Gilbert,
I've seen pics of that young boy's impish grin... I'm thinking only the Lord himself could put that grin on full "best" behavior!
Enjoy your hunt! Time spent away sweetens the return! That family of yours is way precious, I can tell, so, I will indeed say prayers that the Lord keep angels guarding them night and day.
As for the buck, being "out there" is reward among God's own... Be it his will, shoot straight and track well, Pilgrim!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
