    Great story, great pics, GREAT buck! Congrats man!!!! I just got my first grandbaby at around 2 am this morning, and it's gonna be a long wait til I can take him hunting with me. Enjoy that rush and look forward to seeing your little man get his first deer. No matter what it is it will be a rush of pure excitement :) Congrats again!

    Thanks for the kind words guys. Feels strange both good and bad to know that bucks are off limits for the rest of the season. Some of you know that I hunt a ton right up until I leave for my annual Denver Trade Show in mid January. I've got 3 doe tags, but if given the opportunity I'll only fill two of them. I just can't use more than 3 deer. I need to shoot at least one more to catch up to Quik in points for the Bunny Hit Squad.

    Bunnies, I really like to get to the score card, but it's gonna have to wait until tonight or tomorrow. I just ran up here to my brother's house to check in and say thanks.

    Congratulations Ben! That's a fine buck, whether he's your first or not. Hunting is all about making memories and having fun, and it looks like you're doing a great job at both. :tu:
