Yesterday was my son Andrew's 8th birthday and he wanted to celebrate by going hunting. This would likely be his last evening hunt due to me starting 2nd shift today. It was 20 degrees when we left for his 38th sit of the season. Man it has been tough this year, but Drew just kept pushing on looking for his 2nd deer for the year. His drive to hunt is simply amazing for such a young boy. I'm so proud of him!

We got in the blind a little after 4 and things were slow until around 5:15 and Drew spotted 2 deer coming down the hill. He said one looked bigger and i reminded him to try and shoot the biggest.

When the bigger one got to 25yds Andrew got his crossbow on it and shot. The deer dropped in it's tracks and before i could get another bolt ready for him, it was done. Talk about a dirt nap!

I can't express how proud i am for sticking with it and getting it done! He said this is was the best birthday ever!
