A Father-Son Buck


My 10-year-old son, Aidan, and I traveled to Trinity County this past Friday (October 2014) for an overnight hunting trip. After setting up camp, we headed out for an evening hunt with a relatively short hike into our hunting area planned. On the way to our hunting spot, I decided to stop by a little valley where over the years I'd consistently seen a lot of deer. We spotted this little 2 x 2 forked-horn buck feeding in the open within seconds of arriving. I closed the deal with a single approximately 50 yard uphill shot.

I was thrilled to share this experience with Aidan, who was so excited "we got a buck!" After field dressing our deer, we headed back to camp where I skinned him out and we recounted the story around the campfire.
