Nice looking Buck John! Tell the kiddo Gratz!

Maybe some year you can come hunting in WI..we got a 40 acre spread up North I haven't been to in a long time, need some hunting buddies to motivate me!
Nate is saying, "Let's Go!"
He wants a big Wisconsin buck.

That would be nice, real nice.
I'd have to buy some better insulated boots for Nate and I.
It's 40° and he's complaining his tootsies are frozen.... LOL.
 
Awesome Chile time with son is for sure like lasting memories that you both will always remember. Nice buck congrats to son did he also shot the hog?

Yes indeed, great memories.
I don't really care if I get anything, as long as I get to see his face when he does.
Priceless to me.

No, George got the hog.
None of us wanted to clean her, she smelled worse than some boars.

Well if you are ever seriously considering it, let me know and I'll talk to my aunt and all of that. She's the caretaker of the property as it were. <One of them big families, but she's the one that got the job in my grandpa's will when he passed years ago>.

Hope he'd like roughing it..we use a wood burner up there to stay warm and got an outhouse ;)

Wouldn't be a real deer camp with indoor plumbing and no wood stove!

So cool. My best memories are doing things with my parents! Years from now, you will both love the time you spent together! Big like!

LOL.. The cabin at this place does have a nice fireplace, but cutting, splitting and hauling splits is as rough as it gets.
+/- 1800sq ft, master with full bath, two bunks rooms sleep eight, another full bath, laundry, full kitchen with gas/electric, large pole barn on 1500 acres, a dozen plots with blinds/stands for any wind and a stocked pond.
Deer, hogs, turkeys, yotes, rabbit and squirrels.

Wow. Holiday Inn!!!

Ours was a mile off nearest road. Mom would load us up with leftovers and lots of other food to last 3 days.

My dad, my brother and I would pack up all of our gear and grub and head out the day after Thanksgiving...

When there was snow, as there usually was, we would pack all of our supplies on tobbogans and pull the the mile. We had to cross a steep ravine on an old plank bridge over the creek, and let me tell you it was some work keeping those tobbogans from getting away from you going downhill, and some sweat-popping work getting it up the other side.

When we got there, first thing dad would do was get the wood stove going, and we would get our sleeping, bags and army wool blankets laid out on the bunks.

Friday afternoon hunt, then supper by the woodstove.

Saturday morning up and early, dad cooked breakfast and then out in the below zero weather for the morning hunt.

Hot lunch and a nap, evening hunt, then back to the woodstove for hot chow, listen to the radio, play board games etc,

Sunday quick breakfast, let fire die, hunt again till lunch time. Quick cold lunch, pack up, haul the loaded tobbogans back down and up the ravine, then home to tell mom and our sisters stories of fun, success and failure.

Great memories.
 
This little bit.... doe busted us twice this afternoon.
Third time I put her down, but she still gave me one last screw you by running about 40 yards into dense brambles.
She did this with a pretty good chunk taken of the top edge of her heart.
Dammit girl!

Just hit 82#, an average sized doe for Lower Bama.
She'll be tasty for sure.

Looks like a great trip with your son I'm sure he'll cherish memories made there for a very long time. Both of you harvested some good eating to congrats to both of you.
 
My Congrats to the Young Man on his #2 Buck!!!
I love his weapon of choice, as my favorite is my Model #88 Winchester .308.
Thanks for showing!
