Smile I'm a proud Father!

Well..it was a good day today. My son went back to his stand after work around 4 and he took a dandy 4 x4 whitie @7 yards..right under the stand. He has been bow hunting for 3 seasons now with no success (could have flung a few at does but passed). I am very proud of him and it is a good one too. I'm sure it will make Pope and Young. Don't have pics to share yet but I will when I get some to post. I just came back myself from an evenning hunt and called in a spike Elk to 12 yards...passed him up, I want his dad! Tomorrow I'll be there again!!

Bighorn
Can hardly wait, had my oldest boy out a few times with no luck.
Great job on what I'm sure was a great buck and don't forget to give the guide a pat on the back as well...

That's great...I love reading all the stories this time of year about people getting out with their kids/family and friends. Awesome job!!! Don't find too many youngsters willing to pass up a shot, myself was one of them LOL. Sounds like you are raising a good young man, congrats to you as well

I know this is an old thread already.. but being the son of bighorn and all I thought I would post some pics of the white-tail seeing as the ol man started the thread and just didnt get around to posting.


scored 132 3/8s NET with only 2 inches of deduction. It feels good to let some carbon fligh with impact seeing as Ive had prime opportunity time and time again.
Thanks BigHorn! Hopefully next season we can all experience a hunt to remember with us three.
