Kaden's First Deer



Kaden and I have been hunting deer together since he was little, but this year was different because he got to carry a gun. Wrestling practice got in the way during the week, but the first chance we got, we went hunting. On our second day of hunting, we saw a group of five does about 50 yards away. Kaden was nervous, but held steady on one doe as she bounced away and shot her through the lungs at 75 yards out. She ran for about 50 yards and fell over dead. He couldn't quit smiling. We went on and about 10 minutes later, I shot this little buck. Kaden thinks it is funny that I ruined the backstraps by shooting too high. We cleaned both deer and got home by about 9:30 am.

Sa-weet! Great job, Kaden. At least one deer will have delicious backstraps . . . :)
