Congradulations on your deer.
Yes fathers are special, those that take their responibilties seriously. Hunt with him often and enjoy the experiences because there will come a time when that is no longer possible.
I also had a great father, that taught me the ways of the woods. We were good hunting buddies. When he got to old to hunt he was the first one waiting to hear the stories. Now hes gone but his memory lives on. My son and I both had the privledge to hunt beside a great man.
Happy hunting
