Proud dad moment my oldest (17) is a pretty determined kid in everything he wants to accomplish , he was excited to hunt on his own locally least after school etc when time permitted. So he scouted many state land areas in early sept. and finally pinpointed a spot to bow hunt, had good success seeing deer and even getting shot at a doe unfortunately didn’t connect that time. So fast forward to rifle
We headed to the UP for opener he had couple small bucks but nothing 6pt or better. So he decided to head out and try his spot today, texted me said it was tore up since was out last with rubs, etc . 10 min later he calls and said he just shot a buck and thinks he heard it crash , I was so excited for him we chatted quick but then he went to trail the blood. So I get a text pic 5 min later success!! Made a great shot and he didn’t go 40-50yds he said nice 6pt or we called it a Fred Trost 8pt since has couple pts that are 1/2” long so lol. He managed to get it all done and out on his own using my jet sled , and put it in the back of his little jeep!!
