Nice buck and great story. Brings back memories of my late dad. He quit hunting when I was about 18 and just turned it all over to me, but when I stuck a deer he was the first phone call I would make and he was there for every tracking job. Cherish these things with your dad while you can.
Hey maybe its us 39 year olds year!?! I just broke my slump too. Congrats again and hopefully we can double down next year.
