My oldest grandson graduated also. He finished in the top 10 in his class of 250. He got a full scholarship ride to Miami Univ. He'll be able to commute the 9 miles to Miami Univ. and work for his dad at the business.
He's also my deer and turkey hunting buddy.

Since he has always carried a 4.5 Grade. Avg. he hasn't taken any Final Exams since I don't know when.
He has tested out on several College Courses so he should get his 4 yr. Degree in 3 yrs.

Last but not least my 2nd granddaughter just graduated from Dayton Univ. this week.

This generation does make it look so easy. He lives next door here on the farm so maybe he'll get some deer hunting time in with his studies.

College and hunting sucks...it's doable though, namely if you have a good tree stand waiting for you when you get home! Several guys on here helped me get through that. Hard to wake up at 4am when you're used to going to bed at 2pm though.

Oh he has several good treestands, hunting towers here on my farm right behind his house within 500 yds. He's taken bucks with a shotgun and handgun and wants to take one with ML and bow. Now he needs to take one with a PRC.

He does have a good head on his shoulders and will go far. Him and his brother is always willing to help grandpa when I need it.

Yep our country boys seem to have a good understanding of what life is about, teach your kids to hunt and you won't have to hunt for your kids.
