lol thats a tough situation. i myself am just as pumped up when the ol man gets one as i am when i get one. im only 24 and hes 50 but i know that his days are numbered compared to mine and he has let some cockers go when i was younger so i could shoot. w/ that said we both go by the smae basic phylosiphy......take 'em when you can.....we both hunt by tracking and usually seperate but we often will double team a buck if he gives us troublke for a couple days in a row. double teaming works awesome. two guys on one deer track. the first one to see the deer shoots...usually this is the guy in back because he doesnbt have to pay attention to deer tracks and can be focusing on looking for the buck himself..

when i was younger thing werte different. ide get set down by him up on a saddle where the big bucks like to cross and he would do all kinds of leg woprk to put the bucks in my face so ide say he used to let me do the shooting......i was raised a liyttle diferent up here too and that meant if two or three nice bucks came out lay them buggers down too...good luck in your decision
