Yesterday the 30th my son and I went hunting at one of our local hunting spots instead of driving to Rock Hall, Md. and what a good decision that was. Ernie my son is 9 years old and all that practicing I had him do finally paid off when a 10 point buck came within 20 yards of us. We were perched in a metal ladder stand with me sitting in the crotch of the tree. Finally we had a favorable shot and Ernie made it good. The deer traveled about 150 yards and we recovered it this morning.

Way to go, Ernie,
Take a lot of pictures. He'll really enjoy them when he's older.
Great story.
I can see the beaming smile from here. Pretty work little Earnie.

Congratulations to the young man.[grin] Hope he continues to enjoy the outdoors, especilly with his Dad, I know for me that has always been a special part of hunting. I have been hunting since I was about your sons age, some years back now, but I have treasured every moment afield with my Dad.
Good Huntin' to the both of you![grin]
