Gotta brag on my son today...he's beat his old man to the punch this year 
and I couldn't be happier 
We've hunted most weekends starting on youth weekend. The deer haven't cooperated at all in Austin Co, the only legal buck we've seen was hot after a doe and wouldn't stop for us. Today he went out with his mom and her family, to their lease in Houston Co, and called me slightly excited. Here's the story as told by Riley
"We saw him behind some thick brush, but he wasn't coming out. Orrin could see him when he started to come out into the opening, but I was having a hard time finding him in the scope. He finally stepped on out. I was shaking so bad, I was afraid that I would miss him. I put it behind his shoulder and squeezed off on him. He dropped in his tracks. Downed him right where he stood, Dad! He didn't take a step, just dropped straight down and kicked a few times. We gave him a few minutes and then headed down and took a picture"
I'll be wearing this grin for a week
