Nice one! Big rack.
Wonder if we could have a seasonal hunting section for post's, I know a few of us hunt. Just sayin'.

[Ms Fish]

I don't think I could actually shoot and kill a boar or deer    but I sure would like to learn how to clean them!  I know how to cook um, it's the cleaning part that I am interested in learning. Ain't that right Mark!!!!! Either way, I'll say again, job verrrry well done and memories for a life time!!! Did I mention the Jerky, Tender Loin, or ground meat for Chili yet?

Problem there is some posts also have Guns   Deer do not.
And funny how one can turn a post from a celebration to Viral One

I dont understand what that means OB.... But none the less, it was a great story with photos  that they will cherrish for a life time!!! Now, about that jerky....

It means that hes bored and has nothing to do after Springer and Maury go off the air. So in order to get a rise he wants to stir the pot hence the is named in his honor

Waking early in the morning, to prepare ourselves, our packs, and rifles to go out for the day, my heart would start pounding so hard, I could feel it in my ears. That was just the start of it, as we pressed on throughout the day the rush would grow. Each time we looked across a field and saw an animal in a meadow, the rush would reach new levels. The rush didn't peak until the last hour of the last day, and it came apparent that we weren’t going to get a kill. However the kill isn’t really what it was about. It was more the fact of being there with my father who I have always been close.
This time spent in the wild, “just us guys”, was one of the best weeks of my life. In the years since I have been hoping to reach this level again, but have not been able to. Not to say I don’t enjoy them, they just don’t compare. The excitement that built in anticipation of waiting to see what was to come, the adrenalin of the hunt or the search, but most of all, the bond I felt between myself and my great family, will probably never be matched. I will continue to go each year.

What the flock

Denn,
What you wrote is so true, I use to only experiance that feeling being the son, going out with my dad. We would be out in the woods, and He'd look down at me and smile, i always wondered what it was all about. Well yesterday, I got to be the Dad taking my son out hunting. I was able to put myself in his shoes,  looking down at my son and just smiling. I now know what he was thinking and feeling.....Truly a special bond, that would have been made even without the deer. With dad now gone, i know hes smiling down on both of us.

Great story and nice deer     except having to wade in the cold lake  

Ahh, the lake. My boy looked at me, then in the water, and then back up an me and said "Looks like your going swimming pop" "did ya bring your speedos?"and then we just stared at this deers but looking up at us and just belly laughed for a couple of minutes.......(little smart azz)

Verry sweet Matt.... that is what it's allll about... being with your son; spending that time together that he will remember and cherrish for a life time such as you and Dennis have with the memories of hunting with your fathers! Dads ROCK!
