Anyway this year he's harvested several doe and let several small bucks pass. I've given him the green light, but he has chosen to wait on a decent buck. This past Saturday he insisted that I take my gun along on the hunt. Most times when he goes I make it all about him, but he said we was gonna double that afternoon so I gave in.
20 minutes after getting into the stand we had a doe bolt across the field. Not far behind her was a buck we both recognized from trail cameras as a cull. A 3 year old, wide 4 point that needed to go. Hunter took the shot (about 150 yards) and dropped the deer in its tracks. After a celebration we called my father in law to bring the ranger. While we were waiting that same doe (I'm assuming) bolted back out of the thicket. This time she had an 8 point right on her tail. There was nothing special about him but the chance to double with my son was all it took for me to send a round his way.
It is for sure one of the most memorable hunts I've ever experienced.
