Thanks guys, my son will enjoy reading all your comments.
Bernie...he sure did push it right up until the wire. Although he wanted to take a deer real bad he still passed up several marginal shots waiting for the right one. Again his patience paid off. Thanks again for posting him on your web page last year! Gene and Barry Wensel also put him on their site...you guys sure know how to make a kid feel special!
Doc...we'll see you in NJ or Baltimore, we plan on attending both this spring. Sorry I couldn't get you out to hunt this year. We lost a property and the other one turned over the corn and planted winter wheat. Haven't seen a deer in the field since. Every deer is across the street and I don't have permission there.(all 40 plus of them)!!!
Everyone...thanks again!

Tim, you are a most fortunate man. This country needs many more just like your boy. There may still be hope!

Tim, it was my pleasure and fit in good with the "premise" of my site - "Hunters Are People Too" - also I get/got the pleasure this year of adding the latest, traditional chapter. (Oh, also I enhanced the photo a little and they show your happy faces a little better I think.) Check it out:

Great story. I live in PA as well. My son is 11 and we are studying for the safety test. Where is PA are you hunting where the deer ran into a tidal area?

The doe was taken this Friday on an Audobon property outside of St Michael's Maryland. I have a great permission with quite a few deer to enhance the odds. We live just south of Lancaster PA. I still remember my wife and son going to the hunter safety course back when Tim was 11, it seems like yesterday. Last year he an opportunity to attend Bowhunters Education which is also a great program for young hunters. Good luck, I'm sure you'll be right behind us building fantastic memories in the field! Tim
