WOOT!



A mighty hunter before the Lord...
Genesis 10:9


What you're looking at is a 3x3 (three antler points on each side) white-tail (deer) buck, that Tate took in Wyoming early yesterday morning.

I had to wait for the photo to tell you ;D

Grandpa said he did a great job and got a good, clean shot through both lungs.  That's good because the deer dies fast (doesn't suffer) and it doesn't spoil a lot of meat.  Grandpa also said that Tate was just a wee bit excited.  "He bounced off a couple of pine trees and his feet ought to hit the ground in a few minutes."

Way to go, Tate!

Well done, Tate! I just had my first venison at our neighbor's house - he's a hunter and had just gotten a doe. We are overrun with White-Tailed deer, so does can be shot here.
