    Congrats to both of you.

    The best part is, you will feel that same feeling with every deer he kills.

    thank you everyone! I would trade every kill I have to keep this feeling going. It was truly the best hunting experience I have ever been apart of. The true excitement he had was priceless. He still can't believe it's real this morning. This was his 5th shot at a deer this year. He had completely missed the other 4 and was starting to get down on himself.. When we got to his deer the first thing he did was look up at me and said "dad, the first thing we need to do is thank Jesus for this" I am even more proud of that!

    [h=2]“A hunt based only on the trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be.” -Fred Bear[/h]Passing down the tradition of wildlife conservation and hunting from generation to generation is the responsibility of all of us. Great job kiddo! Congratulations on that memory Vabowman! You never forget your first kill!

    I agree 100%! My youngest daughter is 10 years old and is with me in the stand every day of rifle season. I would trade all my trophy kills to watch her get her first deer.
