Hunting opening day on the islands in st.charles..with my pops and favorite uncle !!!. The river was up and had to move my stand out of my sweet spot ! My uncle again on a hunch said , Boy I think this would be a good spot the deer are really on the bank. No heistation on my part ..as he's been hunting for 30 years . went and grabed my stand and that was that. Next day we hunted in the morning and didn't see a thang but squirls ... came back for evening hunt and thats when the Magic happend. Sitting there about an hour and I just had a really good feelin .. even remember texting my cousin to make sure he was droping off my Camera that he barrowed ... told him it's about to be a KODAK MOEMENT ! Around 5 I heard some crashing behind and turned to look back and seen a buck 50 yards to my left ... waited for the deer to get to a clearing and droped the deer where he stood ... deer did jump up and I put another shot on him . As he went down I really only thought it was a 8 pointer .. My heart was pumpin and I was shakin and Fist pumping . Even let a WOO HOO ! dad called phone and said was that you . Said yep , got a 8 pointer ... said ok he'd be over to help me drag... uncle called to see what I got as well and said he was bringing the boat over to come help ... like i said the water has been up this year , so dad brought me the wadders and i had to walk across a small slew about 2 foot deep ... walked up a slight hill and could hear my dad going "well how big , how big " Said hang on ... I know he's up here ... I shined my flash light up the hill a little more and all I remember after that was going crazy... Said Oh my gosh about 20 times, Jumped up in the air .. more fist pumping....... said Dad, uncle Ron ... you are NOT GONNA BELIEVE this ... there both going " what , what " ... Said it's like a 12 pointer . Never really thought this day would ever come . I've been Waiting for a wall mounter since I was 11 years old ! I'm now 26.all I know Is I can wake up for hunting without touching the snooze , I LIVE FOR THIS STUFF , it's my DREAM job ! The look on my pops face was priceless... feels good to make your dad smile and make him proud.. The look on my uncle's face as well was just a moement I well never forget . Thanks POPS , Thanks unlce Ron !

A MOMENT I WILL NEVER FORGET !
