So this weekend was opening day for deer hunting, and Aaron had a buck tag. So Saturday we loaded up the family,(yes, we made it a family event) and headed up to the mountains to our area. Aarons area is only about an hour from our house so it is not to far. We found a herd of 6 or 7 bucks but they were on private property and we couldn't find who owned the land to get permission. It was so frustrating because they were only about 50 yards from us and they could care less that we were sitting there watching them. There was a 7x7 point buck in that group!!! We got permission to hunt on the land next to where they were so we tried to spook them that directions but they wouldn't spook! It was so frustrating to be so close but not be able to do anything. It was like they were saying, nany nany boo boo, you can't catch me! So, we ended up staying the night at my sisters house who lives about 10 minutes from where we were. We got up bright and early in the morning at headed back to the same area. There were two 5 point buck on the property. It took Aaron a little while to actually shoot, but he took out the bigger of the two and he went down right away. We called my brother in law to come help us gut it and load it up. We came home and took it to the processor and in 7-10 days we will have our deer meat. It was a fun time with memories to always remember!

Very nice! I must add that Aaron looks very sneeky in his pants! HOT!
Did you give your kids the classic anatomy lesson as you gutted that thing? Good job on the buck.
