Your caption at the bottom says it all for you. Looks like a fantastic family and you are teaching them the right way. I started at about the same age as your boys with my dad and loved every minute that I spent with him until his passing. God bless you and yours.

Took David out for ground blind hunt....





this little guy came by right before dark and David got to witness his first deer being shot, pretty cool night for both of us  

[23feetupandhappy]

Then with a  bonus buck tag in my pocket I took this guy on the last night of our hunt right at dark.....

[23feetupandhappy]

With one antlerless tag left in my pocket I tried a spot that hadn't been hunted much on our farm and scored on this nice doe....



As I found her....





First time iv taken 4 deer in one year with my bow  

Thank you Lord for Providing for us
