The deer for dad

Just got home. What a few days to always hold close. This is going to have to be a yearly trip. Walked in the front door and he was sleeping in his chair. Mom says "good luck waking him up" as soon as he heard my voice he snapped his eyes open and just smiled. I told him happy birthday and I brought him fresh meat. His eyes started leaking and he said "someone fucked you up a long time ago" 🤣 Solid complement from my parts.

He was pretty beat up from a spill he took Friday evening that landed him in the ER. So no pictures happened. One more month of this chemotherapy!!! Thanks for all the compliments and congratulations. Happy 62nd birthday old man! I'll bring the party to you every year I can.

This deer was more than the freezer would hold. Shes packed in tight and this evenings meal is going to be stuffed peppers because that's what he wanted. Cheers and thanks for listening to my rambles. All the bitter comments this week were staged. I had a freaking blast! Even though I got poison ivy, a bee tried to kill me, tractor tried to run me out of the county, weather was shit for hunting and Eva hates me now. Mission accomplished!

She freaked out because that's what she always does. She has been a pain in our ass for 6-7 years. Hell, she blew at everyone of our setups the last couple days. Dave coulda killed a beautiful buck this morning but decided he needed another year. He may not get it from me if he presents me an opportunity. This weekend really reminded me how much fun setting up on the ground and getting aggressive with the xbow is. Been quite a few years since I had done it. Definitely gonna keep it in my arsenal. Thanks for the great weekend Brother!
I was thinking about this buck this morning. Did he make it?

How did I miss this thread? Congrats on setting a plan and making it happen. Also, thanks for sharing. Still making memories and bringing it back around where it all started.

Nice wrist thingy you had there. Team Giles! I like it. Next come WWgD What would giles do!
The color is for brain cancer. There's a thread buried in here while you were gone. We still have him and glad to have a fight to fight. That being said, he ain't the man he used to be. Still my hero though! That tough sumbitch just won't give up!!! More heart and soul than most deserve.
