picture it had warmed up in the 60's . We quit hunting early so we could skin it and get it cooled.

:laf: :laf: Sorry dog dropper, I think I'll keep my Daddy. I think you have a great Daddy too, my Daddy really likes him. Hopefully we will all get to meet someday.
Dave, I hit him in the right front shoulder and it went into his lungs so only one shoulder was wasted. Thanks again everyone for all the nice comments !!!
Same here Lacie!!! BUT I bet if our dad's met we might not have dads, they might go to jail for their antics! :laf: Let's see if your PM's work...
