CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST DEER
You are a very fortunate to of been able to share the whole experience with your father, I lost my father last year just a few months before I took my best deer and I would have given anything to of been able to share that with my father.
Now we will look forward to seeing lots of deer from you for many yaers to come

Congrats on your first deer!!! I can still remember to this day how wonderful it felt to harvest my first(many moons ago) and I was lucky enough to have my dad right beside me when I did it. Honestly I still get a different feeling when I am in the woods with my dad and mom and its even better if one of us was to harvest an animal, almost the same as the first. I will be there when my sons take their first animals if they decide to take up hunting. I will not push them to do anything they do not want as my parents never did that to me. I do not worry about them though since they are both worrying me to death about taking them out this year. My oldest is 7 and my other one will be 6 in Dec (he is named Hunter by the way!!) and I took them out for a few hours a couple of times last year and I think I loved it more then they did!!

Congrats! I think your hunt was more enjoyable in that you hunted with your Dad than by bagging a deer! I have countless memories of hunting with my Dad and some of them were when neither of us got a deer, but instead just told stories of the day' s hunt and what we saw. Great opportunity you have with your Dad so hunt together every opportunity you get!!
