I took my five year old son out with me for a quick evening hunt to shoot a doe. We were 15 minutes into our sit and a doe came out and gave me a shot, so I took it. My son has never been with me when I’ve killed something, so he was anxious to go find her. I told him we would wait until dark to go look. Ten minutes later, there came a buck, bumping some does. It was a 13-pointer, double split brow tines. To say it was an incredible evening would be an understatement. The excitement in my boy’s eyes is something I will never forget. He said, “Dad, I can’t wait until next time, and I can’t wait to kill my first deer!”
