Another first buck

My son's first buck, you would have thought he was 6 foot 8 and 300 pounds the way his chest was swollen up after the buck was down. Nothing like being there for an occasion like that. I'm guessing I was lookin' pretty proud also.
Opening afternoon, about a 325 yard well placed shot, then another for good measure...lol. Before we even seen the deer my son was making himself a rest in a sagebrush and getting ready. I was watching through the binos and told him, "the last one is a buck" then waited...and waited. I didn't think he was going to shoot because it felt like an eternity. Then "Boom" and the slap of a solid connection...
Snowed like crazy on us while we were cleaning him and dragging him out. Another memory locked in place and the start of a great big game hunters career.

The vast majority of people don't realize that some of us expend tremendous amounts of energy to merely appear normal.
