Title: Wades first Buck/ First snow
Post by: Keenan on October 07, 2011, 10:15:30 pm

 This morning Wade got his first Buck. This was a rifle kill as he is still not quite strong enough for legal bow weight. He dropped him with a perfect heart shot.

We also got our first snow of the fall in the mountains ;D

Congratulations Wade! My Dads never took me hunting when I was young. Now  I'm 33 and still haven't taken a deer because I haven't got that foundation. Keenan I bet your a proud Dad. Joel

   Fantastic!!!    Really sorry that we weren't able to hunt together this season.  I really look forward to next year.  You should be real proud, Wade.  I was 16 before I got my first buck.  I remember it like it was yesterday :D    Congratulations for a great shot..

I was 40. 

Any chance you can get him to post a short story of his hunt?  I think there are more than a few of us would like to hear it directly from the man.

Congratulations Wade!! That's awesome. That looks like a nice heavy buck and good eating I'm sure. Those are beautiful pictures and memories that will last as long as oral tradition is alive  ;)

Nothing better than sharing God's bounty with your son. Those snow capped mountains remind me of hunting near McCloud, CA... And Lowell's poem, The First Snow.

I love hunting, but I love it even more when I share it with my son.

Congratulations Wade and Keenan, nothing like passing on tradition on to a younger generation. I am really glad my dad took the time with me to instill these values and traditions. Enyoy all that tasty venison. Those are some rugged looking mountains you have there.     Kenneth
