My son Jared got his first deer this morning at his Grandpa's farm in Hamilton county! If anyone deserved a deer, it was him. We started this season trying to get a deer during bow, where he did shoot one, but got away from us. Then the first juvinile we didn't see a deer. Then came muzzleloader, every deer we saw was either too far away or bustin' us! He would come in straight from school, put on his hunting clothes and hollar at me to come on! When gun season started we saw some deer, but all does. He was gettin' very frustrated! As a matter of fact, he gave up on huntin' for most of the rest of the season. I was so upset, cause DADDY'S are supposed to get their kids a deer and I wasn't providing! Me and my Dad have worked hard pretty much all season trying to get him a deer, building ground blinds, putting up treestands, planting food plots, untill I didn't think it was gonna happen. This morning he was so excited that we both knew "Today is the Day"! I was on pins and needles from daylight until 9:00 when the deer finally showed up! I was making him wait on the big doe, but she knew something was up! I even told him to shut his eyes for a second cause he was gettin Buck Fever in a bad way! When the big doe turned around and started back where she came from, I told him to shoot the smaller one and did he ever! She was 60 yards,slightly quartering away, and he put it in the boiler room! She didn't take a step! Jared is 9 years old and will amaze you at how patient he is. While he was walking to his prize, he turned around and told me that he was shaking so bad that he thought he gut shot her. I laughed and told him he didn't have to worry about guttin' her! God has givin' me 3 wonderful boys, and today me and Jared held hands in that ground blind, Asked the Lord to bless him with his First deer, and keep us safe! Just goes to show you what Our God will do when a 9 year old and his earthly father ask him with just a simple prayer! emoAngel
