Default Man!, sorry just need to vent

O.K., please pardon my whineing but I just need to vent a little. To make a long story short I've been hunting this area of private land (approx. 2,000 acres) that I know has a good buck in the area. I really want to take him with my bow. The area is leased by myself and my brother-in-law. I told my brother-in-law the certain area where I had been seeing signs & I told him he should go & hunt it when I was working (Now, here is where I need to be kicked in the rear. I told him about the area where I noticed the signs and said he should go & hunt there when I was working just to be nice, but deep, deep down inside I really didnt think he would go to that area because he has a certain area that he hunts all tha time). Well I was wrong. He went this weekend & MISSED THE DEER WITH HIS RIFLE. He said it was a pretty big 8 point. (By the way this was Sunday, I dont hunt on Sundays cause thats church day). Anyway I thought ok thats alright he knows he missed him so I'll go after him this weekend. Well sir, yesterday evening my nephew who is 17 y/o (My brother-in-laws son) went to my spot & killed my deer. It was a very nice 9 point. He'll go about 175lbs, & score about 110. Not a monster but one I sure would have liked to sling an arrow at. But you know I think (no wait, I KNOW) the good Lord knew what he was doing because my nephew doesnt hunt alot & has never killed a buck & this was his first. And to see & hear a 17y/o, that is normally quiet all the time, get SO EXCITED over what he harvested, it realy made my day. Yes I have put in alot of time & effort & money and it is a little frustrating, but overall I dont think I would planned it any other way. Sorry to be so longwinded but I just wanted to share this with my other hunt'en buddies. O, by the way I told my nephew that if ever did that again I would break his neck (HA, HA just kidding)
