anything at our house that is big is known as daddy sized. for instance a big spoon or a large t shirt, my 2 year old will say that is a big ol daddy sized t shirt.

anyway, we were in the shed today looking over my little buck from wed. evening and I was thinking that he looked pretty small.

I had killed a tiny yearling doe sat and he was thinking about that and he said daddy you killed two deer. one little bitty one and a big ol daddy sized buck.

to him that buck was huge. mad me feel a lot prouder of that deer. if my 2 year old is excited about it then I am to.

Or in my case, my wife and 7 year old came out and looked at mine kinda shrugged their shoulders and said,, "Why'd ya shoot that? I thought you wasnt going to shoot any more that size.":mad2::blah::toilet:

You never know what will come out of their mouths. Sometimes we really need to hear what they have to say! You should be prouder of that buck!!!

Pastor, that was your first doe and buck with a bow if I remember right. I also remember just a few short weeks ago you changed your whole shooting form from what you had more or less taught yourself on. My man, you have a bunch to be proud of regardless of the size of the buck. You have accomplished alot in one short season. Keep it up.:2thumbsup:

As far as your little one, there are a whole lot more proud moments ahead to look forward to :claphands:

I have taken my son with me a few times in the past but this year was the first time he was there when I shot a deer. He was bug eyed & so excited when he heard the doe go down. I took him over to where she was standing when I shot and he got to do his first attempt at blood trailing. He was so excited that he forgot about the 9 1/2 hours of boredom that lead up to that point. I think at that moment he understood what it was all about. He is 7 now and has made it very clear that he wants to be the one pulling the trigger next year.
