Ben's whitetail buck

After many countless hunting hours I am proud to announce that Ben got his whitetail buck, hooray!!!! It was the day after Thanksgiving and it was snowing really heavy. Logan spotted some whitetails by a river so they got on a hill where they could see them without spooking them. It was snowing and foggy but Ben managed to spot the buck. Took a 400 yard shot and got him, great job honey! He had to cross the river to get to him and when he came upon him realized he had killed what looked just like Elliot from the movie Open Season! He was missing his right side horns...darn it. He is still an awesome buck for the area they don't get super big around there and I'm so proud of him. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever!!! What a great hunting duo these two make!

Don't mind all the bloody mess...

I'm not sure what Logan thought was so funny but it makes for a cute picture!



The next day Ben and my Dad butchered the deer meat while me and Caroline packaged the meat.

The kids all had a blast in there while they were doing it. Minus Logan who has always been my squeamish one.

Thanks Dad for making Ben's hunting experience a great one. We love you lots!!
