tell your dad congrats twice for me, first for the deer and secondly for the incredible weight loss, i would bet that has changed his life, very nice story, like to hear these.......

Great story and Congrats. to your father .
Congrats, to you and your brother also!

Nice job, to you and your Dad for sticking with it. I have a buddy who is bigger, but is more afraid of heights than anything. He and his Dad got a couple of buddy stands and never blink about getting up in them.
What kind of stand did your Dad use?

Thanks for all of the great replys men, my father has read them and I am sure he appreciates all of them. I believe that the stand he is using is a Grand Slam from API. It has been a good one for him and from what I know he likes it a ton.

Let me tell you this, I lost my best ever hunting partner 3 years ago to Cancer. It was my Dad. He is the ONE who is responsible for teaching me all I know about hunting and much more.
I have to say to any of you guys out there lucky enough to still be hunting with your Dad... man, drink it up as the song goes... cause thats the good stuff.
Congrats to your Pop!

I'm so happy to hear about your dad's success this morning! That's great to hear! I hope he can't wait to get in the stand again a fling another arrow!

Give your dad a BIG handshake from this WV Boy!

I am so HAPPY for your Father I can only imagine the size of the smile on his face
