Headed out with my son and uncle to the deer lease in Brownwood. This was my oldest son's first hunt and you can guess how excited he was. Our friend Jay met us out there. Friday night my son and I saw 13 doe, Jay didn't see anything, but My uncle took a nice 8 point. Saturday morning Jay took the 9 point we all were chasing from the game cam pics. My uncle said it was the biggest they've ever shot in 15 years there. 17 3/4" spread. beautiful buck. My son and I took a nice doe, but didn't take any pictures with him next to it. DOH! He cleaned her like a champ. I showed him where to cut and how to get everything out and he did perfect. 3 deer in less than 12 hours including 2 big bucks. We hit one of the stock tanks for a little fishing and caught over 70 8-9 1/2" bluegills and a couple of keeper bass, so we had a nice fish fry sat night. Sunday morning we got up for a little duck hunt action, but none of the ponds had any. bummer. almost had a trifecta of deer, duck and fish. That boy was on cloud 9 all weekend. except for when he ran into a cactus and fell off the zip line.
