Thanks for all of the compliments. I just got finished eating some grilled loins (yummy). By far the best part of the hunt for me is cutting out those inner loins and grilli'n em up that night. Yeah, turns out that my son is terrified of deer i guess, hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Congratulations on the buck.
I am sure you were mostly kidding about Junior, but just in case you have any doubt, I promise you there is no correlation. My son has been around dead deer his entire life and it never scared him in the least. He is now 15 and has a minimal and I mean minimal interest in hunting.
I can usually get him out to hunt 1 day around thanksgiving when his only other option would be to sit around the house visiting with relatives. A great kid and I wouldn't change a thing about him as we do have other activities that we enjoy together, just not hunting.
But come to think of it, he does like to be around the gutting and the processing. Heck, maybe he'll wind up being a preacher, which is certainly ok with me.
