This is the only "big" buck I've ever taken. It was Oct 2006 at my buddies farm in Illinois. I took my dad and we had the most memorable hunt of our lives. I made a bad shot (too far back) but my dad took me to school and taught me how to track a deer. That man was amazing. I NEVER would have found that deer if not for him. We kicked it up 24 hours after I shot him, backed out for another day, and found him 100 yards from where we kicked him up the first time - 2 days after the shot! You should have seen how happy he was when he found that buck! It's my best hunting memory ever.
That's my dad on the left, my cousin Tim in the middle, and me on the right.
