My son's first kill...

So I am watching a beautiful buck walk around my back yard down by the barn when Brady comes out and sees him and takes off running to Vic's.  2 minutes later my world was rocked by the sound of a gun, the majestic deer ran into our barn followed by Vic and Brady and a 2nd shot.  All was quiet except my sobs.  I love watching the deer, it is one of my favorite activities over the last few years and I was heart broken to witness his death. 

Once I composed myself I went over and watched Vic and Brady gut, skin and quarter the carcass for aging.  Shane helped also but Brady was more than happy to be hands on.

A very proud hunter.

I was amazed how quickly the carcass was dealt with, but Vic can probably handle a deer in his sleep so thank heavens for all the help we get from him.

We were hoping to be able to put a deer in the freezer this year and Brady is proud to take the assist in bagging the deer this year.  He has high hopes of passing the gun safety class next year.  We will probably not be able to stop him from wanting to hunt every year from now on.

As it is Brady loves spending his free time shooting guns and has started to mess around with my bow and arrow (he is an awesome shot and will be better than I am before long!)
