A memory was made today in the beautiful November woods. The sky was clear and the air crisp and cool, a perfect morning for hunting whitetails with a bow & arrow.
This particular morning was a blessing for me,,my daughter Megan and I were able to bowhunt together for the first time this season. She is very involved in our church and school athletics. She has grown up around bows, arrows, whitetails and taxidermy all her life but had yet to take her first deer. That is until this morning…..

OK,OK I’m back to finish this! Honestly I apologize for taking soooo long on this but those of you who have active teenagers know how things can be at times .
Megan’s first deer!! Taken with a recurved-selfbow that she helped build and cedar arrows she made herself.

She made an excellent shot and we had a short recovery, I could not have asked for anything better. Not bad for a 17yr old GIRL!!! She now has some bragging rights when some of the “boys” give her a hard time about not hunting much. Look out guys this is only the beginning! Now not only can she out shoot most of us but she can also bring home the table fare.
I’m a proud Papa!!!

Kinda hard to tell from the photo who is the proudest! Good job Megan! I could hear "it" in your voice when you called me yesterday. I am here to tell you other tradgangers that Megan is a very special young lady and she comes from a pretty special set of parents too. I am proud to be included in their families circle friends!
