wrote, "Been somewhat of a discouraging year as we have not been seeing a
lot of deer and very few bucks at our camp. Have not really even gotten a
lot of pics of big deer. Wednesday, I put a two man ladder stand where I
had let two bucks go that I wanted Riley to shoot. Friday we got in there
and I decided to take my gun too because we could see so far out in the
cutover that we were watching. After about 30 minutes we look and see
this deer walking across the cutover. I told Riley to get ready because
he was headed toward us. Then he turned and started staying on the edge
and I told Riley he was not going to get close enough, and I asked if he
wanted me to shoot him. He told me “kill him Daddy”, so I grabbed my gun
and handed him the camera. The deer hit one last opening in the cutover
and was about 200 yards when I took the shot. Perfect shoulder shot and
he dropped right there. I think Riley was more excited for me than I was,
which made it very special. Once again, very blessed to be able to share
this together. Deer scored 127 inches."
