    Default "Dad, I just shot an 8-point buck"

    I had just settled down in my stand when I heard a shot from behind me. In few minutes the cell phone in my pocket vibrated. It was my Dad, the greatest deer hunter I know, asking if his grandson (my 14-year-old) had just shot. Before I could get a word out, my phone beeped with a call from my son. I switched over, "Dad, I just shot an 8-point buck".

    Woo Whoo.

    I gave him is Christmas present, a stainless Browning A-Bolt in .30/06, early at about 9:00 pm last evening. By 8:00 am, less than 11 hours later, he had already had his first deer on the ground, a nice 8-point.

    My Dad had picked a spot deep in the woods and set up a stand for his two grandsons. This stand is like he hunts - no corn pile, no field, just a well-placed stand in the deer's livingroom.

    Only a father can understand how proud I am. We heading back out to set for the evening...

    My Dad and my son with my son's first deer:

    Good stuff!!!
    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
