Well we just got back from our annual opening week of rifle at the cabin. This year we saw alot of deer, and alot of bucks. I personally saw 3-4 bucks per day, and we collectively sawprobably 8-10 good 8pts for the week, and one whopper (that we couldn't connect with). We ended up taking 4 nice bucks for the week, and ironically all were 8pts. We also took 6 does. The highlight for me was that myself, my 11yr old son, and my 65yr old dad all got nice bucks this year. Throw in my 14yr old nephew...and his buck, it was a week to remember! Enjoy

My son just turned 11three weeks ago, this is his 3rd buck ever, and best to date. He made an amazing 125yd shot on this buck (in the woods) dropping him in his tracks! Then he proceeded to jump up and down, jacked beyond belief. It was awesome....I couldn't be happier for him! His opening day 8pt!



Here is my deer, taken Thanksgiving morning. First year in about 10yrs that I've taken one on Thanksgiving. Can't complain about him for where we hunt. I passed about15 bucks prior to seeing him.



Here is my Dad's buck...his best to date. He was so happy to finally get a nice one. We let all the small bucks walk, and my dad seems to have a knack of either only seeing small bucks or messing up when he sees a nice one. This time it worked out!



Last but not least, my 14yr old nephew got his buck on opening day as well. His best to date, and he was pumped!



All in all, a great week and one to remember for sure. I spend most of my time bowhunting, but this one week each year is special to me. Good times with friends and family....great memories made that will last a lifetime for sure.
